Here's what new parents truly need: products that make daily life easier while supporting their baby's health and comfort. That's exactly what Mulberry Park Silks bedding delivers. When you give silk gifts for babies and toddlers, you're giving something parents will use every single day. Pure mulberry silk is hypoallergenic to protect delicate skin, prevent irritation, and provide genuine peace of mind.

Whether you're shopping for a baby shower, welcoming a new baby into the family, celebrating a first Christmas, or finding the perfect gift from grandparents, our Silk Gifts for Babies & Toddlers Collection offers thoughtful presents that combine luxury with real practicality.

For New Parents & Baby Showers: Silk Crib Sheets

When you're selecting baby shower gifts, think about what new parents will genuinely appreciate months down the road. Our silk fitted crib sheets are gifts that keep giving-night after peaceful night.

The Perfect Gift: 19 Momme Silk Fitted Crib Sheet

Crafted from 100% pure mulberry silk, our crib sheets are a luxurious foundation for your baby's sweet dreams. These sheets are more than a touch of luxury; they are a gentle embrace that protects and pampers delicate newborn skin.

Here's why parents love these sheets: Babies spend 14+ hours a day in their cribs. The fabric touching their skin matters enormously. Unlike cotton that harbors bacteria and pulls moisture away from skin, pure mulberry silk is naturally hypoallergenic, antimicrobial, and gentle enough for even the most sensitive infant skin.

Silk Minimizes Cradle Cap, Eczema, and Baby Bald Spots

Our 19 momme silk crib sheets help prevent and soothe common baby skin issues. The smooth charmeuse surface is naturally hydrating, helping baby's developing skin retain essential moisture. This makes silk particularly beneficial for baby skin issues such as dryness, eczema, or cradle cap. Silk's antimicrobial properties resist dust mites better than cotton-creating a healthier sleep environment that minimizes allergies and irritation.

Another benefit to our crib sheets: silk's nearly friction-free surface helps minimize those baby bald spots on the back of the head. Even the smoothest cotton has tiny fibers that pull at delicate baby hair. Silk allows hair to grow without constant friction.

Our Silk Crib Sheets Deliver Perfect Fit & Longevity

Each fitted sheet measures 28" x 52" with an 8" deep, fully elasticized pocket, designed to snugly fit standard cribs with no bunching. Here's a wonderful bonus: because most toddler beds use the same mattress size as cribs, these sheets transition seamlessly when your little one moves to a toddler bed.

Most importantly, our crib sheets are OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certified as safe from harmful chemicals. That's peace of mind parents can sleep on. Available in a palette of soothing colors to complement any nursery theme, these sheets make exceptional newborn baby gifts that combine beauty, comfort, and genuine care while providing benefits well into the toddler years.

For Toddlers & Preschoolers: Silk Toddler Pillowcases

The transition from crib to toddler bed is a big milestone. Make it special with a gift designed specifically for little ones.

The Perfect Gift: 19 Momme Silk Toddler Pillowcase with Hidden Zipper

Our toddler pillowcase is crafted from the highest grade 6A mulberry silk in a 19 momme charmeuse weave-ideal for supporting healthy hair and skin in toddlers and young kids. The hidden, color-matched zipper closure provides a sleek, secure finish that keeps the pillow in place (no more waking up to find the pillow across the room).

Benefits Tailored for Toddlers

Toddlers are active sleepers who toss, turn, and rub their faces against their pillows. Silk protects their delicate skin and prevents hair issues like bedhead, tangles, and frizz. The gentle surface helps reduce irritation, which is essential for toddlers dealing with eczema or sensitive skin. Like our crib sheets, these toddler pillowcases are naturally hypoallergenic and resist allergens, mold, and dust mites. Silk's temperature-regulating properties help prevent night sweats and overheating, supporting better sleep quality for your little one.

The Right Size for Toddler Pillows

Measuring 13" x 19" (toddler pillow insert sold separately), this pillowcase is perfectly proportioned for small heads and toddler beds. It is OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certified for safety.

Please note: Following pediatric safety guidelines, pillows should not be used in cribs for babies under 24 months. Our toddler pillowcases are designed for children who have transitioned to beds.

For Grandparents: Giving the Very Best to Little Ones

Grandparents want to give something that is truly special and reflects how precious their new grandchild is. Silk products for babies and toddlers hit that perfect sweet spot: they're luxurious enough to feel significant, practical enough to use daily, and thoughtful enough to show real care.

For grandparents shopping for their first grandchild, a silk crib sheet makes a meaningful baby shower gift that will be used from the very first night home through the toddler bed transition. For subsequent grandchildren, add the toddler pillowcase to create a complete set as the baby grows. These are gifts that create special moments: tucking a grandbaby into silk sheets, knowing they're sleeping in safe, gentle comfort.

