Baby Wear Wisdom: My Mother’s Day Reflection

Baby wear is more important than we often realize. In my early days as a twin mum, I was so focused on feeding schedules, nappy changes, and decoding cries that I barely thought about what my babies wore — or the materials used in baby clothing. Years later, holding my newborn niece, I realise how crucial those tiny details are, especially for delicate newborn skin. Soft, organic fabrics bring utmost comfort to little ones and make baby wear very comfortable. This Mother’s Day, I’m reflecting on one such lesson I wish I had known earlier: the power of choosing the right fabric for baby clothing.

What Makes a Fabric Baby-Friendly?

Babies have delicate, porous skin, which has 20–30% less thickness compared to adult skin.

This makes them more prone to irritation, rashes, and discomfort, especially if they’re wrapped in synthetic or harsh materials.

Here are some gentle fabrics that are best suited for baby clothing and essentials:

Discovering Cocoon Care: Baby Wear where Softness Meets Sustainability

While browsing for the perfect newborn gift for my niece, I stumbled upon Cocoon Care, a homegrown Indian brand that creates eco-conscious baby essentials using bamboo muslin. Soft, breathable, antibacterial, and toxin-free baby wear—it was everything I wish I had known about back when my twins were born!

The site is easy to access and has a wide variety of prints and solids in its baby wear collection. It caters to kids from newborn to 3 years, whereas some items offer options for 11-year-olds, too. 

Baby Wear I Bought:

1. Bamboo Muslin + Terry Hooded Towel

Sometimes, it is hard to manage babies when they are out of a bath, especially when they are still navigating the early days of life. A bath may not be a fun experience in that phase. Hence, I bought the hooded towel for my niece.

It is a smart blend of soft bamboo muslin and absorbent terry cotton. Just after a bath, this towel is ideal for wrapping up, just like a cozy burrito. It has a cute little hood too. It is one of the best investments in baby wear.

2. Bamboo Long Sleeve Pajama Co-Ord Set
This pajama set is the perfect example of fashion meeting functionality. The fabric is dreamy soft, the elastic is gentle, and the easy snap buttons make changing a breeze.

It has these cute heart prints on her baby wear that signify all the love I send her. The pyjamas have extra room for diapers, so the baby is snug yet comfortable all the time.

The material is super soft and comfortable, making it an ideal choice for my sweetheart’s baby clothing.

A Mother’s Day Note to All New Moms

This Mother’s Day, let’s go beyond flowers and cards. Let’s talk comfort. Let’s talk choices that truly care — like baby wear that protects your baby’s skin while keeping the planet in mind.

Whether you’re a new mom, a second-time champ, or an aunt (like me!) hunting for the perfect gift, thoughtful picks like Cocoon Care’s bamboo muslin range tick all the boxes. Using baby clothing that thinks about our precious children, and Mother Earth at the same time, should be a priority in our conscious choices. 

An aspect to consider: The hooded towel’s prints appear lighter and less sharp than on usual clothing. It may seem a bit faded or lighter in print than what we are usually used to. But it is soft and gentle and does its job perfectly!

These products are also a little on the higher side of the expense scale, but they last long and are very soft! Additionally, they are also great for the planet and sustainable. So, a little price does not worry me much. 

Final Thoughts: Learn, Unlearn, Relearn

If there’s one thing I’ve learned as a mother, it’s this: You’ll never get it all right.

And that’s okay. We’re all just learning as we go. But if I can go back and whisper one thing to my younger, sleep-deprived self, it would be:

“Choose softness. In your heart, in your touch, and in your baby’s clothing.”

Here’s to gentle fabrics, conscious brands, and celebrating the beautiful chaos of motherhood — one breathable pajama set at a time.
