Cotton Essentials for Newborn & Parents

Why is Cotton Good for babies?

Cotton is the Fabric of Family.

Bringing home a new baby can be overwhelming for all parents, but choosing products for baby that are made from cotton means making a decision you can feel confident about.

Cotton is the perfect fabric choice for both mom and baby because it’s a natural fiber. Cotton comes from the earth- directly from a plant; it’s not made in a lab like synthetic fibers. Naturally hypoallergenic, cotton is less likely to irritate the skin, making it comfy and easy for baby’s sensitive skin and mom too. You can rest assured products made from cotton like Boppy’s Cotton Nursing Pillow Cover will keep mom and baby comfortable by being kind on skin, breathable, and soft. Plus, cotton is naturally microplastic free, so you can feel great knowing there’s no microplastics coming between you and baby’s skin.

We’ve curated a few of our favorite items for both baby and new mom that are all made from natural, breathable cotton. From blankets and towels for baby to robes and tote bags for parents, these make fabulous gifts for the new mom in your life (or to add to your registry!).
