If you are in the market for a hypoallergenic yet luxuriously soft and stylish blanket for your little one look no further than Shi Shu Baby. Shi Shu Baby blankets are 100 percent natural handwoven 60% pure cotton and 40% bamboo. Each blanket also has a super silky sateen bamboo trim.
Tamre, the designer and owner of Shi Shu Baby, created the blankets with her son in mind. When he was born they received lots of cozy blankets as gifts. (Who doesn’t, right?) Unfortuately, his favorite blanket, like so many baby blankets, was made of microfiber / polyester, and caused him to break into a rash. That’s when Tamre decided to create her own baby blanket. In her words:
I decided to design a line of blankets made only of natural fibers. When I started researching alternative fabrics/fibers, I discovered Bamboo and fell in love with it’s qualities.Bamboo is antibacterial, soft as silk, keeps you cool in the Summer, keeps you warm in the Winter and most importantly…BREATHES!
We were lucky to recieve the Shi Shu Baby blanket in Lemon for Baby Girl. 
This is our first baby item made of bamboo so I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. To be honest, when I think of bamboo I think of floors or place mats. I couldn’t have been more off base. I was immediately impressed by how soft and silky the blanket is. The blanket is woven which gives it nice texture and adds to its breathability. The blanket’s yellow color is vibrant without being obnoxious. Shi Shu Baby blankets are available in four additional colors: blue, pink, celadon and lavender.

The blanket is a nice size, too. It’s 30 inches by 40 inches, but if you’re anything like me that’s hard to picture. I can tell you that my five month old can lay on it with plenty of room to wiggle and roll around.
In addition to the blanket, Shi Shu Baby offers the Snuggler. It’s a 16 inch square mini-version of the Blanket would be a perfect lovey. And, Tamre hasn’t forgotten adults. She loved the baby blanket so much she created the Shi Shu Home Weave Throw. It was even featured as a Premier Gift at the 66th Annual Golden Globes!
