Having the best quality sheets, wraps, blankets and towels is on any parents’ wish list. Highly recommended by Babyology reader Melanie, Babu answers that wish. A New Zealand company that creates some of the softest and most amazing bedwear and accessories, Babu is modern and their 100 per cent cotton confections will cover all of baby’s needs.

How many times have we all invested a serious amount of cash in what is supposed to be superior baby manchester but the sheets and blankets have irritated our baby’s sensitive skin or the towels have only lasted a few months? This has happened to me and it is always disappointing. With firsthand knowledge, I can say that Babu will not disappoint. My daughter has her own Babu hooded towel that is amazingly soft – the velour cotton is something else to touch. Alas, it is a baby towel and she has since outgrown it but it is safely tucked away for our next baby. These things are made to last.

One of the fantastic attributes of this brand is the cotton used: 100 per cent stretch double interlock, the end product being thicker and softer than any tee-shirt sheeting available. Also, the no fuss, classic colours will go with any decor or style. Don’t get me wrong, I adore bright colours, but for some reason I’ve always wanted to envelop my newborn in tranquil whites or pastels.

The Babu range covers newborns to toddlers and includes everything from sheets to bibs to onesies. Available in Australia from Urban Baby.
