That warning is for sleepwear, not quilts, as sleepwear would be directly next to the child's skin. It should be fine.

You made a quilt not sleep wear. Give the quilt that you lovingly made. Bless the child and the mother with your gift.

Go for the regular cotton fabric with confidence and wash it before gifting. :thumbup:

I totally agree. Besides, many pediatricians are advising parents to put babies to bed with no covers. They're supposed to use sleep-sacks that can't come up over the child's face. Quilts these days are intended as play mats under babies when they are down on the floor and closely supervised. If it worries you, tell the parents that it's for playtime - not bed. Also, there is some question of how sleepwear is defined. I'm pretty sure there are store bought 100% cotton sheets and quilts that do not fall under this warning. "Sleepwear" means clothing that is worn for sleeping.

Here is some specific information from the Consumer Products Safety Commission: https://www.cpsc.gov/PageFiles/98883...msleepwear.pdf
