Would You Wrap Your Baby In Oil?

Polyester Is Made From Petroleum – Oil

The popular fleece so loved for baby blankets is made from a nonrenewable resource - oil.  The very same expensive product we pay so much for to fuel our cars and keep our homes warm when it is cold.  Think about the density of oil.  Can you imagine air getting through it?  It is thick, sticky, and when there is a spill the birds can only be helped by being caught and washed off by human hands or they will lose their lives.

A Natural Alternative

In contrast cotton flannel fabric is made from a renewable resource, a plant.  It is grown each new season to be harvested and processed for making into comfortable, breathable fabrics.  When they make it into the cotton flannel it is brushed for a soft surface to provide the warmth we need but yet it will breath to let air move through it.

If you research SIDS, Sudden Infant Death Syndrom, you will read that babies need to be snuggly wrapped into a swaddling blanket but it is very important for the blanket to be made of a fiber that will breathe to keep the baby cooled when necessary.  A natural fiber blanket from cotton or wool is the best to use.  Stay away from polyester and acrylic, both man-made fibers.  The swaddling blanket should be lightweight and other quilts and pillows should be kept out of the crib.

CAN WE INFLUENCE FABRIC DESIGN?

Three years ago with the creation of www.flannels4baby.com we were able to have a flannel print available we called “Jesus Loves Me”.  This proved to be our best seller until we could not get any of it.  We believe it is the reason our website was launched so quickly.  Since these cotton flannel prints have not been available many of you have inquired about them.  I have mentioned your desire to find print fabric like these to several fabric companies.  Let’s let the people making decisions about fabric design know that there are customers out there looking for inspirational flannel prints.

I believe if we can give these companies direction about types of designs and colors we need for our sewing projects that we will be able to find them down the road.  We wouldn’t have them available to us in the near future, but maybe by next year they might try a couple of prints. 

Let me hear from you, the customers.  Let’s get a dialog going that we can take to the fabric companies so we find what we are looking for.
