when yo shop for flannels
they will all say not for childrens sleep wear...because they do not have the fire retardant added that is required on fabrics used to make jammies.... that has no bearing on good flannel for baby blankets.
the fabrics with the fire retardant added only lasts few a certain number of washes anyway, then it looses it's properties. so don't try to limit your choices trying to find fabrics not intended for quilts anyway.
