Best Baby Bath Towels

A good baby bath towel will quickly dry your little one and keep them wrapped up warm after a bath. See my buyer’s guide for baby bath tubs.

Whether you’re shopping for a newborn, toddler, boy or girl, we’ve searched the market to find the best baby towels around from organic to oversized hoods, we’ve got it covered.

Always choose absorbent, soft material towels like 100% cotton or bamboo (which is also eco-friendly, hypoallergenic and has antibacterial properties).

Choose a towel that will wash well and think about buying a large size so that you can use for you baby right through to their toddler years.
