How do I wash baby clothes to keep them soft and rash-friendly in a humid climate?

Wash with a gentle, fragrance-free detergent. Avoid fabric softeners. They coat the fibres and reduce breathability over time. Line dry in the shade when possible. Our muslin pieces get softer with each wash, so don't worry about over-washing them.

How do I size baby clothes for a tropical holiday if my child is between sizes?

Go up. A slightly oversized onesie allows more airflow and sits away from skin folds, both of which reduce heat rash risk. Our sizing runs true but we always recommend sizing up for travel.

My baby has sensitive skin — are there fabrics I should definitely avoid?

Synthetic blends (polyester, nylon, rayon) are the main ones to avoid in heat. They trap moisture against the skin. Stiff or rough textures will also irritate skin that's already warm and slightly swollen from heat. Soft, natural weaves with minimal additives are your best option.
