Let me start by saying, this Spasilk baby bathrobe set is absolutely adorable! The first thing I noticed was how soft the terry cotton material feels against the skin. It's not 'butter soft' as some might expect, but it's definitely gentle enough for a baby's delicate skin without being rough or irritating.
After six months of use and countless washes (yes, even on the heavy-duty cycle!), this robe has held up remarkably well. The color hasn't faded, and the fabric maintains its integrity – no pilling or excessive lint shedding that some reviewers mentioned. Though I did notice a bit of lint initially, it wasn't anything a quick wash couldn't fix.
The included booties are just too cute for words! They complete the set perfectly and stay on surprisingly well during those post-bath cuddle sessions. The hood is a nice touch too, keeping my little one's head warm when coming out of the bath.
Now about sizing – this is where you need to pay attention. While labeled as 'one size,' it definitely runs small. It fit my newborn perfectly but would likely be too snug by 3-4 months. If your baby is already 9 months old, you might want to look for a larger size option.
As a baby shower gift (which is how we received ours), this set is absolutely perfect. It comes packaged nicely and has that premium feel without the premium price tag. The quality-to-price ratio is excellent, making it a great value purchase.
Would I recommend it? Absolutely – especially for newborns or as a gift. Just keep the sizing in mind if ordering for an older baby!
