Milkberry Bamboo Pajamas: What to Know Before You Buy
Milkberry is a small brand of baby and toddler pajamas. Its main product is a two-piece set, a long-sleeve top and full-length pants, in a soft rayon made from bamboo, in sizes from 12 months to 5T. Here is what the sets are like, who they suit and how to keep them in shape.
What a set looks like
Each set pairs a crew-neck top with matching pants in the same print. The neckline, wrists and ankles have a ribbed band in a contrast color, which keeps sleeves and legs from riding up during the night.
The prints are calm: dachshunds, woodland deer, meadow animals, dinosaurs. Some sets are sold with a pair of matching socks with grip dots on the soles.
Who they suit
- Warm sleepers. The fabric is light and breathable.
- Kids with sensitive skin who find rougher knits itchy.
- Toddlers moving out of sleep sacks into two-piece pajamas.
- Less suited to younger babies who still sleep in footed or zip-up sleepers.
What "rayon made from bamboo" means
Bamboo is the raw material, but the pulp is turned into fiber by a chemical process, the same way other rayon and viscose fabrics are made. That is why the label says rayon. The result is smooth, stretchy and cool to the touch, which is what parents like about it for sleepwear.
Care
Wash cool on a gentle cycle, inside out, and dry on low or hang to dry. High heat is what shrinks rayon. Skip fabric softener, and follow the care label on your set.
