Bamboo
is perfect for babies delicate skin because it is naturally
hypo-allergenic, and anti-bacterial, preventing odor, allergies and
skin irritations. In addition, Bamboo is thermal regulating, which is
important since babies have a hard time regulating body
temperature when first born. It will keep baby warmer than cotton in
cool weather and two to three degrees cooler than cotton in hot
weather. Bamboo also wicks moisture away and has double the absorbency
of cotton,
Because Bamboo is a grass that grows like a weed,
it is
the fastest growing plant on the planet today. It can grow up to three
feet in one day! This means Bamboo is the alternative to wide spread
clear cutting of the forests, and the most sustainable textile material
available on the market. It doesn't need help from pesticides or
insecticides and usually grows on rain water alone
And as far as how it looks... Bamboo looks like
expensive Pima or Egyptian cotton and drapes like
silk. It has less shrinkage than cotton and does not pill.
It has been described as feeling like pure cashmere.
