Birth towel made from organic cotton
Gives your baby a feeling of security immediately after birth.
Babies spend around 40 weeks in the womb and perceive their surroundings in the color of the womb. Sometimes lighter, sometimes darker. Depending on the time of day/season and clothing, but always in a slightly reddish tone. It is now known and medically proven that children who are wrapped immediately after birth in a towel that is similar in color to the womb have a better life and their breathing is gentler and more stable.
The better and gentler your child arrives in this world, the more relaxed the time that follows will be. This is so important to us that we have developed our own birth towel for you.
Our towel is the perfect size at 70 x 70 cm. There is a wide, practical hanger with which you can hang the towel up to dry. We had something printed on the hanger that we want to give to every baby that comes into the world.
"You just made this world a better place"
Material: 100% organic cotton GOTS certified
Produced: Turkey
Size: 70x70cm
Developed by us for you! No usage of plastic throughout the entire supply chain process.
Important: Please wash the towel separately or with dark laundry before use. Discoloration may occur here.
To keep your birth towel soft, absorbent, and beautiful for a long time, we recommend gentle care. The delicate cotton fabric is natural and untreated – perfect for your baby’s sensitive skin, but also more delicate when exposed to friction or mechanical stress.
How to care for your towel:
-
Wash at max. 30 °C on a wool or delicate cycle.
-
Use a mild, enzyme-free detergent (for wool or silk) and avoid fabric softener.
-
Place the towel in a laundry bag to prevent pulled threads from zippers or Velcro.
-
Do not spin or tumble dry – instead, lay flat to air dry.
-
Do not iron – heat may damage the delicate weave.
Tip:
If small loops appear, gently pull them back to fabric level – this will not affect the towel’s quality or absorbency.
With proper care, your birth towel will stay beautifully soft – a loving companion for those precious first days with your baby.

FAQ
Yes, they can! A study conducted by researchers at the University of Sussex, led by Anna Franklin, explored how infants discern colors. Using a technique called novelty preference, the study involved showing babies familiar and new hues to measure their reactions. The findings revealed that babies can categorize five distinct color groups: red, yellow, green, blue, and purple. This suggests that infants have an inherent ability to differentiate colors, independent of language development. The study provides insights into how the human brain processes and categorizes color from an early age.
The study primarily focuses on babies aged four to six months. There is less information on newborns, but it is generally believed that their color perception is less developed than that of older infants. Newborns are likely able to recognize only strong contrasts and basic colors like black, white, and red. The ability to distinguish a broader spectrum of colors develops in the first few months of life.
Study from 1994 by Russell J. Adams*†, Mary L. Courage*, Michele E. Mercer*
Systematic measurement of human neonatal color vision
We used a new time-efficient method to evaluate chromatic-achromatic discrimination in newborn (n = 36) and 1-month-old (n = 34) human infants. Results showed that 74% of newtons discriminated a 10.5 × 17.5 deg broadband red patch from all relative luminances of an achromatic background, but only 14% of newborns did so with a blue, 36% with a green and 25% with a yellow patch. Most infants who “failed” did so at relative luminances very close to the respective photopic luminance match. At 1 month, performance improved somewhat although infants still show clear evidence of discriminating only the red patch. These results, the first to be obtained from individual newborns with a method incorporating a systematic variation of luminance, imply that early color vision is very limited. Possible photoreceptoral and neural bases for these immaturities are discussed.
National Libary of Medicine: Infant color perception: Insight into preceptual development
We recommend using the towel to wrap your baby in right after birth, as it is familiar with the color environment of the womb and studies have shown that it helps the baby transition more calmly into the new world. Of course, the towel is also perfect as a bath towel for the coming months and years.
Our producer recommended washing the towel at 30 degrees, which is why you’ll find this instruction on the care label. In our tests, we washed the towel at 60 degrees and then dried it in the dryer, and had good results. Just make sure to wash the towel with dark laundry, as it may cause discoloration.
