Why baby towels are different
A baby towel isn't just a smaller bath towel. Newborns lose body heat quickly — which is why the American Academy of Pediatrics advises wrapping a baby in a towel straight after bathing to keep them warm. A good hooded towel does real work: it warms, it protects delicate skin, and it makes the after-bath routine calmer for everyone. That's why the details buyers scrutinise on baby products are stricter than on any other towel line: the softness of the yarn, the safety of the dyes, the seams near the face, and the certifications behind every claim.
For a brand or importer, that means your supplier has to get the small things right. This page lays out exactly what we make, the specs that matter, and how to order.

Cotton vs bamboo — which for baby skin?
One of the most common questions buyers (and parents) ask. We manufacture in both, plus organic cotton, so you can choose by your market:
| Fibre | Feel & benefit | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Cotton terry | Classic, plush, highly absorbent, durable through frequent washing | Everyday nursery use, value retail lines |
| Organic cotton | Same softness, grown without synthetic chemicals; certifiable claim | Premium & eco-positioned baby brands |
| Bamboo | Exceptionally soft, naturally breathable, gentle on sensitive skin | Newborn & sensitive-skin ranges, premium gifting |
For newborn and sensitive-skin lines, bamboo and organic cotton are the usual choice. For hard-wearing everyday ranges, cotton terry gives the best balance of plushness and durability.
GSM & sizing guide
GSM (grams per square metre) sets how plush and absorbent a towel feels. Heavier is warmer and more absorbent; lighter dries faster. We produce to any GSM you specify — the table below shows the ranges buyers most often choose for baby. (New to GSM? See our full guide to GSM in towels.)
| Item | Typical GSM | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Hooded baby towel | 400–600 GSM | 500+ for plush, premium feel; lighter for quick-dry ranges |
| Washcloth | 300–450 GSM | Soft and quick-drying for delicate skin |
| Bib (terry) | 300–400 GSM | Absorbent but light enough to sit comfortably |
On sizing — babies grow fast, so buyers often size up for longer use. We produce any dimension; these are the common reference sizes:
| Stage | Reference size |
|---|---|
| Newborn / infant | ~75 × 75 cm (30 × 30 in) |
| Toddler | ~90 × 90 cm (35 × 35 in) and up |
| Washcloth | ~25 × 25 cm to 30 × 30 cm |
Caring for baby towels
A few simple care steps keep baby towels soft, absorbent and long-lasting — worth printing on your hang tags or care labels for retail:
- Wash before first use to maximise absorbency and remove any lint.
- Wash warm or cool with a mild detergent — gentle on delicate skin and on the fibres.
- Avoid fabric softener. It coats the loops and reduces absorbency over time — the opposite of what a baby towel needs.
- Avoid bleach on coloured and trimmed items to protect the dye and the blush borders.
- Tumble dry low or line dry; a brief tumble helps keep the pile soft and fluffy.
We can supply printed care labels and instruction tags in your branding as part of a private-label programme.
Certifications & safety
On anything that touches a baby's skin, certification isn't a nice-to-have — it's the first thing a serious buyer checks. Our cotton and bamboo baby range carries:
- OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 — Class I — the strictest class, reserved for products in direct contact with a baby's skin. Tested free from harmful substances.
- Better Cotton Initiative — cotton sourced through more sustainable, responsible farming.
- amfori BSCI — audited social compliance across our facility.
- ISO 9001 — quality management.
Our waterproof bibs and changing mats use an Oxford-weave PUL fabric for their wipe-clean, leak-resistant layer. Ask us for the specific certification scope on PUL-backed items when you enquire, so it matches your market's requirements exactly.

Buyer FAQ
Most baby hooded towels sit between 400 and 600 GSM. 500 GSM and above gives a plush, warm, highly absorbent feel for premium ranges; lighter weights dry faster and suit value lines. We manufacture to any GSM you specify.
