How to Layer the Loved Sweatshirt for Cool Weather
Follow these simple steps to create a comfortable layered outfit using the Burt's Bees Baby Loved Sweatshirt.
- Start with a base layer: Choose a long-sleeve onesie or a lightweight cotton shirt. Because the sweatshirt has an oversized fit, the base layer should be snug but not tight.
- Add the Loved Sweatshirt: Slip the sweatshirt over the base layer. The French terry fabric provides warmth without bulk, so baby can move freely.
- Top with an outer layer if needed: For very cold days, add a baby jacket or fleece vest over the sweatshirt. The oversized cut accommodates an extra layer without restricting movement.
- Check for comfort and safety: Ensure the sweatshirt is not too tight around the neck or arms. The raw edge hem should sit comfortably at the hip. Avoid loose drawstrings or accessories that could pose a choking hazard.
Choosing the Right Size for Layering
The Loved Sweatshirt comes in sizes 0-3 Months, 3-6 Months, 6-9 Months, 18 Months, 24 Months, 2T, 3T, 4T, and 5T. For layering, consider sizing up one size from your child's usual size, especially if you plan to wear a thicker base layer underneath. The oversized fit already provides extra room, so sizing up is optional but can extend the wear through a growth spurt.
Keep in mind that the sweatshirt is made from 100% organic cotton, which may shrink slightly after washing. To maintain the intended fit, wash in cold water and tumble dry on low or lay flat to dry.
Care Tips to Keep the Sweatshirt Soft
To preserve the softness of the organic cotton French terry and the distressed graphic, wash the sweatshirt inside out in cold water with similar colors. Avoid bleach or fabric softeners, which can break down the fibers. Tumble dry on low or air dry to prevent shrinkage. The raw edge binding may fray slightly over time, which adds to the intended casual look.
