Muslin is a soft cloth for when your little one is sick or a little messy lol.
its in theory a bib that does not go around the neck.
great for placing over your shoulder when breastfeeding and then if it comes back up its over the muslin not you

They just appear to be handy for everything baby related. Therefore, you get through a few each day so need a stash so you always have a clean one to hand.
My DD never had a dummy, but took her 'uslin' to bed every night till she was 3 just for comfort. It was so cute!