A Wonderful Gift for New Mothers: Silk Pillowcase for Postpartum Hair

Here's something most people don't think about when choosing baby gifts: new mothers need support, too. Along with the recovery from birth and dealing with lack of sleep, most mothers experience hair loss between 2-6 months postpartum. This is a normal condition wherein new mothers shed all the hair they did not lose during pregnancy. However, the difference can be dramatic. The process entails a period of regrowth when fragile, new hair needs protection.

A 22 momme silk pillowcase for mom addresses this beautifully. Unlike cotton that creates friction and pulls at postpartum hair, silk provides a smooth surface that minimizes breakage, retains moisture, and reduces frizz. It's also gentle on facial skin-important for mothers whose skincare routines have taken a backseat to baby care.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is silk better than cotton for babies and toddlers?

Silk offers several advantages over cotton for infant and toddler bedding. Pure mulberry silk is naturally hypoallergenic, antimicrobial, and resistant to dust mites for a healthier sleep environment for little ones. Cotton absorbs moisture from skin, which can lead to dryness and irritation, while silk helps skin retain natural hydration. Silk's smooth surface is nearly friction-free, preventing baby bald spots and reducing hair breakage. It's also temperature-regulating, keeping babies comfortable without overheating. For children with eczema, sensitive skin, or allergies, silk provides gentle comfort that cotton simply cannot match.

Is silk safe for newborns and babies?

Absolutely. Our silk crib sheets and toddler pillowcases are OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certified, meaning they've been independently tested as safe from 1,000 harmful substances. Silk is a natural, protein-based fiber that is naturally hypoallergenic and gentle. The only safety consideration is that pillows (and therefore pillowcases) should not be used in cribs for infants and babies under two. Our toddler pillowcases are designed for toddlers who have transitioned to beds.

Can you really machine-wash silk baby products?

Yes! While silk has a reputation for being delicate, our crib sheets and toddler pillowcases are machine washable. Wash on a gentle cycle in cool water using pH-neutral, enzyme-free detergent specifically made for silk (we recommend Heritage Park Silk & Wool Detergent in the fragrance-free, hypoallergenic formula). Place items in a fine mesh laundry bag to protect them during washing. Air dry away from direct sunlight.

Will silk crib sheets help with my baby's eczema or cradle cap?

Many parents report significant improvements when switching to silk bedding for babies with eczema or cradle cap. Silk's smooth, non-absorbent surface helps skin retain moisture rather than drying it out, which is crucial for managing eczema. Unlike cotton that can harbor bacteria and irritate inflamed skin, silk is naturally antimicrobial and hypoallergenic. For cradle cap (seborrheic dermatitis), silk helps by wicking away excess moisture and resisting the fungal growth that contributes to the condition. While silk won't cure these conditions, it creates a sleep environment that supports healing and prevents further irritation.

What makes these good baby shower gifts?

Silk crib sheets stand out as baby shower gifts because they're both luxurious and genuinely practical. They address real concerns new parents face, including keeping baby comfortable, supporting healthy skin, and preventing allergies. The OEKO-TEX® safety certification gives parents peace of mind. And honestly, most parents wouldn't splurge on silk sheets for themselves, which makes receiving them as a gift feel extra special. They're the kind of thoughtful baby shower gifts that parents remember and appreciate.

At what age can toddlers use silk pillowcases?

Our toddler silk pillowcases are designed for children who have transitioned from cribs to toddler beds, typically 24 months although every child is different. Pediatric sleep guidelines recommend no pillows in cribs for infants under 12 months due to safety concerns. Once your toddler is in a bed and using a pillow, our toddler-sized pillowcases (13" x 19") provide the perfect gentle sleep surface. The silk benefits-reduced hair breakage, gentle on sensitive skin, hypoallergenic-are valuable throughout the toddler and preschool years. Many families continue using silk pillowcases for kids well into elementary school.

How does silk help with postpartum hair loss for new mothers?

Postpartum hair loss (telogen effluvium) affects most new mothers between 2-6 months after birth due to hormonal changes. During this time, new hair regrowth is particularly fragile and prone to breakage. Cotton pillowcases create friction that pulls at weakened hair, accelerating loss and causing tangles. Silk pillowcases provide a smooth, friction-free surface that minimizes breakage while hair goes through this vulnerable phase. Silk also helps hair retain moisture and reduces the frizz and tangles that make styling difficult when you're already exhausted. It won't prevent the hormonal shedding, but it reduces additional breakage and helps hair look and feel healthier during regrowth. It's a small gift that makes a meaningful difference to new moms.
