Children's bedding and sleepwear
Having a child is the most beautiful experience for everyone but taking care of the needs of a growing child, particularly an infant or toddler who spends most of their time sleeping, is challenging. The Sleep Foundation recommends using clothing and bedding essentials for children which are comfortable, snug-fitting, fire-resistant, and at the same time allow a child to move around in bed.
Amala Earth is where we care for our children through conscious living. We bring products, sustainable brands, and expert opinions to have a harmonious relationship with Mother Earth. Locally made products and hand-stitched essentials are what we abide by. Here we tell you about your children's sleepwear, children's bedding sets and bedding requirements and how we can inculcate a nature-conscious living. We are an Indian-origin brand.
Bedding and sleepwear requirements in children
From a newborn baby to an infant, toddler, and child, growing up comes with numerous changes and calls for meticulous essentials, especially while sleeping, as the child grows abundantly during the sleeping phase. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has suggested certain requirements for sleepwear and bedding essentials for children below the age of 14.
- Fabric texture: Cotton has been the preferred fabric for children of all ages. It is soft and convenient to use and is well accepted by children.
- Fitting: Newborn clothes should be snug to ensure a protective covering at all times. Once the infant grows, it needs to move and explore the world around it. This prompts a wearable cloth that may be hands-free and convenient for don and doff.
- Fire-resistant: The children's bedding sets and sleepwear must be flame resistant as children may not realise they are in danger when alone.
- Other considerations: Underwear and diapers should not be considered sleepwear. Sleepwear and bedding clothes should be cotton material for comfort and ease of use.
- Growth goals: Newborn babies spend most of their time sleeping, and as they grow, they explore the world with their bodies which should be kept in mind while selecting cotton night suit, children's bedding sets and sleepwear. They should be able to turn themselves around, use their hands and legs, breathe easily and rotate their heads for better vision of things around them.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What should a toddler wear to bed?
Regulatory standards suggest using soft cotton clothes for toddlers with enough space for movement of hands and chest during sleep. Children's comfort and movement play an important role when choosing nightwear.
2. What is the difference between a kid's quilt and a kid’s blanket?
A blanket is made of a single cotton layer, whereas a quilt is a three-layered cotton fabric quilted or stitched together into one. A quilt offers greater protection against harsh winters and circulation during damp weather.
3. What is an organic kids cot?
An organic cot is made from hypoallergenic materials that are safe for use as children's bedding essentials. It ensures a safe and sound sleep for children of all ages. Organic cot helps prevent allergies from dust and mites.
4. Can a children's quilt be used in the Summers?
A quilt can be used during Summers to regulate a child's body temperature. Summer nights are usually spent with blaring ACs or fans; therefore, children need protection. Blankets may be used during winters to regulate the body's temperature concerning the surrounding.
5. How many pairs of pyjamas does a child need?
A child usually needs anywhere between 4-7 pyjamas to maintain hygiene. Some may require more as well.
6. How do you store nightwear?
Nightwear pyjamas and shirts are ideally kept in an airy basket with a lid to prevent bad odour and maintain hygiene.
7. Why does my nightwear smell?
Clothes are close to the skin and help absorb moisture, sweat, and odours. This is the primary reason for smelly nightwear. We suggest frequent washing and change of nightwear in such cases.
