One of the main benefits of cotton clothing is the softness of the fabric. With a babies newborn skin it is delicate and anything harsh will irritate and rub their new skin. Cotton is a super soft natural fabric that allows for well air circulation, which helps absorb and remove body moisture, drawing heat away from the skin and keeping the body dry and cool providing a Cotton-for-Babiesperfect sleeping environment for baby. Also, because cotton clothing "breathes" better, it is the best choice to keep your baby cool in humid, hot weather. The ends of cotton fibers are spun very tightly into the yarn so that the fabric does not irritate the skin or cause static electricity making it very comfortable to be swaddled, dressed or diapered for babies.
