Are linen muslin squares a waste of money?

[TheNightWatch]

The ones I've seen are about £35 for three! They are almost sheet size. They were nicely packaged and are going to be a present. Will th ey be of any use though?

I reared dc without muslin cloths. I thought muslin cloths were to be used with eve lom hot cloth cleanser . What are they used for with babies?

My ds was one of those babies that puked spilled a lot ... Actually looking back possibly a little reflux-y, (his dad had sever reflux and failure to thrive as a baby, not sure it s hereditary but mIL told me recently ds was v similar ) we tested all brands of Muslim squares - never went anywhere whiteout a few . M and S do lovely soft ones that held up best in the wash. Mothercare ones were rougher especially after a many washes. Ikea do nice patterned but v big ones.
I found it v useful to double one over and use on top of sheet in pram / Moses basket - saved changing sheets all the time .... Oh and once or twice they doubled as a nappy when we were caught out n about most of all though they did save to protect my clothes I wre one on either of my shoulders almost permanently for 6 months !
Now the kids are bigger they make wonderful wash cloths, I ve kept a few m and s one s that are wondrful at shining glassware and cutlery < erm that was
Once for Christmas dinner >
Oh and face towels with eve lom cleanser or hot oil facials
