The Healthy Benefits of Using Organic Baby Clothes
Feb 10th, 2010 by Luis
Baby clothes are just baby clothes right? Wrong! Actually clothes in general whether they are for adults or for children are pretty much made the same way. Most conventional clothing is made of non-organic cotton which in turn is full of residues from chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and insecticides.
Then sometimes other unnatural materials are added into the cotton like rayon or polyester to name just two. Then the clothing is dyed and colored with toxic dyes and strong bleaches.
We then as adults put these chemical laden clothes on us and on our children and sometimes wonder why we have skin irritations, allergies, or other types of health problems. This same process is also applied to most conventional baby clothes. If this is not healthy for you as an adult, how much more for a baby especially a newborn who’s skin is much more sensitive than an adult’s.
The best type of clothes for babies to wear is organic baby clothes. The reasons are simple. First of all most organic baby clothing is made of organic cotton. This means that the cotton was grown in a sustainable and healthy way without the use of chemical fertilizers or pesticides.
This is not just healthy for your baby, but it is also healthy for the environment.
Most organic baby clothing is not mixed with other man made materials. It is usually made of 100% cotton. Toxic dyes and bleaches are not used to color or to whiten the clothes. Instead, all natural dyes are used which will not harm your baby at all.
This is important because most babies get in the habit of sucking on some part of their clothes especially their sleeves. Your baby will not have to be sucking in toxic chemicals when using organic clothing.
The use of organic baby clothes for your baby will also prevent them from having flareups, rashes, or other skin conditions because the presence of harmful chemicals is not there. Also, your baby will have a less chance of getting allergies because he/she is not breathing in toxic fumes that are released from the clothing.
You want to also make sure that when it comes time to wash your baby’s organic clothing you use a natural detergent to maintain the purity and the health factor of the clothes.
Using organic clothes for your baby is just another way for you to know as a parent that you are raising a healthy and true organic baby.
