Baby Clothes - Cotton Fabric Is A Great Choice By Anne Francis
One of the most important considerations when
selecting baby clothes is the fabric. While we all want to
dress our babies in clothes that are cute, stylish and fit well, we
sometimes overlook the most basic element -- how will these feel against my
baby’s skin.
This is where cotton really shines. First, cotton is soft.
Of course, like
anything, there are many different kinds of cotton and many different
grades. When buying baby clothes made with cotton, it is good to consider
the type of cotton. 100% combed cotton is one of the particularly softer
varieties, for example.
Second, cotton breaths. Babies, especially infants, need to be kept warm,
but they also need clothes with good ventilation. Synthetic fabrics can
often times accomplish keeping a baby warm, but since they do not breath,
babies can perspire. Cotton is a breathable fabric and therefore keeps
babies comfortable while keeping them warm.
Third, cotton is absorbent. In fact, cotton can absorb up to one fifth of
its own weight before it begins to feel damp to your baby.
Fourth, cotton does not generate static electricity. The ends of cotton
fibers are wound very tightly which helps prevent the build up of static
electricity. We all know what it feels like to get a static shock. Imagine
how this feels to a little baby. Cotton helps prevent static shock compared
to synthetic fabrics.
Fifth, cotton is a hypoallergenic fabric. If your baby has asthma, cotton
can be a good choice.
Finally, cotton is a natural fabric. Unlike synthetic fabrics, cotton is
biodegradable and a renewable resource. So in addition to your baby feeling
good wearing cotton fabrics, you can feel good about buying them.
