    Red face what exactly is a bunny rug?

    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?

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

    ...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.

    . The terminology is also very confusing. Whats wrong with saying "blanket".
