Buying guide
A good muslin gift bundle for a fast-growing baby mixes pieces instead of one outfit: a romper or set for daytime, soft pajamas for sleep, and a muslin towel for bath time. Because muslin softens with every wash and sizes run newborn to 4 years, parents can size up a notch and still get full use from each piece.

Babies change size fast, and it's tempting to buy one perfect outfit that fits for a month and then sits in a drawer. A small bundle of muslin pieces, picked across daytime, sleep and bath, gets more wear out of a single gift. We pick the clothes we send out, we don't make them ourselves, so this list sticks to what actually holds up wash after wash.
A one-piece for daytime play, easy to size up and still breathable on warm days
A simple base layer that works alone in warm weather or under a set
Two pieces instead of one, so sizing up the bottoms doesn't mean losing the whole outfit
A soft sleep piece that stays comfortable wash after wash, good for the overnight stretch
Rounds out the bundle with a bath piece that doesn't need its own size guess
Three works well: one daytime piece (romper, onesie or set), one sleep piece (pajamas), and a towel for bath time. That spread covers most of a baby's day without buying five of the same thing.
Go with the current size or one size up. Muslin's open weave softens and relaxes with each wash, so a slightly bigger piece still feels comfortable rather than stiff.
