A Natural Start When it comes to dressing your baby, comfort and safety come first. That’s why every Little Novice piece is crafted from 100% cotton — never synthetics. In this post, we’ll share the reasons we believe cotton is best for babies, and what makes our bodysuits a parent favourite.
Why Cotton is Best for Babies Cotton is more than a natural fabric — it’s a breathable, body-friendly material that supports your baby’s wellbeing.
-
Breathable and temperature-regulating: Cotton allows air to circulate, helping keep your baby cool in summer and cozy in winter.
-
Soft on sensitive skin: Naturally gentle, cotton reduces the risk of irritation, rashes, and overheating.
-
Absorbent and practical: Cotton absorbs moisture effectively, keeping your baby comfortable throughout the day.
-
Easy to wash, built to last: Durable through daily wear and repeated washes — perfect for little lives in motion.
At Little Novice, we use only cotton in every single item. No polyester blends, no performance synthetics, no compromises.
The Problem with Synthetics Synthetics like polyester, nylon or acrylic may be cheaper, but they come at a cost:
-
Heat trapping: Synthetic fibres don’t breathe well, which can cause babies to overheat or feel sticky.
-
Chemical coatings: Many synthetic baby clothes are treated with finishing agents or dyes that can irritate delicate skin.
-
Non-biodegradable: Unlike cotton, synthetics don’t break down in nature. They add to the plastic waste crisis.
-
Not skin-kind: Synthetics can feel itchy or plasticky — not what your baby needs in their early months
We’re committed to only using materials we’d feel confident dressing our own children in.
