]]>Planning a vacation with baby can easily feel overwhelming, especially when you are reminded of just how much stuff one tiny baby requires while on holiday. We’re here to make this part of your holiday planning process a whole lot easier. Here’s a complete packing list of all your baby’s travel must-haves to ensure that you have a fun and stress-free holiday with your little ones.
A baby carrier is a must and is an efficient way to move around while travelling. Invest in a light weight and compact carrier to help you move freely.
Bringing a stroller can be a life saver on a vacation. Not only can you move faster but sometimes your baby can easily fall asleep in it thus easing their and your journey. And when your itinerary involves a lot of walking, a stroller can be of great help too.
However, carrying a stroller can be stressful, especially when flying. It is important to be informed and check about the flight rules in advance on the airline you choose to travel with.
Most airlines don’t charge additionally for strollers as courtesy, but it is better to confirm before flying on budget airlines. The common rule is that you can check it in with your baggage. Make sure you go for an umbrella stroller as those fold nicely and airlines are used to handling and stowing them away.
The great thing is that baby clothes don’t really take up much space in your bag. Make sure to carry 2-3 pairs of everything so that you have an extra pair of change always. With diaper leak and spit up situations, it’s best to have extra clothes on hand for a quick change.
Our Softsens clothing range has the perfect day & night outfits that are designed from soft, gentle and breathable fabrics like organic cotton and bamboo to keep your little one comfortable all through your holiday. Click here to choose from our wide range of travel-ready onesies, rompers, jumpsuits, tops, shorts, leggings, dresses and much more.
Depending on your baby’s age and feeding habits, here are a few items you will surely need to pack.
Book/ Toys: Carry a nice, illustrated book or a few small toy items along with you so that baby has something fun and entertaining to play with during the journey.
Identification: It is always better to carry a copy of your baby’s identification. Keep proper IDs for yourself and your baby handy.
Most of all, don’t forget to leave your worries behind and focus on making precious memories with your family.

Shopping for baby clothing is so exciting BUT it’s also pretty easy to get carried away and buy way more than you need or will use. That’s why more and more parents these days are turning to the concept of a ‘capsule wardrobe’ – which is a great way to save money and create a more efficient and long-lasting wardrobe for your little one. Let’s find out how this works!
The concept of the ‘capsule wardrobe’ is based on the premise that less can be more! A capsule wardrobe consists of a set of carefully-chosen, high-quality, practical, sustainable and long-lasting clothing pieces that can be mixed and matched with one another to help you create a number of adorable looks! Since babies outgrow their clothes so quickly, this is makes it ideal for your baby’s wardrobe.
That’s not all! Building a capsule wardrobe for your baby isn’t just cost-effective, but it’s great for the environment as well! By investing in a limited number of high-quality baby clothes, you’ll end up with a treasure-trove of beautiful & sustainable baby essentials that can be passed on to your child’s future siblings, friends, family and so on. Having a limited number of clothing also makes dressing baby super easy & hassle-free!
Here are some essential tips to help you start building your baby’s capsule wardrobe:
• Choose ‘quality’ over all else. Invest in high-quality baby clothing that will stand the test of time, and can be recycled and reused over the years.
• Make sure you pick soft, organic, non-toxic fabrics. Baby clothing should always be made from soft, gentle & non-toxic fabrics that are safe on your baby’s sensitive skin. Choose sustainable & safe fibers like organic cotton and bamboo that are grown without any toxic chemicals or pesticides, making them totally safe for your little ones.
• Allow for growth! Always size up a little so that your baby can wear the clothing for longer.
• Pick a colour palette that appeals to you! Sticking to a limited colour palette is one of the keys to building a successful capsule wardrobe. This makes it really easy to mix and match clothing. Try and avoid patterns as far as possible and go for neutral or muted shades.
• Start off with 6-8 full outfits and 3-5 bedtime outfits. This way, you should have enough clothing to rotate, if you do the laundry 2-3 times a week. You’ll also need to supplement this with some seasonal pieces like a coat or jacket, depending on your weather.
• Fewer choices = Less stress. No more decision-making stress! Dressing your baby becomes so much easier and a lot more fun when you have fewer options.
• Support sustainable brands. Shop from brands that focus on making sustainable, eco-friendly clothing that’s better for our environment.
A. Keep it simple with Whites
You can’t go wrong with classic white outfits that can be used as base layers, or matched with any other colour to create a number of stylish outfits. These are the ideal foundation pieces for your baby’s wardrobe. We’ve got a range of beautiful white baby essentials to help you get started.
1. Simply White Long-sleeved Ribbed Bodysuit
2. Sugar White Ribbed Zipper Footie
3. Sugar White Top & Bottom Set
B. Pick your Base Layers correctly
Neutral bodysuits and rompers are the perfect base layer to help you create a wide range of looks. Sticking to a preferred colour palette for your capsule wardrobe will also make it easier to mix and match items without having to put too much thought into it, making dressing your baby super easy & quick. Our range of must-have baby bamboo basics features a number of soothing, neutral colours to fit your tastes and style.
C. Mix & Match with Neutral Top & Bottom Pieces
Purchasing a few high-quality top & bottom pieces in neutral colours will make it easy to mix and match them in different ways to create unique looks. Our super soft, cozy & practically-designed top & bottom sets come in a number of soothing colours that you can stock up on.
D. Choose comfy 2-in-1 outfits that can be worn for both bedtime & playtime
Babies spend a lot of time sleeping! You’ll definitely need a lot of comfy sleepwear that can also double up as daytime outfits if needed. Make sure these outfits are designed for quick diaper changes! (Zippers are a huge plus for this reason) Our soft & stretchy bamboo zipper footies are the perfect bedtime + all-day newborn baby essential and are available in a range of soft & classic hues.
E. Inject some fun into your baby’s wardrobe with rompers & jumpsuits that can be worn a million different ways
Let’s face it – baby jumpsuits are adorable! And when chosen correctly, they’re also extremely versatile. Go for solid colours that fit the colour scheme of your capsule wardrobe.

