The SoftKnot Cap | Desert Cactus (Midnight)
Buttery-soft bamboo that breathes, stretches and stays soft wash after wash.
This print says “Mama, I Wished for You”, there at every feed and every 3am change.
This bamboo newborn cap was made with mama in mind. Designed to complement our hand-drawn, joy-sparking prints, this baby cap adds a cozy finishing touch without the tight squeeze or scratchy feel of traditional newborn headwear.
Made from our signature viscose from bamboo, this stretchy newborn cap is buttery soft, breathable, and moisture-wicking—perfect for sensitive skin, hospital stays, and those first photo-ready moments.
Whether you’re welcoming baby home, heading to an appointment, or soaking in slow newborn days, this cap is a gentle reminder that comfort and sweetness can coexist.

Good questions
Everything moms ask before they buy.
Still wondering about something? Email us and a real person on our small team will write back.
Are they really worth the price?
Most bamboo pajamas are thin and start pilling after a few washes. Ours are 210 GSM, 10–20% thicker than typical bamboo, so they stay soft wash after wash, stretch to fit for months, and get handed down to the next baby. Every pair is backed by our 1-year quality promise.
What size should I get?
Tap Size guide above the sizes for measurements. Our bamboo has 4-way stretch, so each size lasts for months. Still unsure? Exchanges are free for 60 days.
Is it safe for sensitive or eczema-prone skin?
Yes. Our fabric is OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certified, safety-tested by a certified lab, and never treated with flame retardants. It's breathable and moisture-wicking, and gentle on eczema-prone skin.
When will my order arrive?
Orders placed before 12pm PST, Monday to Friday, ship the same day from California. Shipping is free with USPS tracking on orders $85+, and $7.99 under $85. Faster options are at checkout.
What if it doesn't fit, or she doesn't love it?
Returns and exchanges are free for 60 days. Items just need to be unworn and unwashed with tags on, and we'll email you a prepaid label.
Who is behind Raising Mama?
Raising Mama was started by Megan Stander, a mom of two in California, after her own hard postpartum. She spent 10 years in sourcing and production before making the pajamas she wished she'd had. More than 10,000 orders later, every print still carries a few words for mom.
How do I wash them?
Machine wash cold with light, delicate items and tumble dry low. The prints are fade-resistant and the fabric is anti-pilling, so they keep looking new.
Can I send it as a gift?
Yes. Add a greeting card and we'll handwrite your message inside for $4, or choose one of our ready-to-give gift sets. Digital gift cards are available too.
