Let’s Babble! 4 Tips to Choosing Safe Baby Clothes

Your baby’s clothes act like make-shift guardian angels.

That’s why it’s important to select the right brand, size, and material.

Here’s our baby clothing checklist, designed to help you make the safest, most loving decision.

1. Sequins and pearls, a big no-no

Our first pearl of wisdom is to stay away from all those pearls! Or sequins and rhinestones. Decorative embellishments of any kind are a choking risk for your baby. Similarly, clothes with long ties that pull tightly around your baby's arms, legs, or neck, are also unsafe. If you’re keen on a little decoration, make sure it’s sewn on tight. But remember, you can always play around with colour and patterns to amp up the style. For instance, Greendigo organic baby clothes come in beautiful pastel prints.

2. Material matters

One of the best fabrics to buy for your babies is organic cotton. It’s soft, light and breathable. You will also notice that it helps prevent perspiration and skin irritation of any kind. But wait – is it expensive? With Greendigo, it doesn’t have to be! Our clothing is affordable and accessible. Plus, it’s certified by Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS). Now, doesn’t that make you happy? With safety first and style as a plus, Greendigo garments are loving companions for your children.

3. The right scale makes all the difference

Did you know, age isn’t the only determining criteria when it comes to selecting baby apparel? Weight and height are actually much better barometers. That's why it's so important to consult a baby clothes size chart and consider your baby's weight before figuring out the right size to purchase. If not, you run the risk of your baby wearing clothing that is too tight, baggy, or uncomfortable for him or her. Hence, we’d suggest that you look to your child’s body for guidance on picking the safest, comfiest garment.

4. Washable always wins

Now, we’d recommend buying clothes that say "machine washable" on the label. This is to avoid the time, hassle, and stress of hand-washing each garment. Plus, don’t get us started on ironing. Greendigo baby clothes are made from 100% cotton. Which is ideal, since they're comfortable, durable, and wash well. Free up your time by simply throwing them into the machine, and running it on a cold wash-gentle cycle.

Here’s a bonus tip for you, before we end this blog.

Zippers in the front make it easier to dress your baby, while snaps at the crotch make it more convenient to change their diapers!
