Best Baby Bath Towels and Robes

Cozying up in a soft towel after a dip in the bath is equivalent to a mini spa day for babies and toddlers. Aside from being extra comfortable, the bath towels you add to your registry or buy for your baby should also check off a few boxes to make them worthwhile. For starters, they should be large enough to last beyond the early baby stage (so, larger than 30 inches). The material should also feel soft against your baby’s skin and be made of material that won’t lose its softness through repeated washes. And with being in the spin cycle so often, your baby’s towel should be well-constructed and able to hold up until they're ready to graduate to a standard towel. 

We’ve rounded up the softest, cutest and best quality baby towels and robes that’ll keep your little one warm.

Best Organic Baby Towels

Whether cotton, Turkish cotton, or bamboo, the materials used to make these towels are certified organic. While organic fibers are not a must, they’re a nice option for babies with extra-sensitive skin or even skin ailments like eczema.

Best Plush Baby Towels

Who doesn’t love a big, soft, fluffy towel, especially after bath time? These baby bath towels are super thick and perfect for chillier weather, and if you have a baby who hates transitioning out of the tub, a plush towel might help ease them into it.

Best Muslin Baby Towels

Muslin is a lightweight yet absorbent material popular for baby care products like washcloths, blankets, and bath towels. It’s perfect for babies’ super-sensitive skin, and despite feeling luxe, is easy to care for.

Cutest Baby Towels

Are cute printed baby towels a top priority? Probably not. But are they nice to have and look at, plus just as functional as plain baby bath towels? Yes, they are. Here are some that are irresistible.

Best Budget Baby Towels

It’s a good idea to have a few bath towels available so you don’t have to constantly ensure they’re in your weekly wash rotation. Throwing in some budget-friendly options can save you a few dollars while you build your stash.
