        abstract = {The growing need for eco-friendly and useful textiles have led to lots of research on sustainable finishes for baby products. This paper investigates the creating and applying scented and mosquito-repelling finishes to eco-printed baby swaddle blankets. By combining natural mosquito repellents with the look of eco- printing, this new idea aims to make baby textiles safer, more useful, and better for the environment. Their practical benefits, the natural look of eco-prints also adds emotional and sensory value for babies and parents. Eco-printing is a sustainable method using plant-based materials to create natural designs and colors, avoiding harmful synthetic chemicals. the eco-friendly product in this study is a new solution that combines traditional plant knowledge with modern textile methods. it provides a safe, eco-friendly choice for baby items, supports zero-waste practices, and encourages using local plants. This approach offers two advantages: better appearance and protection. This study wants to create a skin- friendly, biodegradable, and effective baby textile that looks good and repels mosquitoes. It will also explore printing methods using natural dye.},
