Bamboo Bubby Itch Scratch Wake Repeat Baby Bodysuit - 100% Cotton Short Sleeve Bodysuit

I want something soft and simple for every day. What should my baby wear?

A soft, tag-free bodysuit is an easy everyday base. The Bamboo Bubby Itch Scratch Wake Repeat Baby Bodysuit is 100% cotton, with tag-free seams and short sleeves. Wear it on its own on warmer days, or layer it under other clothes when it's cooler.

Tags and rough seams seem to bother my baby. What helps?

Look for tag-free clothing with soft fabric against the skin. The Bamboo Bubby Itch Scratch Wake Repeat Baby Bodysuit has tag-free seams, so there's no label rubbing at the neck. If your baby's skin is red, weeping, bleeding or getting worse, see your GP or child health nurse.

My baby has eczema. Is this bodysuit right for her?

It's a soft cotton bodysuit for gentle everyday wear, and it isn't bamboo. If you want bamboo against her skin, the Bamboo Bubby Nap Ninja Bamboo Baby Bodysuit is 95% bamboo viscose and 5% elastane. To cover scratching hands and arms, add the Bamboo Bubby Eczema Mitten Sleeves over either bodysuit.

My baby scratches at night. Will a bodysuit stop it?

No bodysuit stops the itch. A short-sleeve bodysuit covers the tummy and back, but arms and hands stay free. Pair it with the Bamboo Bubby Eczema Mitten Sleeves, which cover arms and hands with silk mittens, or with the Bamboo Bubby Baby Sleeping Bag with Scratch Sleeves for nights.

Who is it for?

The Bamboo Bubby Itch Scratch Wake Repeat Baby Bodysuit is for babies from newborn to 2 years who need a soft, simple bodysuit for every day. It suits baby boys and baby girls, on its own on warmer days or under sleepwear at night. Sizes run NB (0-3M) to 24M.

What colours does it come in?

Light Blue, Pink and Grey. The Bamboo Bubby Itch Scratch Wake Repeat Baby Bodysuit suits baby boys and baby girls, and every colour and size is $39.95. Mix colours across a few bodysuits for easy rotation, since everyday bodysuits go through the wash often.

Is it suitable for newborns?

Yes. The NB (0-3M) size fits newborns up to about 3 months. The soft cotton and tag-free seams suit delicate newborn skin. For a bamboo option from birth, the Bamboo Bubby Nap Ninja Bamboo Baby Bodysuit starts at NB-6M. Both have short sleeves and tag-free seams.

Is it warm enough on its own?

It's a short-sleeve cotton layer, best on its own on warmer days. When it's cooler, layer it under other clothes or sleepwear. Dress your baby for the room and check the back of the neck or chest to see your baby is comfortable.

Can it go on over creams?

Yes. Apply creams first, then dress your baby in the Bamboo Bubby Itch Scratch Wake Repeat Baby Bodysuit. The bodysuit helps keep cream on the tummy and back instead of the bedding. Cotton washes easily, which helps when bedtime creams mean washing every day.

Can it go under sleepwear at night?

Yes. Layer it under pyjamas or a sleeping bag at night. Under the Bamboo Bubby Baby Sleeping Bag with Scratch Sleeves, it's a light short-sleeve base for warmer rooms. Keep your baby's head and face uncovered, and follow Red Nose safe sleep advice.

How often should I wash it?

Wash it after each wear, especially over creams or after a nappy leak. Machine wash warm, then line dry or tumble dry low. Keeping three in rotation makes daily washing easier, with one on, one in the wash and one spare.

What is it made of?

Is it safe for sleep?

Is it gentle on sensitive skin?
