Buying Baby Towels: What You Need To Think About

Welcoming a new life into the world is an exciting and scary experience for anyone. Whether you’re a new parent or expanding your family, there’s a lot you have to do and prepare for when bringing your child into the world and carrying them home from the hospital.

There are thousands of products on the market for babies, ranging from toys to feeding tools and beyond. Some products are essential, while others are fashionable items that might not be as helpful as you first thought when you start trying to use them.

One product that every new parent needs is baby towels. Towels are vital for drying your baby and warming them up after a wash.

While babies can use the same towels as adults, it’s recommended that you keep separate towels for your baby. Young children have sensitive skin that can be harmed by strong detergents, so if you have separate baby towels, then you can wash them separately from others.

Also, having towels specifically for your child means that you can choose soft, durable materials that will dry them quickly and efficiently. If they are left wet for a long time, then your baby could get cold, so choosing the best towels for them is important for their health and happiness.

If you’re looking for towels for your precious bundle of joy, then here are some of the main factors you need to consider.

Know The Best Material

The best material for baby towels is cotton. Cotton is absorbent, warming and natural, meaning that your little one won’t have to feel harsh chemicals on their delicate skin.

Naturally breathable, cotton helps your baby to regulate their body temperature and can quickly absorb excess moisture from their skin.

As well as being absorbent and soft for delicate skin, cotton is also a durable fabric so that the fibres won’t fall off your towels often. Having a strong towel means that you can reduce the chances of your baby inhaling or eating the fibres.

All these benefits are why The Towel Shop only stocks 100% cotton baby towel products. Cotton is a versatile material, so whether you want fluffy terry towelling or soft cotton muslin, you can find the perfect cotton towels for your child.

Find The Right Size

Having towels in different sizes for your baby means that you’ll always have the right option on hand when you need it.

For carrying around with you and mopping up small spills on your baby’s skin or clothes, a small muslin cloth is an ideal option.

When it comes to bathing your baby, you need to make sure that you have towels that are large enough to wrap around their entire body, including their head.

One great option to cover your baby and get them dry quickly and efficiently is a hooded baby robe. Our hooded baby robes come in cute options, including one with ears to make your baby look adorable and keep them dry after having a bath.

We also offer a hooded baby robe with teddy bear embroidery, making it a cute but also practical product. This option makes for a perfect gift for new parents, or you can buy it for your own baby to keep them warm and snug.

Having multiple sizes of baby towels means that you always have the right option when you’re little one is wet and ready to be dried off.

Get Equally Soft Bedding

Having the right towels for your little one is important, but if you don’t get them their own home linens, then their skin will still potentially come into contact with harsh chemicals and rough fabrics.

As such, you need to look beyond towels for your child and also consider the other fabric products that they need. One of the most significant, after towels, is their bed linen.

Babies need soft, suitable bedding that will comfort their delicate skin while they sleep. Young babies and newborns need between 8 and 18 hours of sleep per day, so they’ll spend a lot of time in their beds.

All of our baby bedding is 100% cotton, so your little one will enjoy a comfortable night’s sleep or a lovely midday nap. Cotton offers many benefits for baby bedding as well as towels, so it’s a perfect choice and will give your child the ideal setting to sleep in.

These soft, comfortable bedding products, including duvets and pillow covers, will help your little one to rest up and get ready for the next adventure.

Always Buy Extra

Like most items, babies always need more towels than you might think. They may be small, but these little ones are mighty, and they have a real skill for getting grubby or wet just when you’ve put a wash on and have run out of baby bath towels.

So, when you’re buying baby towels, you should always buy extra and be prepared to get more if you need them as your little one grows.

Thankfully, The Towel Shop offers discounts for those bulk buying our products, so the more you buy, the less you pay per item. Most of our baby products come as single items or in boxes of 10 or 50, so you can get as many as you need.

That means you can get all the baby towels you need at a great price. As well as towels for babies, we also offer a full range of household linens.

We have almost every kind of towel, including face clothes, bath sheets, guest towels and more. Alongside towels, we also provide all types of bedding, bath robes, table linen and more.

Whatever you need, we’ve got you covered with our range of high-quality home linen products. We’ve got something for everyone, so whether you have sensitive skin or want to be more eco-friendly by using bamboo or cotton products, we’ve got the perfect products for you.
