Sizing & Care
Do your clothes run true to size?
Many of our pieces are designed to grow with your little one, so you might find some styles run larger to accommodate longer wear.
How do I care for Ballu Baby products?
- Machine Wash Cold: Use a gentle cycle on your washing machine with cold water.
- Choose a mild, eco-friendly detergent
- Avoid fabric softners to protect the colors and stitching.
- Air Dry or Tumble Dry Low: For best results, hang dry or use a low heat setting to avoid damaging the fabric.
- Washing your products inside out is a great way to reduce pilling!
Will my Ballu Baby items start pilling?
Pilling is a common occurrence in natural fibers like bamboo and organic cotton, which are used in Ballu Baby products. It happens due to friction and wear, often when washed with rougher fabrics. While pilling doesn’t affect the clothing’s quality, it can be minimized by washing items inside out, using cold water on a gentle cycle, and air drying.
Pilling is a surface-level issue and doesn’t affect the quality or durability of the clothing. With proper care, your Ballu Baby items will maintain their softness and continue to wear beautifully.
Do your rompers and footies run true to size?
Our clothing is designed with a "grow-with-me" fit, giving your child room to grow. Some styles may run slightly large to allow extended use.
How do your sizes compare to other brands?
Our sizing may be more generous than other baby brands to allow for growth.
Magic Magnet (Magnet Safety and Usage)
Are magnetic closures safe for babies?
Yes, magnetic closures used in baby clothing are carefully designed to be safe. The magnets are sewn securely into the fabric to prevent exposure or choking hazards.
How strong are the magnets in your baby clothing?
The magnets are strong enough to stay securely fastened during movement but are easy for caregivers to open for quick diaper changes or dressing.
Will magnets interfere with my electronics?
The magnets used in baby clothing are small and unlikely to interfere with most electronics, but it’s best to keep magnetic clothing away from pacemakers and other sensitive devices.
Can I machine wash magnetic clothing?
Yes, our magnetic closures are designed to withstand regular machine washing. Follow the care instructions provided to ensure durability.

How do I know if bamboo fabric will fit differently than other materials?

What makes bamboo better for babies?
Bamboo fabric is excellent for babies because it’s ultra-soft, breathable, and hypoallergenic, making it gentle on delicate skin. Its moisture-wicking and temperature-regulating properties help keep babies cool in the heat and warm in colder temperatures. Bamboo is also antibacterial, reducing the chance of odors and irritation, and is naturally sustainable, which aligns with eco-conscious parenting choices.
Why is bamboo fabric gentler on skin?
Bamboo fabric is gentler on the skin because it has naturally smooth fibers without harsh chemical treatments, minimizing friction and irritation. Its hypoallergenic properties make it ideal for sensitive skin, reducing the risk of rashes or allergic reactions. Additionally, bamboo’s breathability helps maintain an optimal temperature and prevents moisture buildup, keeping skin comfortable and dry.
How does bamboo compare to organic cotton?
Bamboo and organic cotton are both natural fibers, each with distinct advantages.
Bamboo is highly sustainable due to its fast growth, requires less water, and offers a super soft, breathable, and hypoallergenic fabric that’s great for sensitive skin. It’s also excellent for temperature regulation.
Organic cotton, certified by GOTS, is grown without harmful pesticides and offers a durable, natural softness.
Both fabrics are safe, eco-conscious options, with bamboo focusing more on sustainability and softness, while organic cotton provides reliability and comfort.
Is bamboo clothing worth the investment?
Yes, bamboo clothing is often considered worth the investment, especially for baby products. Its natural softness, breathability, and moisture-wicking properties make it gentle on delicate skin, reducing the risk of irritation. Bamboo fabric is also naturally hypoallergenic and thermo-regulating, keeping babies comfortable in various temperatures. Additionally, the durability of bamboo clothing means it holds up well through washes and regular wear. While it can be more expensive than cotton, the eco-friendly nature and longer-lasting quality make bamboo a great option for parents seeking sustainable and functional clothing.
