What Burt's Bees Baby sells
The site navigation splits the range into holiday, new and featured, family matching, pajamas, baby, toddler and kids, essentials, gifts and sale. In practice the catalog is built around a few product types:
- Sleepwear. Footed sleep and plays for newborns to 9 months, sleepers for 12 to 24 months, two-piece pajamas from 12 months to 12Y, flannel gowns, and adult sets so the whole family can match.
- Everyday baby clothes. Bodysuit multipacks, tops and bottoms, jumpsuits, dress sets and hoodies.
- Outerwear. Sherpa and fleece buntings and jackets.
- Nursery and bath. Crib and bassinet sheets, reversible blankets, wearable blankets, bibs, burp cloths, washcloths and hooded towels.
- Gift sets. Boxed newborn and baby shower bundles, plus a build-your-own bundle option.
Fabrics, fit and sizing
Fabric and fit are the details that matter most with baby clothes, and the listings are fairly specific:
- Organic cotton. Pajama listings describe the brand's "purest layer" organic, GOTS certified, breathable cotton, with hand-painted watercolor prints. A typical sleeper lists 100% organic cotton for the body and sleeves and 98% organic cotton with 2% spandex on the feet. The pajama listings we read say made in India.
- Honeysoft thermal. A waffle-knit blend of 53% organic cotton, 44% TENCEL lyocell and 3% spandex, priced at $19.95 for footed sleepers.
- Fleece. Winter fleece sleepers are 100% recycled polyester and described as built for loose, unrestricted movement, so they are not organic cotton.
- Snug fit. The size chart says the pajamas are made snug-fitting because they do not contain flame retardants, and that sleepers must fit snugly to meet safe sleep standards. Sleepers for 12 to 24 months are described as a slim, snug fit, while newborn sleep and plays are relaxed and roomy.
- Practical details. Two-way zippers with interior zipper guards, snap tabs at the neckline, fold-over mittens on newborn and 0–3M sizes, and non-slip grips on footed styles.
The size chart gives weight and height ranges, for example newborn at 6–9 lbs and up to 21.5 inches, 6–9 months at 17–21 lbs, and 24 months at 28–30 lbs. It suggests sizing up if your child is in a higher percentile, and notes that the clothes leave room for diapers up to 24 months. The size chart page does not cover shrinkage or washing; a separate product care page is linked.

The shipping page says orders are processed within 1–3 business days, Monday to Friday excluding holidays, and longer during sales. Everything ships from Aurora, Colorado.
- Standard: 4–12 business days via OnTrac, FedEx, UPS or USPS.
- Ground: 3–6 business days; no PO boxes.
- Priority: 2–4 business days; no PO boxes. Ground and Priority may not be offered during peak sale periods.
- Free shipping: free standard shipping on orders of $49 or more to a single US address within the contiguous 48 states. It does not apply to Hawaii, Alaska, APO/FPO or other military addresses, US territories or international orders, which may also take longer.
- Canada: 4–14 business days via Passport Global; no PO boxes.
The store does not publish a flat rate for orders under $49. It says costs are calculated from weight, dimensions, destination zone and speed, so you will only see the charge at checkout.
Returns
You can return eligible items within 30 days of delivery for a refund or store credit. Items must be unworn, unwashed, free of debris and have all original tags and packaging, and sets must be returned as a full set. The store does not offer exchanges, so a different size means returning the first item and placing a new order.
Returns are started online through Loop, with a printerless QR code or a printable label. If you added Checkout+ at checkout for $1.98, returns are covered; without it, an $8 handling fee is deducted from your refund. Not returnable: items marked final sale, the Baby Bee Box Deluxe Gift Set, Premium Gift Set and Baby Bag Gift Set, gift cards, and all orders shipped to Canada. Gift recipients can start a return through a separate gift returns page. For manufacturing defects or damage the store asks you to submit a request, noting that normal wear and tear is not considered a defect. The return pages do not say how long refunds take.
Who should buy from Burt's Bees Baby
- Parents who prefer organic cotton for sleepwear and everyday basics at prices close to mainstream baby brands.
- Families who like matching holiday pajamas, with sizes from newborn to adult.
- Gift buyers looking for boxed newborn sets or simple bundles.
Think twice if you live in Hawaii, Alaska or a US territory and want free shipping, if you need to exchange sizes often, or if you prefer a roomier pajama fit, since sleepwear is cut snug by design.

The bottom line
