Top 5 Reasons Your Daughter Is Obsessed with Bamboo for Your Grandchild
As grandmothers, we like to think we bring some wisdom and experience to our daughters as they navigate the early stages of motherhood. Naturally, we're wary when a new parenting trend comes along. After all, our moms raised us with Dr. Spock’s trendy philosophies about "crying it out," and when we were new moms, the Brazelton Way was the talk of the playdates.
So, when we see our girls embrace something new, we like to point out—whether we've been asked or not—how the "old way" of doing things worked just fine. Usually followed by, "You survived, didn’t you?"
But believe it or not, some new trends really are improvements on your officially ancient ways (your daughter’s words, not ours). One of those is the popularity of bamboo material versus good old cotton. Here are some reasons why:
1. Breathability
Bamboo fabric is generally considered to be more breathable than cotton. More breathable material keeps your baby cooler and more comfortable during the night. Which translates into sleeping longer for both the baby and their mother. Win/Win!
2. Absorbency
Bamboo fabric is 40% more absorbent than cotton fibers. It can actually absorb three times its weight in water, which helps wick moisture away from the baby’s skin. Just like no baby on earth likes a wet diaper, they hate the feel of sweaty pajamas. Bamboo fabric keeps them cool, but also dry. And again, this helps with a better night nights sleep.
3. Sustainability
Growing bamboo is typically gentler on the environment than growing cotton. Every new mom has guilt about, well, pretty much everything. Helping the environment is one less thing to feel guilty about especially if you’re getting lectured about disposable diapers.
4. Unbelievable Softness
Bamboo is even softer than cotton, which is important because super-soft material is best for toddlers with sensory issues and baby's sensitive skin. More comfortable pajamas like Buckle Me Baby's bamboo pajamas lead to less fussing at bedtime.
5. Hypoallergenic
Childhood eczema is no joke. The itching and rash are so miserable for a baby, and any new parent will do anything to alleviate the discomfort. Bamboo is soft, breathable, absorbent, and naturally hypoallergenic. Its airflow and temperature regulation can reduce itching and sweating.
So even though "Mother Knows Best," try to embrace your daughter’s choice and her research. A perfect way to do this? A gift of buttery-soft Buckle Me Baby Jammie or Blowout Blockerz Pajamas. The bamboo fabric and adorable prints will be something you can actually agree on.
And you thought that birth was the greatest miracle!

Genius Jams are GENIUS!
I bought these pjs for my daughter and she loves them! I love that the wrist and feet fold over. The bamboo makes the pjs so soft and they are stretchy which is so nice for a growing little one! Highly recommend!!

It makes it so much easier on my daughter in law when she puts the kids in the car. Specially it the early morning hours when they get dropped off to me.

Exactly what I needed
My house runs cold and we keep the baby bundled with blankets to keep her warm. The problem is that our baby has happy feet and always kicks the blankets off. The cozy car seat blankie is perfect for keeping her toasty wherever she is. I was losing my mind having to pick up her blankets every few seconds, ESPECIALLY while she is in her bouncer or swing. The blankie itself is very soft but lightweight too so she doesn’t overheat. Would definitely recommend!

Softest blankie ever
I was reluctant to order for my grandson, because I knew that much of the winter would be over when it arrived. Once I received it in the beginning of Feb, I couldn’t be happier with my purchase.
In addition to being the softest fabric ever….
Its so light and comfy, that it could really be used all year long! ( even on a cool evening in the summer ) And the fact that it goes from 0-24 months is an added bonus!! Highly recommend

Must have!
I bought two of these for my, one a brown and gold for my 16mth old grandson and pink and lavender for my 20 mth old granddaughter.
I hated that the babies couldn’t wear their coats in the car. It’s cold here!!! We’ve had below zero windchills temps in the teens it lower. Getting the kids into the car, out of their coats and into the car seats is a major hassle, not to mention requires mom or dad to be out in the cold while trying to manage that.
Gigi to the rescue!! These coats are not only adorable, but so practical. I love the way they’re constructed. With Velcro next to the zipper, and the shoulder tabs, it fast and easy to get the kids secure in the car seats, harnesses against their body and the coat closed with the Velcro. The kids are warm, mom and dad’s life is easier and I’m not stressing over the babies being out minus their coat.

“These are perfect”, says my granddaughter who has 12 month old twins. They are safe in their seatbelts and stay covered and warm. The Velcro in the back is great. She says to give these blankies a 5 star rating.

Finally a coat she can wear in the car!
I bought this for my granddaughter because I couldn’t stand seeing her without a coat all the time. She likes it, it is warm and it doesn’t have to be taken off when she is in her car seat. It gets cold (42 degrees and windy today) but she still wants to play outside so having a coat that will keep her warm is a must. I am so thrilled someone realized there had to be a way to make a coat that can be worn safely in a car seat. I also love that it has a hood and is relatively easy to use.
