Bamboo is perfect next to babies delicate skin because it is naturally hypo-allergenic, and anti-bacterial, preventing odor, allergies and skin irritations. In addtion, it is thermal regualting, which is ideal while babies learn to regulate their own temperatures. Bamboo also wicks away moisture and had double the absorbancy of cotton.
If this isn't enough, Bamboo is the fastest growing plant on the planet today because it is a grass that grows like a weed. It can grow up to three feet in one day! This means Bamboo is the alternative to wide spread clear cutting of forests, and the most sustainable textile material available in the market today! 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!
