Is Cashmere Safe for Babies?

When you're learning to care for a small newborn, you'll find that there are a hundred different things to worry about every day. You know you need to keep them warm, dry, and happy, but what does that mean when it comes to grooming them in bed and dressing them for going out? New parents often ask us, "Is wool safe for babies?" - the short answer is yes, but why not read on to learn more?

Possibly due to childhood memories of cheap, scratchy wool jumpers, cashmere is often thought to irritate babies' skin or make them itchy. Not so with cashmere baby clothes and cashmere baby blankets. Cashmere fibers have a silky-smooth outer layer that creates a fine, soft feel for exceptional comfort. These natural properties make cashmere skin-friendly, even for children with eczema or other skin conditions.

Until around 18 months, babies find it difficult to regulate their own body temperature. This is due to the size of their skin surface area compared to their body weight. Young children, especially those who are sick or premature, can lose heat quickly if they are not swaddled. In fact, they need to be kept a little warmer than the average adult.

Parents often worry that cashmere clothes or blankets will make their babies hot and humid, however cashmere newborn clothes or blankets can help babies maintain a comfortable temperature due to their ability to regulate body temperature. Wool fibers absorb moisture from sweat and release it into the surrounding environment.

This means the skin stays dry. In cooler weather, fleece baby clothing traps warm air close to the skin, creating the perfect microclimate. This way, in cashmere baby clothes, your baby will stay cool when it's warm and warm when it's not.

Babies, especially newborns, lose a lot of heat through the crown of their heads. Choose a cashmere baby hat to trap the warm air and ensure they stay snug.

With its skin-friendly and temperature-regulating properties, babies have been proven to sleep better on wool. Medical research supports the finding that babies who sleep on wool settle faster, cry less, and, possibly because of this, eat better and gain weight faster. A baby wrapped in a fleece blanket can even give you a few extra hours of sleep. Or, if you prefer, a fleece baby sleeping bag is great for babies who are a little older or not used to being snuggled up tightly.

In the fleece blanket, babies will be able to get a comfortable temperature, giving them peace of mind for longer.

How to dress your baby for the night can cause a lot of confusion. According to the temperature guidelines for children, if your little one's temperature is below 18℃/64℉, they will need two layers of sleeping bags under a standard weight baby sleeping bag. If their temperature is above 18℃/64℉, one layer may be sufficient, transitioning from long-sleeved baby clothing to short-sleeved as the temperature rises. Above around 27℃/81℉, your baby will only need a diaper in a sleeping bag or blanket.

Always feel your baby on the back of the neck and on the tummy to determine if they are too hot, and remember that different children respond to heat in different ways and may prefer cool or hot sensations accordingly.

Regulating the right temperature while out exploring can be another challenge. Fleece baby clothes can help your baby sit comfortably in a stroller or snuggle with you in a carrier, helping them regulate their temperature so they don't get too hot or too cold.

Well, the answer to "Is wool safe for babies?" is a resounding "yes." The next time you're looking for cozy bedding and cozy daywear, consider wool clothing or blankets for toddlers and babies.
