Organic Baby Clothing

Why Buy Organic Baby Clothing?

Organic cotton is healthy for all our planet's creatures, from children and wildlife to farm and factory workers. Clothing made with organically grown cotton does not retain toxic residues; it is a pure, natural, and breathable fiber. Organically grown cotton is not treated with pesticides. Organically grown cotton does not use petroleum-based fertilizers. The solution to this problem is to go organic. Organic farmers rely on crop rotation, not chemicals, to maintain and replenish soil fertility. In order to meet international organic standards and obtain organic certification, a field must be pesticide-free for at least three years, and organic cotton farmers cannot use genetically modified cottonseed. Organic cotton has softer, longer fibers than conventional cotton, so the resulting fabric is softer, thicker, and more durable.

Organically grown cotton does not use genetically engineered seed.

Organic cotton is especially great for infants and children. Whereas pesticide and chemically-treated clothing traps heat and prevents skin from absorbing adequate moisture—often causing rashes and eczema on sensitive skin—organic cotton is natural and breathable. Children with allergies particularly benefit, as organic cotton does not have the residual toxic residues that linger on conventional cotton. Even those without sensitive skin find organic cotton more comfortable and kid-friendly. The longer fibers stretch as children grow.

The best way to support organic cotton farmers is to use your consumer power wisely and support those businesses that make their products sustainable from the farm to the store. Select a store that creates children's clothing and accessories made with nontoxic dyes and no chemical bleaches or finishers. In addition, it important that products are made in fair-trade-certified factories that are monitored for worker health and safety.

Whether shopping for kids clothing, sheets, blankets or personal care products, look for organic fiber products. Your children—our planet's future—will thank you.
