Dimples Cotton: Naturally Better for Summer
As the weather warms up, it's the perfect time to refresh your little one’s wardrobe with breathable, natural fabrics. At Dimples, we’re passionate about creating clothing that not only looks beautiful but feels good and does good too — for your baby and the planet.
Our cotton is soft, strong, and certified to the highest global standards. The yarn carries GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) certification, and our dyeing process is certified by OEKO-TEX®, ensuring it's free from harmful substances and gentle on sensitive skin.
Why Choose Cotton?
Cotton is a natural fibre that’s ideal for dressing babies during warmer months. It’s breathable, absorbent, and lightweight — helping to keep your little one cool, dry, and comfortable as temperatures rise.
Unlike synthetic fabrics that can trap moisture and cause overheating or irritation, cotton allows air to flow and helps prevent heat rashes by drawing moisture away from the skin. In fact, cotton can absorb up to 20% of its weight in moisture before it even starts to feel damp.
At Dimples, we use only high-quality cotton that's soft enough for delicate skin but durable enough to be worn, washed, and passed down to the next little one.
Caring for Your Dimples Cotton
Dimples cotton is designed to be lived in — and washed often. There’s no need for special treatment here. Simply pop it in the washing machine with your everyday laundry. It’s made to last and look good doing it.
Timeless Quality
Inspired by the joy of childhood and the beauty of everyday moments. You’ll find a variety of silhouettes, from newborn essentials to stylish toddler pieces, all made in our signature soft cotton and designed to mix, match, and move with your little one.
Our garments are made with care, built to last, and designed with timelessness in mind — so they can be loved now, and lovingly handed down later.

Congratulations parents! Whether this is your first or fourth bubba in your beautiful family, there is so much that can still feel overwhelming (or it’s a memory you’ve blanked out from last time!), but we are here to reassure you in those early days.
Also known as the fourth trimester, those first 12 weeks following birth while trying to navigate your baby’s feeding and sleeping patterns can be quite the whirlwind. This blog is designed to help empower you, educate you, and normalise newborn sleep so that you feel confident to understand and support your little love.
Let’s start this journey with “there is no such thing as bad habits when it comes to supporting your baby”. Yes, you heard that right! No such thing. Forget what social media, society or family/friends tell you. You do what works best for you and your family. There may come a time when those ways no longer work for you, which is totally fine, and we can change that. As you step into this new season remember you are nothing short of amazing and your little one is lucky to have you.
Sleep is not only a necessity for your baby, but also you! We all need it. Sleep enables the body to repair itself, replenish those energy levels and regulate brain functions. When I have had more sleep, I feel like a better person showing up for myself and my family. It positively impacts our emotional and physical well-being too.
So what can you expect in that fourth trimester?
It is a busy, yet wonderful whirlwind of events that can bring about so much change both physically and emotionally. Feeling like you need to just cry? Go for it! Don’t know why? Many of us don’t! Your littlest love is adapting to life earthside and you are recovering from growing them and bringing them into this world. Offering love, care and comfort is exactly what’s needed for you both.
With emotions running at an all-time high, it is important to focus on yourself too. I vividly remember my post-natal midwife coming for her first appointment and the first thing she said was that she was there for me. As a first-time mum I was slightly confused as I thought she would be looking at my daughter and making sure she was okay – and she did just that, but also had her focus on me. It is incredibly important to prioritise self-care during this time. That fourth trimester can be so overwhelming so making sure you prioritise your own body and mind will be key. It certainly may come with a feeling of guilt, just know that these are all very normal feelings & thoughts. Self-care is a necessity, not a luxury, for you both.
So what can you focus on in the early days in terms of sleep? Let’s start with sleep environment. Laying some healthy foundations from the get go will not only aid in easier settling but also support your baby to stay asleep and get those much needed zzzz onboard:
● Darkness - When our little one enters a dark room, their bodies start to produce melatonin (sleepy hormone). This hormone is produced in the pineal gland and fluctuates throughout the day and night. Ensuring a dark sleep space will help your baby flood themselves with sleep hormones and support settling and restorative sleep periods.
● White noise - This is a fantastic tool to use within their first 18m of life. It replicates those sounds heard in the womb, which in those early days bring them safety and comfort. It can also drown out any noises outside the bedroom that might startle or wake them. It also creates a consistent sleep environment and positive sleep association for them when building on your sleep shaping.
● Temperature - Keep the room a good temperature so that your little one isn’t too hot or too cold. Check this guide on dressing your little one depending on the temperature of the room. The temperature often drops around 3 or 4am and can often be a reason our little ones wake around this time.
