Buying guide
For a second baby, look for muslin gifts that fit into a wardrobe that's already stretched thin: a muslin cotton set for everyday wear, a snuggle hug towel for bath time, and a muslin cotton onesie for quick changes. Each one is soft from the first wash and only gets softer with every one after.

Second children rarely get a wardrobe of their own, so a gift that earns a spot in the everyday rotation means more than one that sits folded in a drawer. We make our muslin pieces in Bali, double-layer cotton, pre-washed so they arrive soft rather than stiff from the packet. A friend who already has one baby usually knows what didn't get used the first time, so simple and useful is the better bet than something new for the sake of new.
A muslin cotton set that adds an easy layer for those in-between days, useful when a family already has plenty of single outfits.
A muslin towel for bath time and quick clean-ups, an addition that isn't just one more outfit taking up drawer space.
A onesie for quick changes and warm days, one of the pieces a parent tends to reach for again and again during the newborn weeks.
Muslin gets softer with every wash, so it holds up to daily use instead of sitting unworn. A towel or a simple onesie also covers a gap that outfits alone don't, since they get used every day.
Epic's sizes run from newborn up to 4 years, so picking a size a few months past the due date gives the baby space to grow into it instead of outgrowing it right away.
