Baby Sleeper TENCEL™ - Bumble Bees
Baby Sleeper TENCEL™ - Bumble Bees
Eczema-prone skin gets opinions about pajamas early. TENCEL™ keeps this one off the list of suspects.
Bees, honey pots, and beehives — a sweet little summer pattern.
Forbes named these the best baby pajamas in 2025. The sleeper is the workhorse of the under-layer — soft against the skin, quick to change in the dark, and built to survive the laundry a newborn puts it through.
Material. TENCEL™ Lyocell with a touch of spandex for stretch. TENCEL™ is the wood-pulp fiber Lenzing spins in a closed-loop process that recycles 99% of its water and solvents, certified to OEKO-TEX Standard 100.
The print. Ivory ground with bees, honey pots, beehives, and tiny red flowers.
Construction. Fold-over cuffs cover the hands for the first few months — no mittens to lose — then fold back when the baby wants them free. A two-way zipper runs chin to ankle and opens from the bottom for diaper changes, the neckline is tagless, and the shoulder and crotch seams are reinforced where a sleeper gets pulled on and off twice a day.
Sleepers and sleep bags work together. The sleeper is the layer underneath — it isn't meant to provide the warmth on its own. Pair with a 1.0 TOG TENCEL™ Sleep Bag for a 21–24°C nursery, a 0.5 TOG muslin sleep bag for 24–27°C, or wear alone in a warm room above 24°C if the baby protests the sleep bag.
Why TENCEL™ for a sleeper. A sleeper is worn most nights and washed two or three times a week, so we match the fiber to the job: TENCEL™ Lyocell keeps its softness and shape through heavy laundering. Our muslin pieces answer a different brief — swaddles, crib sheets, and 0.5 TOG bags use Tanboocel® Bamboo Viscose for breathability in the heat.
Sizing. 0–3M, 3–6M, 6–9M, 9–12M, 12–18M, 18–24M. Size to current measurement. A sleeper that's too long bunches at the hands and ankles and rides up overnight.
Care. Machine wash cold and tumble dry low. Don't bleach, and don't iron the printed areas. A baby's laundry schedule is relentless; TENCEL™'s surface doesn't notice.
Safety & certification. Tested to Health Canada's Children's Sleepwear Regulations (SOR/2016-169), and to CPSIA and ASTM standards. The material is certified to OEKO-TEX Standard 100, and Loulou Lollipop is a Certified B Corporation.
Common questions
Are TENCEL™ pajamas better than generic bamboo pajamas?
For longevity, yes. TENCEL™ keeps its surface through repeated, heavy laundering. Because pajamas live in the laundry rotation, the fiber matters: TENCEL™ Lyocell holds its surface where softer-feeling knits pill. The pajamas your baby still has at 18 months are TENCEL™.
What temperature should baby's pajamas be?
Pajamas are the under-layer, not the sleep system. Match weight to the room: long-sleeve TENCEL™ under a 1.0 TOG bag for 21–24°C nurseries, short-sleeve under 0.5 TOG for 24–27°C, sleeper under 2.5 TOG for 16–20°C. The bag handles the warmth for you.
Why fold-over cuffs?
Newborns scratch their faces before parents can keep the nails short — every parent learns this in week one. Fold-over cuffs cover the hands without mittens that fall off. Around the 4–6 month mark, the baby wants the fingers free — the cuffs fold back and stay back.