Feel like you’ve nailed the above and bubs still doesn’t want to sleep in their cot/bassinet? We get it. And this is totally normal and expected – it’s different! Embrace those newborn snugs, strap your little one to you, be nap trapped, find a good series to watch, feed them to sleep, rock them, pat them, and swap out with the support around you if you need to. Your smell, heartbeat, skin feel and voice is their safe place of comfort (and of course it would be!). Spend those first couple of months getting to know your little one and understanding those hungry cues, tired cues and awake windows. Newborns won’t be able to settle themselves consistently until closer to 4 months old so contact and assisted naps will be your best friend. Your little one will rely on you to support them and assist them in getting to sleep. Setting up the right sleep environment will be key when you’re ready to begin supporting them in their own sleep space. Start one step at a time.
Awake windows and tired cues
Are they under tired, overtired or just hungry? Understanding these windows and cues will be key in having a more settled baby and parent! In those early days you will find those awake times are mostly spent feeding with a small gap at the end for a burp or eye-to-eye contact with you. An awake time is from the moment your baby wakes through to the moment they are sleeping again.
Awake Windows in those first four months can look like:
0-3 weeks: 45 – 60 minutes 3-6 weeks: 1 – 1:15 hour 6-9 weeks: 1:15 – 1.5 hours 9-12 weeks: 1.5 hours 12-16 weeks: 1.5 – 2 hours
Once your little one is nearing 4 months old you can look at a basic routine rather than awake windows. Our 4-7 month routine guide is perfect for this.
You will see that awake windows get longer as our little people’s sleep needs change and this will depend on baby’s age, time of day and whether they are going through a nap transition. In those first 6-8 weeks it is normal to see a later bedtime as our little one’s circadian rhythms don’t mature until closer to 4 months of age (meaning that they don’t understand the difference between day and night) and they may be cluster feeding to get those calories in before bedtime.
Being proactive and offering sleep before they get overtired is a great win. They are signs your little one is letting you know it is time to start winding down and getting ready for some sleep before they become overstimulated and enter a state of hyperarousal. Let’s have a look at some tired cues to watch out for:
● Clenching hands into a fist ● Pulling at their ears or hair ● Jerky or shaking movements ● Yawning ● Rubbing eyes ● Vacant look/staring into space ● Quieter/less chatty ● Grizzling ● Sucking thumb/hand
Feeding and partner involvement
Whether you’re choosing to breastfeed, bottle feed, formula feed or mixed feeding, it’s a journey! During those first 2-3 months your little one will look to feed whenever they can. This is what is commonly known as ‘on-demand feeding’. And it is just as it sounds – feeding your baby when they are showing signs of being hungry. What does this look like?
● Feeding every 2-3 hours (time starts from the start of a feed) can encourage them to consume more calories during the day and can reflect in longer overnight stretches of sleep ● Feeding on demand will help to establish breastmilk supply (if breastfeeding) ● If bottle feeding, follow their cues as volumes of milk will change as their needs change
Babies are really great calorie regulators so you don’t need to worry about over-feeding them. In those first 4 months your little one will feed frequently which can be very time consuming. They still have little tummies so the capacity to stay full for long isn’t quite there, and they may wake frequently to feed.
How can non-breastfeeding partners support routine and settling?
Research now shows that a non-breastfeeding partner’s role in supporting breastfeeding and home routine can be a game-changer! Figuring out how to tackle the day and night time as a dynamic duo can help your breastfeeding partner to feel more rested, and help you as the non-breastfeeding partner to feel actively involved in your little one's care. As we got into the thick of feeding with our second, my husband inspired me with how he showed me he was there with me through this:
● Dinner preparation & cooking ● Getting the bath ready for child 1 & 2 ● Supporting the wind down routine ● Doing the initial settling for bed after a top up feed ● Burping the baby ● Changing nappy in between feeds ● Turning the night light on overnight
Don’t underestimate the power of a small act of support in those early days. We have a whole blog around partner support that is a great read!
However you choose to support your littlest love earthside is nothing short of amazing. There is no wrong way to support them and if what you’re doing is working for you, then great! Don’t change a thing! Remember that there are no bad habits when it comes to loving, settling and reassuring YOUR little one. You are doing what works for you that is calming, comforting and reassuring to them. Babies can build on these and rely on them as associations to go to sleep get back to sleep but rest assured, these can be changed if they are no longer working for you in the future.
Creating a gift registry takes the guesswork out of gifting for you and your loved ones. While the journey of pregnancy can come with plenty of challenges, ticking off your shopping list doesn't need to be one of them.
