Bamboo for Baby from Beach to Bath
Water is a huge part of your baby’s life, from nightly baths to summertime dips in the pool. Whether your little one is a natural water baby or slow to warm up to the idea, bamboo baby towels and swim ponchos are the perfect splash-time accessories to keep your little one comfortable and you (relatively) dry.
Why Bamboo Baby Towels?
Our signature rayon and terry made from bamboo are miracle textiles with hollow fibers that provide a supple, soft feel with incredible breathability that outperforms even cotton. There are many reasons you should try bamboo infant towels, which are perfectly suited for use in warm, wet environments.
Bamboo baby towels are:
- Antimicrobial to stay fresh between uses
- Hypoallergenic to be gentle on delicate baby skin
- Moisture-wicking for quick drying
- Buttery soft for perfect post-bath cuddles
Did You Know Hooded Towels Help Prevent Heat Loss?
There’s nothing cuter than a teeny baby, fresh out of the bath, snuggled up in a warm hooded towel. But did you know that hooded towels do much more than just look adorable? Hooded towels serve an important role in helping your little one avoid heat loss while damp after their bath.
In your newborn’s earliest weeks and months, their temperature regulation abilities are underdeveloped, and they easily lose body heat. Fortunately, there are simple things you can do to keep your baby warm after a bath before transitioning them from a hooded towel to their cuddly pajamas:
- Prepare your supplies, including an infant towel, diaper, and PJs, before the bath
- Run a warm bath between 98°F and 100°F
- Keep bathtime short—just five or ten minutes
- Wrap baby in a warm, hooded towel after their bath
- Dry your baby’s hair thoroughly with a soft baby towel
Hooded Infant Towels from Kyte Baby
Bamboo hooded towels are a baby registry must-have that will serve your little ones long past the newborn weeks. Even after your baby can regulate their own temperature more easily, you’ll love the adorable look of our hooded infant towels that help keep a wiggly baby covered and your floors relatively splash-free.
Our baby towels are sized generously, at 32” by 32”, several inches larger than a typical newborn hooded towel to provide plenty of growing room. Our luxuriously fluffy 500 gsm bamboo terry infant towel feels perfectly plush on your little one’s skin.
Kyte Baby’s Hooded Toddler Towels
When your little one does eventually outgrow our hooded infant towel, you don’t have to give up the convenience of a quick-drying baby towel with a built-in hood. Our toddler hooded towels add a few extra inches of coverage to keep up with all those growth spurts. Your little one will love to wrap up in cozy bamboo terry after the pool or bath with our 33” by 47” hooded towel, sized perfectly for older tots.
Accessories to Elevate Their Baby Bath
Elevate your little one’s washing-up routine with plush bamboo baby towels in teeny washcloth form. We love these super soft baby towels for gently massaging baby in the bath, but they even replace baby wipes for lots of little daily messes. Pair our luxurious infant towels and washcloths with our new hypoallergenic bath and body collection, Kyte Skin, for a truly soothing bathing experience.
Robes for Functional and Fun Family Matching after Bathtime
Bathtime is a fun bonding experience for parents and babies. You can make your little one feel extra special with a matching, miniaturized version of your own favorite bathrobe. A plush baby bathrobe just their size will keep them toasty warm and cozy after their nightly bath, and they’ll love looking just like you!
Bathtime as an Introduction to Swimming
Beyond being a comforting part of your baby’s nightly bedtime routine, a warm bath is a great way to introduce your little one to the water. Bathtime can gently prepare you both for summer pool time with your baby and can go a long way to fostering a love of the water and awareness of water safety, especially when followed by the gentle reassurances of cuddles in a soft infant towel.
How to Use an Infant Towel to Prepare for Swimming
Gently pouring water over your little one’s skin during a nightly bath can help ease their eventual transition to swimming. You can keep your baby warm and comfortable during this exercise by covering their body with a soft infant towel in the water. Allow small drips of water to fall across your baby’s face to help them grow used to the sensation.
Keep a soft infant towel handy to dry baby’s face if they get uncomfortable, and don’t force the experience if your baby is clearly unhappy. Experts recommend that babies under six months not swim, especially in chlorinated pools, as the chemicals are too harsh for their sensitive baby skin. In these early months, focus on parent-child bonding with warm, soothing baths with lots of snuggles afterward in plush baby towels.
Swim Ponchos for Sweet Summer Fun
When you change out your little one’s sleep bags and jammies for cooler summer TOG options, it’s also time to consider ways to keep your toddler cool and protected when outdoors. Hooded bamboo swim ponchos are an easy way to protect their skin when they’re taking a break from the water.
Breathable, quick-drying bamboo swim ponchos keep kids cool, unlike heavy terrycloth beach towels. A hooded design keeps little ears, faces, and shoulders protected, while the simple style makes it easy for them to slip into their soft swim poncho without help.
Sun Safety Tips for Babies
We all know that sun protection is critical, and it’s even more crucial to protect delicate baby skin from the sun. However, dermatologists recommend avoiding sunscreen when possible for babies under six months, as their skin is too sensitive for many of the chemical filters used in conventional sunscreen.
Instead, try these tips to protect your little ones from the sun:
- Seek shade whenever possible
- Wear wide-brimmed hats and sunglasses
- When necessary, use mineral sunscreens with zinc or titanium dioxide
- Cover up with breathable layers like bamboo swim ponchos
Splash Into Fun with Bamboo Baby Towels from Bath to Beach
Whether your water baby prefers their splashes in the tub or is ready to make waves at the beach, keep them comfy and protected in quick-drying, ultra-soft bamboo baby towels and swim ponchos. With cozy towels in so many colors and styles to choose from, your little one will love drying off as much as they love diving in.
