GET KIDS TO SLEEP THEIR WAY TO GOOD HEALTH

Children’s wardrobes are getting a lot of attention these days.Brand names, designer clothing, head-to-toe outfits with the cartoon character of the moment.the demands are endless.But we seem to be paying more attention to what our children are wearing during the day, and not enough attention to their sleepwear ?

Research shows that children will be asleep for about 40% of their childhood.According to research, there is also a clear link between children's sleep and their mental and physical development.Let's ask ourselves, why don't we spend more time looking for healthier sleepwear choices for our kids instead of dashing into the shops for a quick purchase or give in to their demands for the latest craze?

With every good intention, parents try to do their best for their children, but we should be paying more attention to their sleepwwear.Sometimes, young sensitive skin can react badly to fabrics such as nylon and polyester, which are not natural fabrics and which prevent the skin from breathing properly.The rough nature of some materials can make kids very itchy, and even cause rashes and soreness.

100% cotton is proven to be the most ideal material for sensitive skin.Whatever the season - light in summer and cosy in winter, breathable cotton is always the way to go.And if you're looking for ways of ensuring your kids get a good night's rest, then sleepwear from Midsummernight's Dream made from pure 100% Indian cotton is the best choice.

Liz Collins has been designing and retailing French-inspired sleepwear for adults and children from her Perth shop and website for over 10 years and says her customers provide the best research sample."All my customers tell me they sleep soundly when they're wearing our pure cotton sleepwear, probably because the nighties and pyjamas have been cut a bit wider for ease of movement and French-seamed so there are no scratchy edges.”

She applies the same design and manufacturing philosophy to her children’s range, which includes beautifully hand embroidered winter and summer styles, pyjamas and dresses as well as sleepwear for babies.  “We source the finest quality cotton from India, which is gentle on sensitive skin and hypoallergenic.Pure cotton washes and dries easily and doesn't lose any of its comfort or softness, which is a huge help with children around," she said.

With allergies on the increase, we should be looking at giving ourselves and our families the best chance at stopping these in their tracks, and one way is to wrap ourselves and our families in pure cotton sleepwear to ensure a healthy kickstart to the day from a good night's rest.
