Baby Pajamas and Safe Sleep
You’ve probably not given it too much thought, but there’s a reason why baby pajamas follow similar designs, and that is for your baby’s safety! The main feature of baby pajamas, sleepsuits or rompers is that they should be snug fitting. That’s because it reduces the risk of suffocation by preventing loose fabric from covering the baby's face during sleep. Loose fitting pajamas or blankets can accidentally shift, covering the baby's nose or mouth, which can be dangerous. It also minimises the risk of accidents, such as clothing catching fire, if it’s close to your child’s body.
Snug fitting pajamas help regulate the baby's body temperature by trapping body heat close to the skin. Especially with our Hushabye sleepsuits that are made with 95% bamboo rayon, not only is the fabric super soft, bamboo is a very breathable material that helps wick away moisture and prevent your baby from overheating. Not only does it feel cooler than normal cotton in warmer weather, but on the other hand has insulating properties which can keep your baby warmer in colder weather by trapping heat close to their body. The breathable natural fibers provide comfort in any type of climate which means it can help your child better adapt to warmer or cooler nights. Learn more about the benefits of bamboo fabric here!
As you want to provide a secure and comfortable sleep environment for your baby, having baby pajamas that are easy to get on or off will be helpful to make bedtime a bit more of a breeze. Our Hushabye sleepsuits come with a 2-way zipper meaning you can unzip from the bottom to do diaper changes without needing to remove their outfit. There’s even a cover at the neck and a fabric cover along the body to stop the zipper from rubbing against your baby’s skin.
Our Hushabye sleepsuits also have foldable footies and mittens to adjust in line with your baby’s needs and preferences. If they are scratching their face at night, you can fold over the sleeves to create mittens. Or if they are sleeping in a colder environment, you can fold over the feet to create booties. This is also good for newborns who are still working on their temperature regulation.
There are many benefits to using sleepsuits or rompers as your baby’s pajama, but the most important thing is how it promotes a safe sleep environment for your baby.
