Eco-Friendly Bamboo for Your Baby

By: Audra Jensen
 

What is as soft as silk, yet hard as oak? Can there really be a fabric that has both of these qualities? In researching and using bamboo baby products they are that and so much more.

There are many powerful factors to indicate the use of bamboo for our clothes and home. What are some of the qualities of bamboo that's making it a great material to be using today, especially for your child? Growing as much as 18 inches a day, bamboo can be harvested within three years. Bamboo's all-natural qualities make this fiber perfect for the environmentally concerned consumers.

I thought bamboo was a tree and eaten by panda bears; however, I found out it is a grass which is used for fabrics and wood. Linen, hemp and burlap are plant based fabrics used for clothing, only they are coarser than bamboo.

Bamboo includes over 1000 species of woody, perennial grasses and is native to every continent except Europe and the poles. Bamboo helps to reduce water pollution due to its high nitrogen consumption.

Bamboo has many natural qualities that make it a great material to use for your child. The softness of silk and cashmere in one fabric makes a great combination. Caring for bamboo clothing is easy for the consumer and the environment as it requires no bleach or fabric softener. "Bamboo kun" is a natural substance the plant contains to help fight off diseases and insects which it retains during processing and repeated washings. After washing baby clothes, many times there are retained odors and with the use of bamboo clothing with the natural antibacterial factor, there are no odors.

Are you looking for something different, unique and eco-friendly? Clothing, towels and soft, cozy baby blankets are just some of the items made from bamboo with the built in protection provided. Comfort, warmth and the softest fabric against a baby's tender skin are just some of the qualities of bamboo that you can pass on to your baby. Bamboo fabric has additional benefits such as being hypoallergenic, bacteriostatic, thermal regulating and odor free.

Wrap your baby with love in the comfort and softness of bamboo fabric.
