Default question about baby quilts

Hey all,
I am needing to make a baby quilt for a shower that is going to be held sometime in January or February. Having never made a baby quilt before I'm hoping to get some guidance.

What sort of batting is suitable for baby quilts? I usually use Warm and Natural cotton or a fusible fleece for my art quilts, but the W and N gets stiff if quilted close together, and the fusible fleece doesn't drape very well.

The other battings I've used are the green one that's made from recycled plastic bottles--it's very nice, soft, lofty etc. and I really liked using it in the quilt that I made for my oldest granddaughter who is in college. I've also got some Hobbs washable wool, but was thinking that wool might be a no no for a baby quilt.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,
Rob
