For sizes LARGER than 9 months is the flame-resistance statement Bloomingdale's requires on baby and kids sleepwear sized above 9 months. It belongs to the baby and kids one pieces department, covering footed pajamas, sleep-and-play sets, sleepers and blanket sleepers. The field is optional in the schema because most one pieces are not sleepwear, but when the garment is sleepwear above 9 months it must be filled, and it must carry one of the exact statements Bloomingdale's specifies. Unlike most fields in this department, it sits on the variant, so each size carries its own value.
The statement exists because of US children's sleepwear rules: cotton and cotton-blend sleepwear above 9 months must fit snugly, and anything that is not snug-fitting must be flame resistant. Shoppers see the statement on the product page.
The rules
| Rule | Value |
|---|---|
| Required | Optional in the schema; must be filled on sleepwear sized above 9 months |
| Length | At most 254 characters, spaces included |
| Form | One of the statements below, verbatim |
| Level | Variant, so each size can carry its own value |
| Blank when | The item is not sleepwear, or the size is 9 months and smaller |
Use one of these statements and nothing else:
| Garment | Statement |
|---|---|
| Snug-fitting cotton or cotton-blend sleepwear | This item is designed to fit snugly to help keep children safe. This item is not flame-resistant. |
| Flame-resistant sleepwear | Flame resistant. To retain flame resistance, use detergent only. Do not use soap. |
Do not paraphrase, shorten or soften the wording, and do not add a color or size. Because the field is on the variant, sizes up to 9 months can stay blank while 12M, 18M and 24M carry the statement.
Examples
| Situation | Value | Verdict |
|---|---|---|
| 100% cotton footed pajama, size 18M, snug fit | This item is designed to fit snugly to help keep children safe. This item is not flame-resistant. | Good |
| Polyester fleece blanket sleeper, size 2T, treated flame resistant | Flame resistant. To retain flame resistance, use detergent only. Do not use soap. | Good |
| Cotton sleeper, size 6M | Blank | Good, the size is 9 months and smaller |
| Cotton daytime romper, size 12M | Blank | Good, not sleepwear |
| Cotton pajama, size 24M | Snug fit, not flame resistant | Weak, a paraphrase rather than the required wording |
| Fleece sleeper, size 3T | Flame resistant | Weak, missing the care instruction |
Common mistakes
- Rewording the statement to sound friendlier.
- Filling the field on daytime one pieces that are not sleepwear.
- Copying the statement down to newborn and 6M sizes, where it does not apply.
- Marking a loose-fitting cotton pajama as snug-fitting; if it is not snug and not flame resistant, it should not be sold as sleepwear above 9 months.
How Osello fills this field
Osello treats this as an optional, variant-level text field for items placed in a baby and kids one pieces category on Bloomingdale's. For each size, the AI agent checks whether the garment is sleepwear and whether the size is above 9 months, then writes the matching statement verbatim, choosing the snug-fitting one for cotton and cotton-blend sleepwear and the flame-resistant one when the source states the fabric is flame resistant. Sizes at 9 months and smaller, and garments that are not sleepwear, stay blank. Because the value is per variant, it is not shared across sizes; review the size run once before you submit the listing.
The full list is in the Bloomingdale's field directory.
Frequently asked questions
Which items need this statement on Bloomingdale's?
Baby and kids sleepwear in sizes above 9 months: footed pajamas, sleepers, sleep-and-play sets and blanket sleepers. Daytime one pieces and sizes up to 9 months leave it blank.
Can I write the statement in my own words?
No. Use Bloomingdale's wording exactly: the snug-fitting statement for cotton and cotton-blend sleepwear, or "Flame resistant" with its care instruction for treated fabrics.
Does every size get the same value?
No. The field is set per variant. Sizes at 9 months and smaller stay blank while 12M and up carry the statement, which is why it lives on the variant rather than the parent listing.
My cotton pajama is loose-fitting. Which statement do I use?
Neither fits. Cotton and cotton-blend sleepwear above 9 months has to be snug-fitting unless it is flame resistant, so a loose cotton pajama should not be listed as sleepwear in these sizes. Check with the manufacturer before listing.
