In addition, it comes with a removable cover, fitted sheet and liner for easy cleaning.

Bimbi Baby Wrap Twin Pack
Muslin wraps are essential to keep your baby warm and provide them with comfort as they sleep.

The Bimbi Baby Wrap Twin Pack from Canningvale is made with 100% super soft, breathable cotton, and it’s amazingly lightweight. In addition, every purchase of a twin pack comes with two beautiful, neutral-coloured wraps for a cute and classic look. Infants tend to startle easily so swaddling them in these baby muslin wraps will give them a sense of security.
