Our friends at JoJo Maman Bébé have very kindly sent us some of their bestselling products for us to test out and we have independently tried them just for you! Not only that, but they have also provided us with an EXCLUSIVE 10% DISCOUNT CODE to use across the whole website – all you have to do is put in NAME62 when checking out.
This week, we’ll be trying out the Little Elephants Baby Sleepsuit.
From the JoJo Maman Bébé website, this is the official product description:
“One of our all time bestselling pieces, the Little Elephants sleepsuit is an adorable option for new arrivals. And, with lots of co-ordinating items available, it can be used to create part of a beautiful gift. Our sleepsuits are made from the softest cotton, with smaller sizes available with built-in scratch cuffs to ensure the most delicate skin is protected.”
In addition, JoJo also promises that the sleepsuit has a supersoft touch, lined feet for extra cosiness, is 100% cotton and machine washable at 40 degrees.
DESIGN
At first glance, it is an extremely appealing garment that is clearly designed with a lot of care and consideration. The all over blue elephant print was simple yet very cute and appropriate for all ages. We loved the coloured cuffs and neck line and it is this attention to detail that JoJo is so good at. There is also a subtle JoJo branding on the back that is not at all intrusive. What’s more, for mums who love a bit of matching, Jojo also sells a number of items with this same elephant pattern, including hats, jackets, bibs, muslins, toys, swaddles, sleep sacks and feeding cushions. This elephant pattern is definitely a JoJo staple! We particularly like the hat, which would complete the ensemble and look absolutely adorable on both boys and girls.
The sleep suit comes in a wide range of sizes, from premature all the way up to 12 months. As we all know, babies grow very quickly but if you are in love with this particular sleep suit, it is good to know that they can be replaced as your baby gets bigger. The fit is true to size and the “newborn”-sized sleep suit lasted our test subject for two months.
MATERIAL
For extra warmth, we recommend pairing the sleepsuit with a vest worn underneath. It has the perfect thickness to be used with other bed linens and it is also a great item to put on a baby after the little one has had a bath.
The 100% cotton aspect of the product was very important, as it is the best option for a newborn baby and a must have for many mums. The sleepsuit is very durable since the cotton is thick and tough enough to sustain a lot from an active baby. It also washes very well, which is necessary for when a nappy unexpectedly leaks! After repeated journeys in the washing machine, it did not lose its softness or shape. A piece of clothing that washes well is essential to any mum, so it’s another plus in our books.
SPECIAL FEATURES
One of the features that we really liked, and was surprisingly useful, was the built in scratch cuffs. It was an unexpected benefit because it is a great way to help protect your baby’s skin – you might not expect your newborn to grow nails that would scratch so early, but they do!
Another great feature were the built in poppers at the front of the sleepsuit and down each leg, which makes it very easy to change nappies – a feature most appreciated during those 3am changings! It also helps with fussy babies who don’t like changing clothes as the poppers make everything a “snap”! (Sorry).
VALUE FOR MONEY
In terms of price, the sleepsuit retails on the JoJo website for £15.00. While it is on the higher end of the scale, you are getting a garment that is durable yet soft, and one that is vastly superior to anything you might get elsewhere. The detailing and quality alone is worth the price tag and you’ll be getting a sleepsuit that will keep your baby warm and comfortable every night. Jojo is well-known for its class and we think that the detail and quality is well worth the extra money. While this item is not exactly an essential one, we wouldn’t hesitate to buying another and we think this sleepsuit is a very reasonable splurge for your baby.
Additionally, this would make a great gift for any expectant or new mum. Jojo recommends pairing it with their Elephant Reversible Baby Jackets, Elephant Baby Hats, Elephant Dribble Bibs and Elephant Soft Toys for an excellent newborn gift set.
OUR VERDICT:👏👏👏👏👏
In summary: Jojo’s Little Elephants Baby Sleepsuit is a high quality product that is perfect for newborns who have the softest of skin. While a little bit on the expensive side, we think that the quality and thoughtful details definitely make up for the price.
