Bamboo is perfect for babies delicate skin because it is naturally hypo-allergenic, and anti-bacterial, preventing odor, allergies and skin irritations. In addition, Bamboo is thermal regulating, which is important since babies have a hard time regulating body temperature when first born. It will keep baby warmer than cotton in cool weather and two to three degrees cooler than cotton in hot weather. Bamboo also wicks moisture away and has double the absorbency of cotton.
Because Bamboo is a grass that grows like a weed, it is the fastest growing plant on the planet today. It can grow up to three feet in one day! This means Bamboo is the alternative to wide spread clear cutting of the forests, and the most sustainable textile material available on the market. It doesn't need help from pesticides or insecticides and usually grows on rain water alone. And as far as how it looks... Bamboo looks like expensive Pima or Egyptian cotton and drapes like silk. It has less shrinkage than cotton and does not pill.
It has been described as feeling like pure cashmere.
