Sizing
Measurements are a guide only; some styles may be sized differently and have different measurements. For instance, Aster & Oak’s Harem Pants have a different waist and hip to their leggings, and the girls’ tees are a slimmer fit than the boys’ tees. As babies grow so differently, often age is not the best indicator of size. Therefore, the size chart includes weight and height to help you select the right size.
Please note: Aster & Oak clothing is cut generously to allow room for growth and will generally fit well beyond the recommended age.

Why Organic Cotton?
Clothing your little ones in standard cotton may seem like the natural choice, but are you surprised to hear that it isn’t necessarily the safest one? During the production of non-organic cotton, lots of harsh chemicals and pesticides are sprayed onto the cotton plants. These chemicals have been directly linked to cancer, neurological impairment, and reproductive problems. By opting for organic cotton, you’re protecting your baby from exposure to these harmful chemicals + making a socially responsible decision to care for our environment, which after-all, is for the benefit of the future of our little ones. So is organic cotton clothing better for your baby? It’s by far the safest option and there are so many benefits to clothing our children in organic cotton, some of them more widely known than others. Let’s take a peek at some of the benefits!
WHY CERTIFIED?
The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) is the name of the governing body that oversees the certification criteria of organic cotton right around the world. Certification is critical in ensuring companies comply with the criteria necessary to have their products classified as truly organic. When purchasing organic, it’s important that you ensure products are GOTS certified because unfortunately any company can lay false and misleading claims to an organic product otherwise.
Certified farmers understand that healthy cotton promotes healthy living. They start with a clean slate, ridding their farms of all harmful substances before they start growing organic crops. Farms must be free from pesticides for three years before farming of organic cotton can commence. From the moment the seeds are sewn into the soil, right through to the finished product on the shop floor (or internet website in our case!) every process is a natural one. Organic cotton is the natural choice, when only the best will do.
WHY ORGANIC?
Certified Organic cotton is grown without the use of harmful pesticides, herbicides and chemical fertilisers whereas conventional cotton-growing techniques rely heavily on these nasties to control the quality of the soil. Ordinarily, cotton is processed using dyes, bleach, and a host of other unhealthy chemicals that have been attributed to allergies, eczema, and even cancer. Organic cotton, on the other hand, is free from all artificial additives as well as free from formaldehyde, which has been classified as a cancer-causing agent by the International Institute for Research on Cancer.
Did you know that globally cotton covers 2.5% of the world’s cultivated land, yet it uses 16%-25% of the world’s insecticides, more than any other single major crop? And five of the top nine pesticides used on conventional cotton in the US alone, are known to be cancer-causing chemicals? These are just a couple of the many statistics that are now widely available to demonstrate the harmful effects of conventional cotton.
SAFE AND GENTLE
Babies have incredibly sensitive skin that is more porous and absorbent than adult skin. Similarly to the way parents carefully consider the type of shampoo or body wash to use on their baby, the textiles in clothing should also be considered because it comes into such close contact with a baby’s skin. When wearing conventional cotton, your baby spends 24 hours a day in clothing laced with chemicals. These chemicals are designed to remain in the textiles for life and even after washing it’s been scientifically proven they retain these chemicals for the entire lifespan of the garment.
Because organic cotton is pure and isn’t treated with anti-static, anti-wrinkle pesticides and all the other toxic chemicals that ordinarily goes into making cotton, it’s highly absorbent and breathes beautifully. People with allergies and sensitivity to chemicals especially benefit and we can certainly also celebrate the fact that certified organic cotton doesn’t leave any harmful side effects on the environment.
ADDITIONAL BENEFITS…
Organic cotton is highly durable which means garments represent real value. Not only will they last longer and can be passed on to other children, but you’ll also save money as well as the environment in the long run. Because the fibers haven’t been deconstructed as chemicals are added, organic cotton doesn’t pill easily or trap odors as much as conventional cotton. It’s environmentally safe and by selecting organic cotton you’re making a socially responsible decision to care for our environment, which after-all, is for the benefit of the future of our little ones.
PURE LUXURY!
Certified organic cotton feels simply luxurious! It’s dramatically softer than conventional cotton because it hasn’t been assaulted with chemicals and pesticides and is grown and manufactured in as natural state as possible.
You must try it for yourself. Once you go organic, you’ll never go back!
About Aster & Oak
Established in 2014, Aster & Oak was born from one mum’s journey to ease her children’s allergies and eczema naturally.
As a mum of two, founder Melissa struggled to find baby clothes that ticked all her boxes – allergy-friendly for her son’s eczema-prone skin; non-toxic; wholly natural and ethically made. Frustrated with the lack of organic baby clothing available in Australia, Melissa decided to create them herself, sketching and designing the first few seasons at home on her lounge room floor.
Aster & Oak remains a family-owned business today. Melissa and her husband work together alongside a small team of local artists, who hand-illustrate each enchanting collection that’s now worn by families across the world.
Their ethics are high and their footprint is low. Aster & Oak garments are all GOTS certified, which means they do not contain toxic chemicals or ozone-depleting substances. They are made from organic fibres and processed sustainably using low-impact dyes. This allows delicate young skin to breathe naturally and guarantees our garments are amazingly soft on your baby’s skin and gentle on mother earth.
Aster & Oak believes that, together, through our daily actions, we can create a more sustainable future for our children and our planet. Each collection is designed and manufactured with love and respect for the world in which our children will grow and play.
Each collection is personally designed and manufactured, giving Aster & Oak full control over the entire process, every single step of the way. Aster & Oak is strictly organic, from the soil their cotton is grown in, right through to final production.
Aster & Oak’s stringent quality standards and product testing assure that every Aster & Oak piece your baby wears is beautifully organic, practical, and designed to last for generations.
