Benefits of Buying Organic Wool Baby Bodysuits

Natural, soft and appealing, this is what wool feels and looks like. Being one of the oldest fabrics used, wool still is a popular choice when it comes to clothing. In other words, wool is simply magic which makes it the perfect choice for baby clothing as well.

Whether talking about newborns or infants, organic wools should be the first choice, especially when it comes to base layers such as bodysuits. Being the first layer of clothing on the skin, the bodysuit should be made of high-quality fabric that won’t irritate babies’ skin. And truth be told, the benefits of using organic wool can go way beyond its softness.

Free of Chemicals and Pesticides

The most important benefit of investing in organic baby bodysuits made of wool is their purity. As the name implies, organic baby bodysuits made of wool are produced without chemicals and pesticides that can be extremely harmful to the babies’ skin. When using baby clothes made of synthetic wool, a lot of skin irritations and allergies can appear because this wool is treated with chemicals. By investing in organic baby onesies, rompers and bodysuits, you can have peace of mind that your little one won’t develop eczema or any other skin condition.

Great for Babies with Skin Conditions

A lot of us associate wool with itchiness and scratchiness. However, this isn’t always the case. The wool’s itchiness is closely related to how fine the wool’s strands are. Thus, if the manufacturer is investing in cheap wool with rougher strands, then the clothes would turn rougher and vice versa. By investing in high-quality woollen bodysuits like ones made of Merino or Alpaca, you can be sure that your child won’t develop an allergy to it. In fact, it has been said that it’s almost impossible for humans to be allergic to wool. Instead, it’s the chemicals, dyes and other synthetic things to which one could be allergic.

It Regulates the Body Temperature

Just like some other natural fibres, wool also has temperature-regulating properties, meaning that it’ll keep your baby cool in the warmer time of the year, and warmer during the colder months. Making sure your baby is dressed in thermoregulation clothes is essential until he/she turns 18 months. It’s said that during this time babies find it harder to regulate their body temperature, so it seems that wool is the safest fabric option we have. Being soft, gentle to skin and temperature regulating is all you need to keep your baby safe and sound.

It Promotes Better Sleep

Lots of studies have been made, and lots of them show that wool has a calming effect, especially on babies. This could be a lot beneficial especially for babies who have colic during the first several months. By dressing your baby in a wool bodysuit and clothes in general, you will help him feel better, safer while helping him keep a comfortable temperature that would soothe his tummy.

It’s Self-Cleaning

Thanks to its lanolin (the wool’s fat), wool is considered to have anti-bacterial properties which means that it’s almost impossible to develop a smell or any other kind of odour. But best of all is that wool can clean itself thanks to the lanolin. When wet or moist, lanolin can turn into a lanolin-soap, able to clean the bodysuit or any other baby clothing piece. This can reduce the need of washing it several times per week.

Additionally, wool isn’t an absorbing type of material, so when it comes to staining, wool won’t absorb the stain into it. Instead, the stain (mark) will stay on the top of the material which makes it cleaning extremely easy. Although it’s self-cleaning, you can safely wash it in the washing machine on a 30-degree cycle with a wool wash detergent.

It’s Eco-Friendly

Another benefit from buying woollen baby clothes is their environmental friendliness. Being naturally biodegradable and sustainable, if thrown in the landfill, wool will break down without a problem. And since wool is a natural type of material that comes from sheep, it’s available in abundance, and in fact, no one gets hurt or damaged from having it in abundance.

Now that you know how much you can benefit from having organic woollen bodysuits, it’s time to count how many are enough. Truth be told, there is no right answer to the question ‘How many baby bodysuits do I need ‘since during the first few months babies can be ‘pain in the arse’ when it comes to changing them. Generally speaking, you’ll need 4-6 bodysuits and zip front onesies on hand.
