When it comes to sleepwear, you know my love for 100% cotton pajamas. To be honest, I aim to buy mostly all cotton clothing for my kids and myself. Cotton is a natural fiber that’s soft, breathable, and comfortable for little ones and grown-ups alike. I especially love choosing cotton pajamas for babies and toddlers, where breathable, comfortable options are important for delicate skin. 

In this post, I’m sharing my favorite cotton pajamas for the whole family. You’ll find options for babies, toddlers, women, and men. Even some matching pajamas for the holidays! 

Organic Cotton Pajamas

I always opt for natural fibers when I can, especially on my kids’ skin. So when I find good clothing that’s 100% cotton, I love it! When it’s GOTS-certified organic cotton, that’s even better. When you see the GOTS certification, that means it prohibits or restricts many chemicals used in the textile processing, including certain dyes, solvents, and finishing agents.

Some of our favorite brands that make GOTS-certified organic cotton pajamas for kids are:

• Burt’s Bees Baby
• Little Planet by Carter’s
• Monica + Andy
• Honest Baby (check tags)
• Owlivia

Our go-to brand for cotton pajamas for littles is Burt’s Bees. Their pajamas are 100% GOTS-certified organic cotton and they come in so many playful designs.

Bonus: The two-piece pajama sets come in the same prints as the baby sleepers, so siblings can match.
