Bamboo is a great resource

It's easy to find a a silky soft sleep solution in Bamboo fabric. It’s a popular material used in areas of the world often affected by earthquakes and hurricanes. Bamboo is somewhat elastic, yet incredibly strong. It’s a great resource that’s good for the planet, and even better for your baby.

Bamboo for your baby

More natural textiles are a cooler option than artificial materials, and bamboo for your baby can be a sleep-sweet solution. Bamboo fibres are:

  • Breathable: Bamboo-based textiles and sleepwear are superbly breathable, thanks to the little gaps that exist between each fibre.
  • Absorbent: Bamboo-based fabrics can absorb up to four times more moisture than your usual cotton blends. Bamboo-based textiles actively pull moisture away from your baby’s skin, keeping them dry and cool. They won’t be waking up sweaty and sticky in the morning.
  • Natural temperature regulators: The little gaps in the bamboo-based fibres help your baby’s body stays cool and ventilated while they’re asleep.
  • Pong-free: The extra ventilation and eco-friendly nature of Bamboo textiles keep your baby feeling and smelling clean.
  • Silky soft: Bamboo-based textiles are some of the softest fabrics on the planet. Consumers often mistake Bamboo-based fabrics for silk, at first. Yes, they’re that soft and sublime!

The softest swaddle

You’ve perfected the art of the swaddle, and finding the softest swaddling solution is now your next trick. To help your baby self-soothe into sleep and settle down by responding to tired signs, swaddling is a must for your bedtime routine. Between the intricate blanket folding method and the time it takes to get it done - you need a softer, quicker solution. That’s why we’ve created the sweetest, softest Swaddle Up™.

Sleep suits saving your sanity

Like all good things, babies grow up; often far too fast for our liking. And, as your little one grows, their sleeping needs change. Moving from swaddling and into a transitional sleep suit can save your sanity - and your child’s sleep.

Choosing the right suit

Every day is a new adventure with your little one. That’s why you need a sleep (and nap!) suit that helps them drift off, day or night. We know how it goes: if you’re one lullaby off, or a car hoots down the street when you’re trying to put your baby to sleep, all bets are off for bedtime. Beyond routine, making sure your bubs is comfortable is key. It’s so important that they get snuggled up in soft comfort. Choosing a Love To Dream Bamboo-based sleep suit is the start, but checking it’s the right one for their room temperature is important too.
