In today’s world, we seem to be paying a lot of attention to what our children wear.Shoes, clothes, accessories, all designer made and branded, character clothing.it never stops.But we seem to be paying more attention to what our children are wearing during the day, and not enough attention to their sleepwear ?

Research shows that children will be asleep for about 40% of their childhood.It has also been proved that there is a direct correlation between a child’s sleep and their physical and mental development.We need to stop and think before we accede to our children’s demands for the latest sleepwear trends or dash into a department store for a rushed purchase?

With every good intention, parents try to do their best for their children, but we should be paying more attention to their sleepwwear.Childen’s skin is much more sensitive than adults, and can often have an adverse reaction to fabrics that aren’t natural, such as polyester and nylon, which stimulate sweating and don’t allow the skin to breathe.Some materials are very rough and can make the wearer itchy, sore and uncomfortable.

100% cotton is proven to be the most ideal material for sensitive skin.  It’s breathable, light, warm in winter and cool in summer.And if you’re looking for ways of ensuring your kids get a good night’s rest, then sleepwear from Midsummernight’s Dream made from pure 100% Indian cotton is the best choice.

And with plenty of satisfied customers of her French-inspired nighties and pyjamas, Liz Collins, owner of Perth sleepwear shop, Midsummernight’s Dream, says she gets great feedback from both kids and adults on the pure cotton sleepwear she has been designing and manufacturing for over 10 years.”All my customers tell me they sleep soundly when they’re wearing our pure cotton sleepwear, probably because the nighties and pyjamas have been cut a bit wider for ease of movement and French-seamed so there are no scratchy edges.”

She applies the same design and manufacturing philosophy to her children’s range, which includes beautifully hand embroidered winter and summer styles, pyjamas and dresses as well as sleepwear for babies.”The cotton we use is made in India, and is so fine, soft and gentle that it is suitable for everyone – even those with problem skins.   It’s soft and comfortable, and also washes really well and dries quickly which is a real bonus with children,” she added.

With all the modern day advances and consequent increase in allergies, we would do our families a favour by going back to the time-tested way of getting the healthiest start to the day – getting a good night’s sleep wearing pure cotton sleepwear.
