These super-soft crib blankets make fabulous baby shower gifts. They may look plain but are so soft and cuddly that most moms wish they were big enough for them too! Babies love their softness and many a mom says that their restless baby is soothed to sleep when cuddled up in one. They are actually 80% bamboo fibre and 20% cotton giving a really silky soft finish. The great thing about bamboo is that it is hypoallergenic and non-irritating to sensitive baby skin. It’s also warmer than cotton but has a natural thermo regulating effect so that babies don’t overheat either. But it’s the softness of these blankets that wins them so many fans, even more than all the green qualities of the bamboo fiber, and that is what makes them such a great gift for a new baby.

Bamboo fiber is the latest green alternative to cotton and beats it hands down for softness and wear-ability. This cute baby set makes a wonderful baby shower gift and moms-to-be will love the softness and quality of the fabric. It’s reassuring to know that bamboo fiber is naturally hypoallergenic and much warmer than cotton, but at the same time regulates heat much better, so that baby won’t overheat when snuggled up in the gorgeous cuddly hooded blanket, even on warmer days. Plus the almost total UV protection offered by bamboo fabric makes the hat perfect for protecting summer babies from too much sunshine. If the new mom is eco-conscious she’ll love the fact that bamboo is a sustainable crop with minimal impact on the environment, so your gift will earn you tons of eco-brownie points!

Bamboo is also naturally breathable, antibacterial and cool. Bamboo is an eco-friendly fibre because it is a renewable resource with a very short growth cycle and it is grown without fertilizers or pesticides. In short it is an excellent environmental choice for diapers! This item can be bought for $22.28 from Bummis through Amazon.com

“Why bamboo?” I hear you ask. Well, the fact is that bamboo has many desirable properties when it comes to using it to produce clothing. For a start, it’s very breathable to keep baby comfy, and is 3-4 times more absorbent than cotton. There are many other advantages which I’m sure you can “google”.

These long sleeved items may shrink a little during washing, but you need only dampen it slightly and stretch it back into its original size.

Just make sure baby’s not wearing it when you do this !
