Dressing for Milestones: Clothes That Support Crawling, Walking, and Climbing.

Every milestone in a baby’s journey is a celebration – from the first wiggle on the floor to those tiny wobbly first steps and fearless climbs onto the sofa. While these moments bring joy (a little chaos for parents!), they also call for thoughtful dressing. Clothes during these stages aren’t just about looking adorable – they need to support comfort, safety, and freedom of movement. And one fabric that checks all these boxes is Muslin.

Why Muslin?

-        Lightweight - Muslin is one of the world's most cherished cotton fabrics for it is lightweight, breathable, and gentle on skin.

-        Flexible - Muslin fabric is flexible, allowing easy stretching and bending.

-       Durable - Also, it is highly durable, and with each wash, it becomes softer and gentler for the delicate baby skin.

-       Eco-friendly – Made from pure natural cotton fibers.

At Cosy Colors, we offer a wide range of muslin apparel for newborns to toddlers, which is comfortable and easy to wear. Let’s explore how to dress your little one through their developmental milestone adventures with the right choice in muslin clothing.

Dressing for newborn (Birth to 3 months): One of the most precious moments in a mother’s life, but also equally overwhelming. Everything is a completely new experience for the little one and their mum. In this stage, a mother needs fuss-free clothing that is easy to wear and allows quick nappy changing in between the feeds.

Muslin pick

A lightweight muslin vest that is either sleeveless or with knots is ideal. A sleeveless vest (Jhabla) opens completely, allowing quick change of clothes; similarly, vests with knots (Top button vests/Jhabla) are perfect for those tummy time moments

Dressing for infant stage (3-6 months): At this age, babies are learning head control, rolling over, and tummy time is more often. So are the giggles! Some of the babies also start attempting to reach and grasp objects. Their clothes should be soft, flexible, and safe for all the wiggling and exploring. 

Muslin Pick: Muslin Kimono Rompers for perfect daytime play, especially since the snap buttons make nappy change easy. So are the muslin jhabla with soft elastic waistbands (shorts), allowing unrestricted leg movement.

Muslin Kimono rompers are here to slay, not only do they look stylish, but also open up completely, making it easy for mums to clothe babies amongst all the wiggling and exploring.

Dressing for crawling (6-12 months): At around 6 months, babies start to sit up without support and begin exploring. They gradually start to reach out for objects by crawling first commando style, followed by a full-fledged crawling on all fours. They also learn to pull themselves up to standing position with support and may even take a couple of steps.

It is important that their clothes are snug but not tight – to avoid the fabric getting caught. Avoid stiff embellishments or scratchy tags, which may irritate babies’ skin.

Muslin Pick:  A muslin jumpsuit or shirt and pants with soft elastic waistbands) They are ideal for protecting the sensitive knee skin, especially when all they wish to do is crawl. Kimono rompers are perfect for daytime play or evening strolls, too.

Dressing for walking and climbing (12 months and above): As the babies take their first steps, balance and comfort become key.  For the world is their oyster, and curiosity the motivation, the little explorers prefer free leg movement. Soft, lightweight, and comfortable clothing is important so that the toddlers don’t feel restricted.

Muslin Pick: Airy muslin dresses, muslin lounge sets are perfect. Not only do they look stylish, but they are super comfortable.

Tips for Parents:

-        Think Seasonally – Muslin’s breathability makes it ideal for warm months, but it also layers well in winter and is highly suitable for humid monsoons.

-        Prioritize comfort over frills – Fancy trims may look cute, but can cause skin irritation and restrict natural movement.

-        Size up wisely – Babies grow too fast; always refer to the size chart when buying clothes. Clothes shouldn’t be too tight or overly loose.
