I have a lot of parents ask me if I think bamboo baby clothes are worth the extra money. "Sure they're silky-soft and provide an excellent base layer, but can't I get the same effect with a cotton undershirt?"

The short answer is "no." Bamboo (at least in my mind) is far superior to cotton, for a number of reasons. On top of its thermal-regulating properties, it's also antimicrobial, and hypo-allergenic.

You really do have to decide for yourself. But as a parent that chooses bamboo whenever I can get my hands on it, I'll promise you it's a purchase you'll never regret making.

Mittens for babies are not necessarily hard to find, but mittens that both stay on and keep your baby's hands dry is a whole different story.

That's what I love about mimiTENS. Not only do they have extra-long cuffs, they're made of water-repellant nylon, insulated with Thinsulate, and then lined with Oeko-Tex certified bamboo cotton/fleece. So, they're warm, will keep the kiddos hands dry, and they're eco-friendly.

Love.
