Cailiekins is a new Irish family run business. It is run by 2 sisters, Jenny and Jackie, from Co. Mayo. They are focused on creating high quality products for babies and beyond. Their first collection was released on the 4th of November and features 100% 22 momme grade 6A mulberry silk bedding for newborns, children and adults. The collection features bassinet sheets, co sleeper sheets, cot sheets and pillowcases (both adult and toddler sizes). It came about because they recognised a gap in the market for high quality bedding for babies.
So why silk? Let’s talk about it- you might be surprised that it isn’t just a luxury, there are practical reasons for using silk too.
One of the biggest benefits of silk for newborns is that it stops them from developing a bald patch from rubbing their head on harsher fabrics. This is because it’s anti friction, so frizzy hair and baby bald patches are a thing of the past.
Silk is a natural fibre that’s breathable. This means that it’s safe for babies and beyond. It’s temperature regulating, meaning it keeps you and baby warm in winter but cool in summer.
It’s hypoallergenic. This is a biggie! Silk won’t harbour any of those nasty allergens. This is especially important for those babies that have skin issues like eczema and atopic skin. . It doesn’t attract dust mites and it’s a natural anti fungal fabric. It also means that you can change your sheets and pillowcases 3 times less often because it wont trap and hold bacteria like other fabrics.
It’s kinder to skin. Silk stops your skin being pulled and dragged as you move in your sleep.It’s also hydrating so it keeps skin and hair moisturised.
So what does all of this really mean? Better skin, better hair, better sleep for you and your baby.
