What's the best batting for Baby Quilts
#3
For a small baby, I use the same batting used for table toppers and place mats. The really thin stuff. I have also used 100% cotton terry cloth diaper material, especially in summer. It's light and it breathes well.

I agree, thin cotton batting with good secure stitching. Hand or machine quilted, it needs to hold together through many, many, many machine washes, with no thread loops that could catch in baby's little fingernails. I stopped using puffy poly batting many years ago when I realized it deflates eventually and gets all flat. Just my experience. You may disagree.

One of the things I like is to use fleece for the backing with no batting. Warm, washable and easy to do. I just sewed mine around the edges, right sides together, turned it right side out and top stitched around the edge. Then you can add some quilting which doesn't need to be elaborate.
