How do I care for cotton baby clothes after beach days?

Rinse cotton baby beach clothes in fresh water as soon as possible after your beach day. Saltwater and sunscreen residue break down fabric faster if left to sit, so a quick rinse before the drive home makes a real difference. Wash on a gentle cycle in cool or warm water and line-dry rather than tumble-dry. Cotton softens with each gentle wash over time.

How should I size beach clothes for travel?

For beach trips, size up by at least one size from your baby's current fit. Beach days involve nappies that shift, swelling in heat, and clothes that need to go over a swim nappy or rash top. A roomier fit is consistently more comfortable in tropical weather than something fitted, and it leaves room for the layering that full-day beach days actually require.

Our baby has sensitive skin, what should we watch for?

For babies with sensitive skin, check seams before buying beach clothes. Flatlock seams — stitched flat rather than raised — sit far more kindly against reactive skin than standard seams, which can leave tracks after active wear. Avoid anything with internal tags. After a beach day, a warm rinse-down before putting fresh clothes on helps a lot: salt and sunscreen residue trapped under clothing is often the culprit when irritation shows up hours later, not the fabric itself.
