what exactly is a bunny rug?

[belle75]

This a such a stupid question! I was just looking at the hospital list of stuff I need to buy and it asks for "6 bunny rugs". I have tentatively bought 3 flannel wraps and a cotton/jersey wrap. Do they qualify?

[~Trish~]

Yep, it's pretty much just a wrap! The hospital ones are usually the thick cotton knit ones with stripes.

Thanks Trish! I feel like such a goose

...I just had my 2nd child and only found out when he was a few days old that the wraps/muslins are called 'bunny rugs'.

If you dont know, you dont know. I dont think your a goose.

LOL don't feel like a goose! No one but the hospitals really call them bunny rugs these days! Time for them to update their lists I think

Hi Belle,

You sound as confused as me. I was looking at my hospital list just the other day and the amount of stuff the hospital expects you to bring is ridiculuous. The terminology is also very confusing. Whats wrong with saying "blanket".
