Why they wake at 2am and you cannot work out why
Here is what dressing a baby is really like in this part of the world. You step outside into 45 degrees, spend ninety seconds getting to the car, then sit in air conditioning set to 20. Then a Dubai mall. Then home, where the AC runs all night from May through October. My two did that three or four times a day, and every one of those swings was a chance for them to get too warm, then too cool, then wake up unsettled at 2am while I stood there trying to work out what I had missed.
Bamboo lyocell is what finally settled it, and I did not expect the difference to be so obvious. It moves moisture away from the skin, so a baby who warmed up in the car does not stay damp in a cold room. That single property is why bamboo baby pajamas and sleepsuits have such a following among parents here.
The fibre is also unusually smooth, which mattered enormously when Maya had eczema patches I spent months trying to calm. Everything we make is OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified, meaning every thread, dye and fastening has been tested for harmful substances. When you are dressing a two week old, you should not have to take that on trust.
Organic cotton has its place too. We use it on the pants and shorts, where a bit of structure holds a waistband and a knee far better than a soft drape ever will. Right fabric, right job.
