Baby wraps have become more popular and trendy over the past few years. Just as with most things, there are many different styles and fabrics to choose from. How do you know which fabric will work best for you? What sways you to purchase one fabric over another?

I have had the pleasure of learning about Sugar Sweet Baby and the bamboo wraps they offer. There are so many reasons to go with bamboo. Compliments of SugarSweetBaby.com and their manufacturer, I've listed the "stand out" reasons.

Super Soft & Silky
Bamboo fiber is softer than the softest cotton, has a natural sheen to the surface and feels similar to silk or cashmere. But, it has a very high soil release value and is so durable; you can throw it in the washer and drier.

Breathable & Thermal regulating
Bamboo fiber is more breathable, comfortable and thermal regulating than cotton, wool or any other synthetic fiber thereby keeping you cooler, drier and more comfortable all day. Bamboo fiber's unique cross section composed of a matrix with various microscopic gaps allows bamboo apparels to absorb and evaporate perspiration faster than any other fabric. It's nice not to have your clothes sticking to your skin in the hot summer or during exercise!

Anti-bacterial & Odor Free
Unlike other antimicrobial fabrics, which require a chemical treatment (and are often irritating and hyper allergenic to the skin), bamboo fiber fabric and yarn are naturally bacteriostatic and require no harmful chemicals. The fibers contain an agent, “bamboo kun”, that prevents bacteria from cultivating on it thereby inhibiting body odor. The naturally occurring bacteriostatic property also helps prevent cultivation of yeasts, molds and fungus on your clothes and on you! The Japan Textile Inspection Association has tested bamboo fiber fabric finding that even after 50 washes, the bamboo fabric could still eliminate over 70% of bacteria purposely incubated on the fabric.

Hypoallergenic & UV Protection
Bamboo apparel is hypoallergenic. Bamboo’s organic and natural fiber properties make it non-irritating to the skin making it a pleasant alternative for anyone with skin sensitivities or other allergies and dermatitis. Bamboo apparel also protects you from UV rays, naturally.

Environment
Bamboo apparel is good for our ecosystems because Bamboo does not require pesticides, insecticides, or fertilizers, and does not involve the use of genetically modified organisms. In contrast, cotton crops are one of the most intensely sprayed crops in the world receiving 3-5 times greater application of pesticides per acre than other crops like corn or soybeans. The chemicals used on the cotton crops are linked to ground and surface water contamination, and even the pollution of drinking water. Did you know that it takes about a pound of chemicals to grow the cotton contained in a cotton t-shirt and pants?

Biodegradable
Further, Bamboo fibers are biodegradable, unlike synthetic textile fibers. Synthetic textile fibers are also made from non-renewable petroleum, and can even emit harmful gasses when incinerated. Almost all polyester/cotton blend fabrics are finished with formaldehyde, a carcinogen.

In addition to all of these great reasons to go with bamboo, Sugar Sweet Baby also adds in style! The baby wraps they offer are just incredibly gorgeous!! Whether you're a mom to an angelic baby girl or a bouncing baby boy, Sugar Sweet Baby has wraps that are bound to make you fall head over heels!
