The Little Green Sheep

Why we love organic fibres

When making purchases for the nursery, we naturally gravitate towards the highest quality, safest materials we can afford. We all want to keep our little ones as safe and healthy as possible. We have learned to keep small babies’ sleep spaces free of bumpers, soft toys and loose blankets, and now we are beginning to understand the importance of avoiding harmful chemicals in their sleepwear, bedding, mattresses and baby cots and bassinets too.

This naturally sees today’s parents gravitating toward organic fibres for their baby’s bedroom, and The Little Green Sheep is here to help with that. Their bedding uses the highest quality, certified organic fibres that are naturally free from harmful chemicals and pesticides that can be found in conventional cotton and other materials. This means that your baby's delicate skin won't be exposed to any unnecessary toxins or irritants. Instead, their organic bedding is made from materials like GOTS-certified organic cotton and wool that have been grown and processed without the use of harmful chemicals.

In addition to being better for your baby's skin, organic fibres are also better for the environment. Organic farming practices help to promote healthy soil, reduce pollution, and conserve water. The Little Green Sheep uses materials like organic cotton, bamboo, and wool that are sustainably sourced and environmentally friendly. Organic farming slows the speed of production, no fast-fashion style production practices here. Their bedding is crafted with care and attention, made to stand the test of time.

And let's not forget about comfort! Organic fibres are often softer and more breathable than synthetic materials, making them perfect for baby bedding. Organic mattresses and bedding are made from materials like coconut coir, organic cotton, and natural wool, which provide a firm, comfortable and supportive sleeping surface for your little one.

Natural fibres for sleeping

If any parent of a small baby were asked to make a list of the three things they were most concerned about when thinking about their little one, they would most likely say: sleep, feeding, and then get distracted due to lack of sleep before they could finish the list! Sleeping is so crucial to the well-being of not just a baby but of their whole family that it’s natural that we spend so much time and effort trying to instil and develop healthy sleep habits. When a baby sleeps well, the whole family benefits.

Here in Singapore, nights are steamy and stuffy, air-conditioning can be noisy and uncomfortable. At bedtime, it can seem like the whole city’s working against us! Just like us, babies need a cool, calm, comfortable sleep environment to promote the best sleep, and we want to remove any barriers between bubs and dreamland that we can.

Organic, natural fibres like wool, cotton, and bamboo are all naturally breathable and moisture-wicking - lessening the chance of a sweaty night disrupting sleep. As they are free from harmful chemicals, they are much less likely to irritate your baby’s delicate skin, meaning less squirming and scratching too.

Basically, we’re trying to think of all the ways that your little one’s sleep could be disturbed and eliminate them one by one. Now, if only we could find a fibre that guards against bad dreams!
