Bamboo for baby

With the popularity of Bamboo Baby products on the rise, we thought we’d shine a light on some of our favourites.

Bamboo Wraps:

Organic viscose bamboo baby wraps are lightweight and breathable and wick moisture away from your body making it the ideal wrap for hot weather.

The ergonomic design distributes weight evenly across your shoulders allowing you to comfortably wear your baby for extended periods of time. The luxurious bamboo feels soft and gentle on your baby’s skin.

The bamboo baby wraps are fully adjustable and designed to be one size fits most so it can easily be worn by parents and caregivers of different sizes.

They are light, slim, and strong with no extra bulk or bulges.

Bamboo nappies:

Many people are still amazed to hear of bamboo fibre nappies (”Nappies?!….Made of Bamboo?!….”) Yet Bamboo as a fabric source has been growing in popularity of late largely because of its recognised sustainability, and many unique qualities.

It is becoming a favourite fabric of choice for companies wanting to take an ethical standpoint as Bamboo is a highly sustainable resource with a fast growth cycle, and can be grown easily without the use of pesticides and fertilisers. It is also completely bio-degradable.

Reusable Nappy manufacturers quickly realised the multitude of benefits the bamboo fibre has which make it an ideal material for nappy use. Firstly, bamboo has many natural anti-bacterial qualities, and bamboo fibre is able to retain this, even through multiple washings. This is certainly a useful quality when it comes to nappy useage, and it also helps to reduce odour causing bacteria. 

Secondly, bamboo fibres are also naturally smooth and round without chemical treatment, making it perfect for use next to the skin. In addition to this, many people who suffer allergic reactions from natural fibres such as hemp or wool do not report these same issues with bamboo.

Perhaps most importantly, the bamboo plant is highly water absorbent, and in textile form these absorbent properties are retained. Bamboo is approximately 60% more absorbent than cotton, and can hold up to 3 times its weight in water. This makes bamboo nappies highly functional, and especially perfect for night time use, older infants or heavy-wetters.

Bamboo Socks

Bamboo baby socks are perfect for those little sensitive feet that never stop wriggling. These super soft bamboo socks will offer all the beneficial properties of bamboo, while offering great designs. Most bamboo products on offer these days are totally bland in design, but these funky patterns will keep little toes warm while looking totally trendy. See more at 100bamboo.com

Consider Bamboo

Because Bamboo fabrics are naturally anti-microbial and anti-fungal, they tend to repel damp rather than harbour it. This prevents a musty smell developing.
