Organic Baby Clothing
Posted on: August 17, 2011
Organic baby clothing are clothes made from organic cotton. This type of cotton is grown differently than conventional cotton. It is grown using natural compost and soil rotation. Herbicides are not used on organic cotton fields. Instead farmers use inventive weeding tools and manual labor. Pesticides are not used either, instead insect traps and the controlled entry of beneficial insects that naturally prey on pests are used. http://www.babygreensprout.com/page.php?idx=210
Benefits of Organic Baby Clothing
Organic cotton helps keep your baby healthy. Organic agriculture helps protect people’s health by reducing the overall exposure to toxic chemicals such as pesticides. Additionally these chemicals, even after washing, are still in baby clothing and will continue to release these harmful toxins. Babies’ skin is still developing after birth and is sensitive therefore having less of a barrier from environmental toxins. Organic cotton baby clothing eliminates these chemicals and can help keep your baby healthy. http://www.organicbabyclothes.ca/organic-cotton-clothes.html
Organic clothing is more breathable due to its pure and natural composition. Chemically treated cloth can trap heat, which prevents skin from “breathing.” This can cause rashes.
Due to it’s natural composition organic cotton lasts longer. The fabric is softer, thicker and sturdier than conventionally grown cotton, which will wear out quicker due to its thinness. http://www.purebeginnings.com/aboutorganic.html
