The best newborn clothing material is comfortable, washable and appropriate for the season. Fabric fibre matters, but construction, fit, dyes, seams and care instructions matter too. Check the actual product label rather than relying only on a marketing description.
Cotton is popular for vests and babygrows because it is soft, familiar and generally easy to wash. Different knits and weights behave differently, so feel the fabric and check the care label.
Organic describes how the fibre was grown; it does not automatically tell you everything about the finished garment. If environmental or chemical standards matter to you, look for a recognised certification and read what it covers.
