avoiding flame retardant chemicals in children’s sleepwear: new jammies giveaway

I know I’m not alone when I say that some days my children don’t roll out of their jammies until well into the afternoon. And by afternoon I mean right before daddy walks through the door for dinner. Let’s be real. Jammies are usually involved in running errands around the city more often than I’d like to admit, but the thing is? They’re comfy. They come in adorable designs. And some days it’s not worth the battle to wrangle an alligator a two year old.

But stuff that worries me about having my boys in jammies for a minimum of 14 hours a day? Flame retardants, toxic dyes and not so natural materials. But the thing is, I’m kinda drawn to the brightly colored super cozy and warm (hello, it’s -50 here people!) fleece footie pajamas. And guess what? Fleece sleepwear (not all fleece clothing) is required by law to be treated with flame retardant chemicals.  (A tip I found on thedailygreen.com was if your clothing says “not intended for use while sleeping” it generally implies it’s not treated with flame retardants)

So what’s a mama to do to avoid the chemicals?

Get back to basics, ditch the synthetics and stick to natural fibers in a snug fit. And that’s just what New Jammies is about. 100% organic cotton that is safe, chemical free, dyed with non-toxic dyes and contain no petroleum by products. Their jammies fit snug and true to size and are easy to machine wash and dry (use a cold water wash and low dry to avoid them shrinking up).

New Jammies are available from size preemie all the way up to size 8 – this makes my heart sing. There is nothing that I love more than my two little boys, fresh out of the tub, smelling delicious and wearing matching jammies to bed for the night. I went with Wheels on my Bike for my boys to try. They have bright primary colors and the lyrics to one of our favorite songs swirls around the tops and bottoms: “the wheels on my bike go round and round!”
