You know the saying, first comes love, then comes marriage, then come the happy parents
with the baby carriage. For those of you who have just welcomed a new addition to your happy family the next hurdle is sure to be keeping baby safe. Every parent probably goes through all the rigorous steps and preparing the house for our little one to make sure it is baby proof in every way i.e. plug socket covers, baby gates, drawer and cupboard latches, installing nightlights, etc. There are all the apparent and typical things we do to keep our baby as safe as possible but how many of us consider the harmful effects that could be caused by the thing that is closest to baby at all times – their clothing.
Many parents are now turning to organic baby apparel rather than typical apparel to avoid
putting harmful chemicals and dyes against their little girls’ or boys’ delicate skin. Organic baby apparel is made with cotton grown without the use of pesticides or weed killers, which have been showed to have possible carcinogenic effects with long term exposure. Makers of organic baby apparel also have the environment in mind; cultivating cotton naturally as opposed to using the traditional toxins and chemicals helps reduce the amount of pesticides washed to the ocean and released to the air.
Not only is organic baby apparel the safest choice for baby and the most environmentally
friendly, but it’s also sturdier than traditional cotton. Organic cotton apparel typically lasts 100 washes or more before fibers start to break down where traditional cotton only lasts about 10-20 washes. Many parents also note that organic apparel is much softer than traditional cotton which further reduces the likelihood that it will agitate baby’s skin.
So whether you’re expecting or have already greeted your little one, be sure to search out
organic baby apparel over traditional cotton to keep harmful toxins away from baby and to
reduce your environmental impact.
