When Meera was expecting her second baby, she opened a big box of tiny clothes saved from her first child.
Half of them were faded.
A few had stretched out necklines.
Some felt rough, even though they were barely worn.
She sighed.
“Baby clothes should last longer than two months,” she thought.
The frustration every parent knows
Most newborn clothes look adorable in the beginning , soft, cute, perfect for photos.
But after a few washes?
They lose shape. They pill. They shrink.
And before you know it, they end up in the “maybe later” pile.
Meera didn’t want to repeat that cycle with her second baby.
She needed basics that were soft and strong.
How she discovered something different
A friend gifted her a small bundle from Simply Soft — a few interlock bodysuits, a couple of bibs, and a soft tee.
The first thing she noticed was the fabric.
Thicker, smoother, and stretchier than the usual cotton.
It felt like something that would survive real life , feeding, drooling, rolling, washing, drying, repeating.
The real test: washing day
After two weeks, Meera tossed the clothes into the washing machine, expecting the usual outcome , stretched necklines and stiffness.
But when she took them out, the fabric looked the same.
The shape stayed.
The softness stayed.
The colour stayed.
“Okay… this is new,” she thought.
Months later
Her second baby arrived.
Those same pieces became their everyday essentials.
Then came the real surprise.
When her first child , now a toddler , found one of the old Simply Soft tees, she wanted to wear it as a “home T-shirt.”
And it still fit.
Still soft.
Still in shape.
The moment it clicked
Meera looked at the tiny clothes in her hands and realised something simple:
Good basics don’t just look cute.
They last.
They survive two babies.
Sometimes even three.
Why the fabric made the difference
Interlock cotton is:
Double-knit
Smoother
Less likely to stretch out
Naturally durable
Soft even after many washes
That’s why Simply Soft pieces often get passed down instead of thrown away.
A quiet, practical win
Meera now says,
“These are the only clothes I kept for my second baby that still feel new.”
And in a world full of tiny outfits that last only a month…
finding something that lasts two babies feels like a small miracle.
