Uses natural fibers

Natural fibers like cotton and wool still dominate the children’s clothing market. Unlike polyester, cotton is much gentler on babies’ sensitive skin and breathable, aiding in natural body temperature regulation.

Favors organic cotton

I always look for labels like 100% cotton or organic cotton and certifications like GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) and OEKO-TEX standard 100 certification. GOTS certification is truly a golden standard, ensuring the product is organic, eco-friendly, and ethically produced.

Avoids polyester blends

Today’s fashion market is flooded by fabrics made out of polyester or polyester blends. Polyester fibers lack true circularity due to challenges in material quality degradation and limited recycling cycles. Polyester sheds microplastic into our ecosystem.

Uses snug sleepwear

Loose-style pajamas can be made out of flame-retardant fabrics. The loophole in the Flammable Fabrics Act says that pajamas for children do not need to be made using flame-retardant fabrics if they are snug fitting. Snug, stretchy pajamas do not allow for a significant amount of air to be trapped between the baby’s skin and the garment, lowering the risk of rapid burn.

Supports second-hand use

A more sustainable choice for our planet (and our bodies) is either using second-hand clothes or buying clothes made with eco-friendly, natural fibers. The most sustainable and cost-friendly option is to use second-hand clothes.
