Baby Eczema Clothing – What to look for?

Sock Monkeys Clothing provides the following features. Each of these are important to look for in clothing for infants with eczema:

• Organic Cotton – unscoured (which means it has not been chemically treated for a whiter or dyed look), this will keep it from getting an odor after significant usage.
• Outside seams – having the seams on the outside of the garments prevents chafing and aggravation.  It also prevents the baby from using the seams as scratching devices.
• Covered hands – keeping the hands covered prevents fingernails from scratching – causing bleeding, scarring, and infection.  Rule of thumb – if they can take it off their hands, they will.  This is why Sock Monkeys Clothing has permanently-covered hands.  Can they still use their hands?  YES!  They can do everything they normally do – even eat cereal!
• Nickel-free snaps – most children with eczema have allergies (a primary contributor to eczema).  Snaps that are nickel-free avoid any allergic reaction to them.
• Tear-away tags - again, another scratching weapon to be avoided.
• Highly durable – these clothes will be worn frequently…likely daily.  Look for high-quality clothing that can sustain wear, tear, and sucking (it just happens).  You will save money in the long run.
• Satisfaction guarantee – you have enough to worry about already, don’t you?
