Bamboo is in

When you think of bamboo your immediate thought is of a tall green plants and pandas. Me too, that is until I had a baby.  

The moso bamboo plant creates the most beautifully soft material which clever companies catering for the baby industry have started to make use of.  Products include cashmere soft blankets at a quarter of the price, absorbent, soft and slim-line nappies and beautiful baby clothes to name but a few.  

The advantages of using bamboo in baby clothes include it being:
  • Soft;
  • Eco-friendly;
  • Absorbent;
  • Breathable;
  • Thermo-regulating;
  • Hypoallergenic; and
  • Cheaper and as soft as cashmere

If you are a fan, like me, of bamboo can I point you in the direction of three websites:
  • For simply the most gorgeously soft baby clothes on the planet please see the lovely spring/summer collection at Bamboo baBy
  • If you want to ensure your child enjoys silky cashmere soft blankets check out this great blanket available at Nigel Store which makes the most fabulous baby shower gift
