The Best Baby and Kids' Clothing for Sensitive Skin
Bamboo/Cotton is the best choice for sensitive skin
Bamboo and cotton are two popular choices of fabric when it comes to buying clothing for babies and children who have sensitive skin or sensory issues. Both materials have unique properties that make them well-suited for children with these types of needs. Our SoothKnit fabric has been refined over the years to bring the best qualities of both materials.
Why is bamboo fabric good for sensitive skin?
Bamboo fabric is derived from the pulp of the bamboo plant and is known for its softness and hypoallergenic properties. It is also highly absorbent, making it great for keeping babies and children dry and comfortable. In addition, bamboo is naturally anti-bacterial and anti-fungal, which can help prevent skin irritation and infections. The natural fibers of bamboo are smooth and round, less likely to irritate skin, making it a great choice for babies and children with eczema or other sensitive skin conditions.
Why is cotton good for sensitive skin?
Cotton is another great choice for children with sensitive skin or sensory issues. It is a natural and breathable fabric that allows for airflow to reach the skin, helping to keep children cool and comfortable. Cotton is also hypoallergenic, making it less likely to cause skin irritation or allergic reactions.
Bamboo/cotton makes a super durable fabric
Another advantage of cotton and bamboo fabrics is that they are easy to care for. They are both machine washable and can be dried in a dryer on a low heat setting. In addition, cotton and bamboo fabrics are highly durable and long-lasting. This is particularly important when it comes to children's clothing, as they can often be quite rough on their clothes due to their active lifestyles. Cotton and bamboo fabrics can withstand the wear and tear of children's activities and frequent washing without losing their shape or softness.
Bamboo/cotton is a sustainable choice
Both bamboo and cotton are also environmentally friendly materials. Bamboo is a highly sustainable crop, as it can grow quickly and doesn't require large amounts of water or pesticides. Cotton is also a relatively sustainable crop, but it's important to look for organic cotton, as conventional cotton often requires a lot of water, pesticides and fertilizers.
Soft, breathable and durable - bamboo/cotton is the best choice for sensitive skin
In conclusion, bamboo and cotton fabrics are both excellent choices for children's clothing due to their softness, hypoallergenic properties, and breathability. They also provide durability and easy care for long-term use. Bamboo and cotton are also environmentally friendly choices. When it comes to choosing the right fabric for your baby or child with sensitive skin or sensory issues, bamboo and cotton are great options to consider. That's why Little & Lively has spent years making sure our bamboo/cotton SoothKnit fabric is the perfect blend of all the best qualities both fabrics have to offer.
