Guide Review - Bamboo Baby Clothing: The Baby Bam Collection Wraps Your Baby in Luxury
The Baby Bam Collection is quickly gaining popularity.

As consumers become more aware of the challenges we face in saving our environment, they're turning to organic clothing for their babies in an attempt to do their fair share.

The luxuriousness of the Baby Bam Collection makes eco-friendly baby clothing an easy choice. Created with bamboo, their line is naturally anti-bacterial, and hypo-allergenic, it's great for sensitive skin conditions.

Bamboo is also thermal regulating, which is extra-helpful to newborns that are trying to maintain and safe and happy body temperature. It also wicks away moisture and has double the absorbency of cotton - another plus for sensitive skin.

While bamboo may seem an odd choice to make clothing from, the fibers spun from it are as soft and snuggly as silk; they feel great on the skin. Additionally, because the entire line is incredibly eco-friendly it keeps your babies carbon-footprint virtually non-existent.

Although the Baby Bam Collection is extremely limited in scope at this point, they do offer onesies, sleepers, hooded towel and washcloth sets, as well as soap and a baby spa set. Singly, they are each fantastic; together they would make a beautiful baby shower gift.

As if all of the above aren't enough, great customer service and quick shipping times put this site at the top of my list. I expect that as time goes on, and the Baby Bam Collection is given more press, the line will expand. Keep your eyes on this line, it has huge potential. Visit Their Website

Guide Review - The Cutie PaTuTu Baby Tutu: You've Never Seen a Baby Tutu This Cute
Amanda Duke, owner and creator of Cutie Pa Tutu's has done an amazing job of putting a unique spin on a widely available product - the baby tutu.

These baby tutus are bright and colorful and are sure to delight little girls from 1-100. With different sized pom-poms encased in tulle, they appear as though they are floating around your baby's waist. Adorned with beautiful ribbon and accessorized with Puffy Magic Wands, she can be a princess all day long in her Cutie Pa Tutu. In my opinion, photos do not do these tutus justice.

Solidly constructed, the Cutie Pa Tutu line is well stitched, both at the waist around the elastic band and down the back seam, so you don't need to worry about any of those pom-pom's escaping; a very important feature to any parent worried about the potential choking hazard.

But Cutie Pa Tutu's doesn't just create baby tutus. Amanda also designs matching tutus for "pals" such as your baby's favorite doll or stuffed animal, or even for your dog! And, for the little boy in your life, she recently released her line of personalized Super Hero Capes.

Something tells me that Cutie Pa Tutu's is just getting started with their offerings and that there's much more to come. If you're in need of a great baby gift, or just love the idea of a unique baby tutu, head on over to CutiePaTuTus.com and browse their selection; you're sure to find something you'll love.

5 Things to Remember When Buying Infant Clothing

Infants can be fussy little creatures, but one sure fire way to get them screaming is to put them in uncomfortable infant clothing. But since you can't actually try them on yourself, how do you make sure that the clothing your buying will pass the test? Keep these 5 things in mind when you're making any clothing purchase.

Check the Seams

Seams on the insides of your infant clothing should be smooth and lie flat. You can check the seams by turning the garment inside out and looking at them or simply putting your hands inside the tops and bottoms to ensure that, when running your hands along the seam, nothing pokes or scratches your skin.

Avoid Tight Elastic

Tight elastic bands at the arms, lets, neck or waist can irritate your baby's sensitive skin as well as cut circulation, making for a very uncomfortable tot. Sometimes it's obvious when baby and infant clothing is too tight, but when you're at the store purchasing it, it might not seem so simple.

Give each area with elastic banding a gentle tug - how much give is there? If there is a lot of stretch, your baby should have room to grow, if not, it's better to skip it. And remember, let your baby's weight determine what size he should wear, not his age.

Scratchy Baby Clothes

Metal zippers, appliques or snaps with rough or uneven backings can all create scratch. Many baby clothes now come with appliques, so it's important that you double check the backings for rough edges. And don't be fooled into thinking that the backing will soften up with a few washings - it won't happen.

Possible Choking Hazards

I'm a big believer in avoiding the small things that can end up in your baby's mouth, possibly presenting a chocking hazard. And I believe that many other moms are too. But, there are a lot of places that these items show up you wouldn't even think about - like your baby's clothes. Seen a shirt with sequins or buttons on it lately?

If you do buy items like this because you just can't resist their inevitable cuteness, give sequins, buttons and snaps a quick tug to make sure they don't come off. In addition, be sure to recheck these after every single washing because these items can come loose during any part of the cycle.

Consider Fabric Content

Check labels for fabric content before making a purchase. Remember that infant clothing comes in a variety of fabrics; while natural fabrics are best for sensitive baby skin they're not always the practical choice. Other things to remember: cotton can shrink up to 10% with the first wash, polyester/cotton blends tend to be less expensive and don't wrinkle and thin fabrics are the least durable.

Keep these 5 things in mind when buying infant clothing and you should have one happy baby - at least when it comes to his wardrobe.
