As Christian parents, children and family are very important to us. We want to protect our little ones both outside the home and inside with healthy food, hypoallergenic shampoo and baby-friendly soap, but it's easy to forget about their clothes too. With all of the news and blog articles about what is healthy, what isn't, what's environment friendly or "green" and what's not, sometimes we become skeptical.
Whether you're looking to be eco-friendly, you want to make sure not to expose your kids to unnecessary chemicals, or you just want to give your babies or children the softest clothes possible, bamboo kids clothes are the way to go! Bamboo kids clothes and eco-friendly and organic kids clothes are becoming the "in" trend right now, with a lot of celebrities looking to dress their little fashionista kids in clothes that are anti-allergenic, organic, and extremely good for the environment.
Bamboo is Smooth as a Baby's Skin
As a fabric, bamboo probably doesn't strike you as a soft material for clothes, especially for kids clothes. When treated with natural compounds, one of the fibers in the bamboo plant becomes viscose, a natural and extremely soft material. If you've ever tried sleeping on bamboo sheets or bedding, you probably already have an idea how soft they are. This combination of natural bamboo fibers can go into making baby blankets, swaddles, hats and bonnets, or even shirts, dresses and leggings. There is nothing more comfortable and soft for your baby than swaddling him or her in bamboo wraps and blankets. The scratchiness that is sometimes found in non-organic cotton clothes is nowhere to be found in bamboo clothing.
When we think of babies and how to dress and care for them, we think of soft materials whenever possible, and the fact is that bamboo is the ideal material for baby clothes because it is the softest material available. You don't even need to use fabric softener, another chemical with toxins in it, because the bamboo is already soft and chemical-free.
Bamboo material also breathes easier while still keeping your little ones warm. Kids are active creatures, and bamboo clothing will keep them cool in the summer months, warm in the winter months, and keep them comfortable. Bamboo clothes with viscose material also tend to last for years. It's not uncommon to see bamboo kids clothes still looking brand new, even after being passed down as hand-me-downs to one or even two little brothers or sisters!
Bamboo Clothes are Non-Allergenic
Babies and young children are prone to allergens and toxins as their immune systems and livers are still very new and still developing, which is why so many products are made for babies and kids that are allergen-free and non-toxic. Babies, toddlers, and even kids tend to chew and suck on just about anything they find, including their clothes and blankets, and nibbling on organically made bamboo material couldn't be safer. Still, you'll want to make sure you're using safe laundry detergent. Otherwise, it won't make a difference as your bamboo kids clothes will come out of the washing machine with chemicals that may be toxic or allergenic.
Bamboo clothes are also naturally antifungal, antibacterial, and odor, mildew, and mold resistant, and are great for kids who tend to have sensitive skin or are prone to rashes or skin eczema.
Bamboo Clothes are Super Trendy
Celebrities have always been quick to be eco-friendly, and dressing their kids in the trendiest ways possible, so clothes made with bamboo for their little ones was inevitable. Movie stars, athletes, and fashion editors alike are going crazy buying and styling bamboo kids clothes for their mini-me equivalents.
Well-made clothes are always in style, and nothing is more comfortable and stands up to wear and tear better than, you guessed it, bamboo clothing. One of the great things about shopping for bamboo kids clothes is that, since they are so trendy right now, they are all very chic for your little ones too. A lot of bamboo kids clothes retailers are very current on the current styles right now, with one retailer having a "Coachella" bamboo kids clothing look, and others having retro 90's looks that are all laid out for you, so all you have to do is mix and match, and it's like a stylist picked out the clothes for your kids!
Bamboo is Also Environmentally-Friendly
Bamboo is the most sustainable clothing fabric in the world. Bamboo shoots (no pun intended) up so quickly, that after harvest, the bamboo has regrown just a few weeks later, making it extremely
renewable. Plus, the bamboo plants are trimmed for their fibers and left to grow naturally, meaning that an entirely new crop doesn't need to be planted. Bamboo is much less vulnerable to pests and can be grown without pesticides, fungicides, and synthetic fertilizers. Compared to non-organic cotton, or even organic cotton, bamboo is exponentially more sustainable, renewable, and environmentally friendly. When your clothes made with bamboo viscose are (finally) thrown out, they don't release dyes or bleaches into the environment.
In a world where eco-friendliness is becoming ever more important, bamboo takes little to no chemicals or fertilizers, either during the farming, harvesting, manufacturing, or disposing process, leaving a much greener world for our children to inherit as they grow.
