Our collection brings together two nursery favourites that complement one another perfectly. Baby doudous combine a soft cotton comforter with an integrated 100% natural rubber teether, while our muslin cloths are crafted from OEKO-TEX® certified cotton, offering softness, breathability and versatility from the very first day.
Designed with natural materials and inspired by fruits, vegetables and nature, every piece reflects Oli&Carol's commitment to creating products that care for babies while encouraging a more conscious way of growing up.
Whether you're looking for a baby's first comforter, an everyday muslin cloth or a thoughtful newborn gift, discover a collection created to accompany families through every stage of early childhood with comfort, quality and timeless design.
Baby doudous: comforters designed to soothe, cuddle and support teething
A doudou often becomes one of the first objects babies recognise and enjoy keeping close. It accompanies bedtime routines, quiet moments, stroller walks and many of the small rituals that help babies feel comfortable and secure during their first months.
Rather than creating a traditional comforter, Oli&Carol designed a product that evolves alongside babies. Every doudou combines a soft cotton cloth with an integrated natural rubber teether, allowing little ones to cuddle, grasp, chew and explore different textures using a single everyday companion.
This combination makes the doudou useful well beyond comforting moments. As babies naturally begin exploring the world with their mouths, the natural rubber teether offers a safe, flexible surface to massage sore gums while encouraging sensory discovery through touch and texture.
Natural rubber meets soft cotton in one thoughtfully designed comforter
The integrated teether is made from 100% natural rubber sourced from Hevea trees, while the attached comfort cloth is crafted from soft cotton that feels gentle against delicate skin.
Together, these natural materials create a product designed around how babies actually interact with their environment. They cuddle, squeeze, chew, pull and explore. Instead of separating comfort from teething, the doudou brings both experiences together in one beautifully designed everyday essential.
Each character is inspired by fruits and vegetables, reinforcing Oli&Carol's philosophy of introducing nature and healthy habits from the very beginning through playful, recognisable shapes.
Mini Doudou or Big Doudou: choosing the right size
Both versions share exactly the same philosophy, materials and integrated natural rubber teether. The difference lies in the size of the cotton comfort cloth and how families choose to use it throughout the day.
Mini Doudou
Compact, lightweight and easy for little hands to hold, the Mini Doudou is ideal for everyday adventures. It fits easily into changing bags, accompanies stroller walks and quickly becomes a familiar comfort object wherever babies go.
Big Doudou
The Big Doudou features a generous 52 cm cotton cloth, offering an even softer and more enveloping cuddle experience. It's perfect for quiet moments at home, bedtime routines and comforting cuddles while keeping the natural rubber teether close whenever needed.
Muslin cloths: one of the most versatile newborn essentials
Few baby products are used as frequently as a muslin cloth. During the first months alone, parents often reach for one several times a day, making it one of the most practical essentials in any nursery.
Whether used during feeding, burping, cuddles, naps, stroller walks or simply as a lightweight layer of comfort, a muslin cloth adapts naturally to everyday family life. Its versatility is exactly why it remains a staple long after the newborn stage.
Our muslin cloths are made from OEKO-TEX® certified cotton, selected for its softness, breathability and comfort against babies' delicate skin. The fabric becomes even softer wash after wash, making it an everyday favourite that grows with your child.
Why OEKO-TEX® certified cotton matters
When a fabric spends so much time in contact with a baby's skin, choosing high-quality materials becomes essential. That's why our muslin cloths are made from cotton certified according to the OEKO-TEX® Standard, offering families extra confidence when selecting everyday baby essentials.
Soft, breathable and lightweight, cotton muslin helps create a comfortable environment throughout the year while maintaining the natural feel parents look for in products used every single day.
Natural materials chosen for daily contact with delicate skin
Products used during the first months are often in constant contact with a baby’s skin, hands and mouth. That is why materials matter. In this collection, every detail has been selected to offer comfort, softness and a more natural everyday experience.
The doudous combine soft cotton fabric with a teether made from 100% natural rubber sourced from Hevea trees. The muslin cloths are made from OEKO-TEX® certified cotton, a breathable fabric designed to feel gentle during daily use.
This balance between cotton and natural rubber makes the collection especially practical for families looking for baby essentials that are soft, useful and thoughtfully made.
Designed for comfort, teething and sensory discovery
Babies explore the world through touch, movement and their mouths. A soft cloth to hold, a familiar texture to cuddle and a natural rubber teether to chew can all become part of that early discovery process.
The doudous are designed to support different moments of the day: quiet time, cuddles, walks, travel and teething. The fabric offers softness, while the fruit or vegetable-shaped teether adds texture, shape and a playful connection to nature.
By combining comfort and teething support in one product, each doudou becomes more than a simple baby comforter. It is a soft companion designed to grow with the baby through their first routines and discoveries.
Easy-to-use essentials for real family life
The best baby products are the ones families naturally reach for again and again. A muslin cloth can be used during feeding, after burping, inside the stroller, during travel, at nap time or as a lightweight layer when extra softness is needed.
A doudou can become part of a baby’s daily rhythm, accompanying moments of calm, play and comfort. The Mini Doudou is especially practical for life on the go, while the Big Doudou offers a larger cloth for more enveloping cuddles and quiet moments at home.
Both product families are designed to be beautiful, practical and easy to include in everyday routines, from the nursery to the changing bag.
A thoughtful newborn gift parents will actually use
Finding a baby gift that feels special but is also genuinely useful can be difficult. This collection brings together pieces that are both beautiful and practical, making them ideal for newborn gifts, baby showers and gifts for new parents.
A doudou with a natural rubber teether is a sweet choice for families preparing for teething and comfort routines. A cotton muslin cloth is one of those everyday essentials that quickly becomes indispensable during the first months.
Whether chosen as a single piece or combined with other Oli&Carol baby essentials, these products make meaningful gifts designed to be used, loved and kept close.
