Quick answer
For the best fit, size up if your baby is between sizes, and always wash the Meadow T Shirt in cold water on a gentle cycle to prevent shrinkage and preserve the organic cotton fabric.
Why sizing matters for baby t shirts
Babies grow quickly, and a t shirt that fits perfectly today may be snug in a month. The Meadow T Shirt is designed with a loose fit that allows room for growth, but choosing the right starting size helps avoid premature outgrowing. If your baby is close to the upper end of a size range, consider the next size up for longer wear.
Organic cotton care basics
Organic cotton is softer and more breathable than conventional cotton, but it can shrink if exposed to high heat. The Meadow T Shirt's fabric needs gentle treatment to maintain its shape and feel. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners, which break down natural fibers over time.
Step-by-step care and sizing guide
- Check the size chart: Measure your baby's chest and length, then compare with the Meadow T Shirt size chart. If measurements fall between sizes, choose the larger size for longer use. A t shirt that is slightly loose is safer than one that is too tight.
- Wash in cold water: Turn the t shirt inside out and machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water (30°C or below). Hot water can shrink organic cotton and fade prints. Cold water preserves both fabric and print quality.
- Air dry or tumble dry low: Lay flat or hang to dry away from direct sunlight. If using a dryer, select the lowest heat setting and remove while slightly damp to avoid over-drying and shrinkage. High heat is the main cause of shrinkage in organic cotton.
- Skip fabric softener and bleach: Use a mild, baby-safe detergent. Fabric softener coats the fibers and reduces breathability; bleach weakens the organic cotton over time. Stick to gentle detergents to keep the fabric soft naturally.
