All parents think that their baby is the most precious thing in the world and all parents are right! From the moment of conception, parents want to protect their child and make sure that the little bundle of joy has the best of everything. Parents will naturally ensure that anything that could potentially harm a baby or its environment should be avoided at all costs. And for some that means going organic. But while most people are aware of things like organic baby foods and lotions, there is a growing awareness about organic baby clothes.
Everybody knows that baby's skin is more delicate and sensitive that adult skin, and as such baby clothing is often made out of softer, gentler fabrics and materials and more and more parents are becoming aware that the clothing a baby wears can also affect respiratory development due to non-organic fibers such as cotton being treated with pesticides. It stands to reason then, that there are more parents than ever choosing to buy organic baby clothes.
By choosing to buy organic baby clothes for their child, parents reduce the risk on possible exposure to toxins that could potentially irritate and damage the baby's sensitive skin. Because crops are farmed in non-conventional ways, pesticides and herbicides are eliminated and a better, cleaner and healthier quality of cotton is produced. This in effect can be most beneficial to those working with the crops, and those buying the finished product of the crops. With children being exposed in many aspects of their lives to pollutants, organic clothing is a major step forward when deciding to provide a healthier, cleaner and more natural living environment.
More baby stores are providing customers with the option of purchasing organic baby clothes than ever before. And while the clothing may be a little more expensive to initially purchase than regular clothing items, the quality is such that it will usually outlast its non-organic competitor. While regular cotton will start to break down after approximately 20 washes, organic cotton will not start to deteriorate until it has been washed 100 times. Although cotton seems to be the fiber of choice for many parents, hemp, wool and silk are also available organically, and can make a perfect alternative to non-organic materials. By carefully choosing what their baby will wear, parents are helping the environment in many ways, as well as helping their baby have the best start to a healthy life as possible.
