When thinking of the things a brand new babe needs, one word comes to mind: cozy. Regardless of the item Moms and Dads choose to use, it must bring a sense of peace and comfort to baby to ensure that they get enough rest to grow and develop. When we think of cozy, one brand in particular comes to mind: Angel Dear. We are so excited to share with you all of the new arrivals in this collection that are ready to keep your itty bitty cozy all day and all night.

Angel Dear's hooded towels and washcloths are the perfect way to keep your prince or princess warm and cozy after bath time. The breathable muslin cotton material  features a terry cloth hood and is gentle enough to bathe your newborn. Pre-washed for extra softness, these are necessities for your bath time routine.

When feeding time rolls around, turn to Angel Dear's plush burp cloths. Also crafted from 100% muslin, these make your post-meal routine easier and cozier than ever. 

Did somebody say rest? Angel Dear swaddle blankets, also created from 100% muslin cotton, create a warm, yet breathable environment to keep baby swaddled and encourage a peaceful slumber. By now most moms and mommies-to-be are familiar with the swaddling practice, so choosing the perfect blankets to keep baby comfortable becomes even more of a necessity. More rest for baby means more rest for Mom, so everyone wins!
