If your baby has sensitive skin or eczema, you already know how stressful getting dressed can be. The wrong fabric can trigger flare-ups, redness, and a very unhappy baby. The good news? Choosing the right clothing can make a world of difference — and 100% GOTS-certified organic cotton is the gold standard.
Why Organic Cotton is Different
Conventional cotton is one of the most chemically intensive crops in the world. It's treated with pesticides, synthetic dyes, and finishing chemicals — all of which can linger in the fabric against your baby's skin all day long. Organic cotton, on the other hand, is grown without harmful pesticides and processed without toxic chemicals, making it naturally gentler and safer for sensitive skin.
At Dew & Dove, every piece of clothing is made from 100% GOTS-certified organic cotton — the highest global standard for organic textiles. GOTS certification means the entire supply chain, from farming to finished garment, meets strict ecological and social standards.
What to Look for When Dressing a Baby with Eczema
- 100% organic cotton — no synthetic blends that trap heat and moisture
- Non-toxic dyes — harsh chemical dyes are a common eczema trigger
- Soft, breathable fabric — allows skin to breathe and regulate temperature
- Easy on/off closures — snaps and zips are gentler than pulling tight fabric over inflamed skin

Washing Tips for Babies with Sensitive Skin

- Skip fabric softener — it coats fibers and can irritate skin
- Wash new clothes before first wear
- Tumble dry on low or air dry to preserve softness
