Onam, Kerala’s most vibrant festival, is a celebration of tradition, togetherness, and joy. Families across the globe – especially Malayali communities in the UAE – recreate the beauty of Onam with pookalams (floral carpets), Onam sadhya (grand feast), and of course, traditional attire. For parents, one of the most special parts of the festival is dressing up their little ones in festive outfits.
But when it comes to babies, comfort and safety matter just as much as style. That’s why organic and cotton clothes are increasingly becoming the top choice for parents during Onam celebrations.
In this blog, we’ll explore in detail why organic cotton clothing is perfect for babies during Onam, especially in the warm climate of the UAE, while still keeping tradition alive.
How Malayali families in the UAE celebrate Onam with cultural programs, sadhya, and dressing in traditional attire.
The importance of Kasavu-style outfits (white/golden) as a mark of heritage.
The growing trend of including babies and toddlers in family Onam outfits for photoshoots and gatherings.
Babies have delicate skin, and what they wear directly affects their comfort. During festivals like Onam, babies are often dressed for hours – making fabric selection critical.
Baby skin is 30% thinner than adult skin → higher risk of irritation.
Harsh synthetic fabrics trap heat and cause rashes.
Breathable, soft, and chemical-free fabrics like organic cotton ensure safety.
Difference?
Regular Cotton: Often grown with pesticides, processed with chemicals, dyed with
harsh colors. Can irritate baby skin.
Organic Cotton:
o Grown without chemicals.
o Softer and more breathable.
o Hypoallergenic – safe for sensitive skin.
o Eco-friendly and sustainable.
Onam in Kerala = monsoon season, but in UAE = hot and humid.
Synthetic fabrics cause sweating and overheating in babies.
Cotton and organic fabrics absorb sweat and allow the skin to breathe.
Ideal for crowded gatherings, temple visits, or outdoor celebrations in UAE.
Parents want their little ones to look festive yet be comfortable. Cotton and organic fabrics allow:
Mini Kasavu-inspired frocks for baby girls.
Cotton dhoti/kurta sets for baby boys.
Matching family outfits in breathable fabrics.
This fusion of tradition (Onam wear) + comfort (organic cotton) is why brands like Momukid are loved by parents.

Tips for parents:
Choose lightweight cotton frocks, dhotis, or sets with Onam-inspired embroidery or
gold borders.
Avoid overdressing with multiple layers.
Stick to neutral tones (white, beige, cream) with golden accents for that authentic
Onam look.
Add cute, safe accessories (cotton headbands, soft shoes).
Opt for easy-to-wash fabrics since celebrations often involve food/play.
Carry an extra outfit in case of spills.
Ensure outfits are tag-free or have soft seams.
Choose age-appropriate designs (buttons vs. stretch waists).
Today’s parents are more conscious of eco-friendly fashion. Choosing organic cotton:
Supports sustainable farming.
Reduces water and chemical usage.
Promotes a healthier planet for the baby’s future.