Pick colours that you can easily match with the other outfits in your baby’s capsule wardrobe.
1. Pack of 4 Purely Pastel Bodysuits
2. Black Bean Ribbed Bodysuit
3. Warm Mustard Ribbed Bodysuit
G. Choose extra comfy, neutral bottoms that can be matched with any colour
Your baby’s bottoms/pants should be (a) EXTRA comfy (b) Easy to put on and take off, and (c) a little longer to allow room for growth. Choose pants with a comfy and adjustable waistband so you can keep using them as baby grows. The length too can simply be adjusted by rolling them up a little if necessary. Light, netural colours are always easy to match. Put these on your baby essentials checklist!
1. Soft green Bamboo Bottoms
2. Boss Baby Textured Knit Pants
3. Sky Blue Oxford Shorts
H. Say TEES!
T-shirts are perfect for your little one as he/she grows. Once again, go for stretchy and slightly longer tees so that you can use them for a longer time as well. Make sure the neckline is soft, comfy and irritation-free for your little one. While solid-colours are easier to match, you can also stock up on some tees with fun prints & pair them with neutral bottoms.

2. Sweetest Thing Bamboo T-shirt

From sun & rash protection to gentle & breathable clothing and more, here’s your complete guide to baby skincare & clothing this summer.
1. Sun Protection for your Baby and the whole family
Sun protection is a must, whether you’re indoors or outdoors. UV rays are strongest in the summer, and sunburn can easily occur even on a cloudy day or if you’re indoors.
Prevent sunburn and safely protect skin from the sun with our SPF30 water-resistant Sunblock Lotion that provides broad-spectrum UVA & UVB protection for delicate skin, and is specially formulated with mild ingredients so that you can safely use it on your baby, yourself and your whole family. Lightweight, oil -free & fast-absorbing, it is enriched with Vitamin E, avocado & carrot extracts to protect and moisturize skin, & powerful Zinc Oxide that serves as a protective barrier between skin and the sun’s rays.

2. Gentle Organic cotton Essentials
Organic cotton is one of the best summer fabrics for your little ones. Organic cotton is grown without any pesticides and chemicals, making it really gentle & safe on your child’s skin. Organic cotton fibers are also extremely soft, breathable, absorbent and perfect for summer. That’s why we used it to design our collection of fun, colourful, & cute clothing for babies & kids.
Choose from our beautiful range of kids summer clothing that includes GOTS-certified Organic Cotton onesies, t-shirts, shorts, dresses and much more.
Redness & heat rashes are more commonly seen in babies during the summer. However, you can prevent skin inflammations and irritation with the right baby skincare products. Here are some summer skincare must-haves for your little ones.
Diaper Rash Cream: The summer heat tends to cause excessive moisture accumulation in and around the diaper region, causing diaper rash to appear more frequently. Prevent baby diaper rash by using a mild diaper rash cream at every change. Softsens Natural Diaper Rash Cream is a skin-soothing formula that’s enriched with zinc oxide and 6 powerful natural ingredients, designed to provide rapid relief from painful nappy rashes, skin redness & inflammation.
Baby Powder: Our mildly-formulated Baby Powder also helps absorb excess moisture & sweat from baby’s delicate skin, leaving it cool, dry and happy. This gentle baby powder can be used on newborns too and can help prevent prickly heat, keeping your baby much more comfortable in summertime.
Baby Wipes: Keep your baby’s skin fresh, clean, soft & healthy by wiping away sweat, drool & grime with our gentle, all-natural and extra-absorbent cloth baby wet wipes that safely care for your baby’s skin from top to toe. These hypoallergenic & dermatologically-tested baby wet wipes are infused with moisturizing lotion, hydrating jojoba oil and cooling aloe vera to cleanse, soothe and soften skin.

Swaddling is one of the oldest techniques used by mothers all over the world to help their newborn babies feel safe, secure and to help them sleep better. To know more about WHY you should swaddle your baby and the best way to swaddle a newborn baby, click here.
When choosing the right swaddle for your baby, it’s important to pay attention to the kind of fabric that it’s crafted from. At Softsens, we design a range of baby swaddle blankets, available in 3 wonderful fabrics: organic muslin cotton, bamboo and super-soft bamboo muslin. To help you choose the best baby swaddle blanket for your newborn, we’re going to spell out some of the differences between these 3 types of fabrics that are most commonly used for baby swaddle blankets.
Swaddle blankets come in a range of sizes, usually anywhere between 40″ x 40″ to 48″ x 48″.
Your swaddle blanket should be generously-sized so that you can safely wrap it around your baby, and can continue to use it even as your baby grows in those first few months. Once you stop swaddling your little one, you can continue to use this light blanket for so many purposes, such as a crib sheet, nursing cover, changing mat and so on.
Keeping these factors in mind, all our Softsens baby swaddle blankets are 44” x 44” in size, making them ideal for comfortably swaddling your precious little ones and perfect for long-term use.
Swaddle blankets are designed to soothe & comfort your little ones, helping them sleep better and longer. So, we believe that the prints & colours of your swaddle blanket should reflect that as well. Our range of baby swaddle blankets are available in 3 adorable collections that are made up of a range of beautiful prints and colours, designed to suit every style & preference.
