Pashmina for Babies

A 100% Pashmina shawl makes a luxurious baby shower gift or gift for a new baby. Pashmina is the best material for a baby blanket because when sleeping under Pashmina wool, perspiration evaporates more readily, which helps regulate body temperature. Pashmina wool absorbs up to 30% of its weight in moisture vapor and then releases it into the air, being natures own insulator, warm in winter and cool in summer. Generously sized at more than 70 inches long, 100% Pashmina shawls make beautiful, luxurious baby blankets that are made from 100% natural fibers, which is important to some parents who choose only natural products for their babies.

The biggest concern people have about buying Pashmina for babies is the possibility of stains. Babies do spit up, and they will spit up even on fine Pashmina blankets. Pashmina is easy to clean, as long as it's done properly. The chemicals used in dry cleaning actually break down the fine Pashmina wool, so it's always best to hand wash a Pashmina. If baby spits up on the Pashmina blanket, just use a gentle baby-safe laundry soap like Dreft or an all natural, organic soap (with no dyes or fragrances added that could harm baby or the Pashmina) and hand wash the Pashmina in the sink or tub with cold water. Let it line dry, never twist or wring it out, and it will dry softer than before and perfectly safe for baby. Silk is also a popular material for baby blankets, but silk doesn't stand up to frequent washing or frequent use the way that Pashmina does. A Pashmina that is properly taken of and washed gently can last for quite some time.

Many babies have special "blankies" that they use as security blankets as they get older, a soft, warm, light Pashmina makes a wonderful baby blanket that new parents are sure to love. There are lots of baby products out there but many have dyes or added fragrances that are unhealthy for babies, even if they are marketed for babies. Since 100% Pashmina is made from totally natural fibers parents won't have to worry about baby getting a rash from cheap synthetic fibers being next to the baby's skin. Most parents of new babies don't have a lot of extra money, so they appreciate the gift of a luxurious Pashmina to use as an extra special baby blanket that can be used everyday or for special occasions like a christening or baptism.
