Protecting Your Baby, The Organic Way
By Jeanna Beth Graves

Are you doing everything you can to protect your baby, toddler, or young child? Of course, you buckle them in a car seat, you use a baby monitor, you feed them good food and the list goes on. But, are you doing everything you can? What about the clothes they wear? The blankets you tuck them in with? The towels you dry them off with? Would you wrap your child in a garment that had been dipped in chemicals that were initially developed for biological warfare during WW II? That is what some pesticides that are used in growing cotton were developed for.

There is an alternative. There is a way to ensure that you are doing everything you can to guarantee the safety of your little one. You can dress them, wrap them, and tuck them into materials that are manufactured from organic cotton. In today’s society we are learning more and more about health, fitness and living longer healthier happier lives. Many people are now purchasing only organic foods, and are staying away from the foods treated with the various array of chemicals and poisons that have been proven to harm us. Along with the knowledge of how the chemicals in the foods we ingest affect our health, we are learning more about the clothing we wear and the materials we surround ourselves with.

Babies are at an even greater risk. Their skin is thinner and more porous than adults. Think about how sensitive a child’s skin is to the sun. What do we do to avoid them becoming sunburned? We keep them covered and completely coat them in sunscreen. Now think about the clothes that you are dressing your baby in? There is no protection for the skin from the chemicals in the clothes they are wearing. There is no “pesticide screen” to put on them. There are however, clothes that are manufactured and Certified Organic.

Certified Organic is a title that is given to an item only when strict guidelines, made by The National Organic Standards Board, are met. Every step in the production of the item must be cleared as meeting the guidelines, from the soil where the item is grown to the processing facilities in which it is created.

At Organic Clothes for Baby we work only with vendors who market clothes that are Certified Organic. Not only are these clothes more comfortable, durable and in my opinion more adorable. They are a safer alternative for your little one. So, are you doing everything you can to protect your baby, toddler, or young child?

Other organic baby products that mothers can use are bamboo soap and lavender balm. It’s so easy to use on your baby. All you need is water and you’re all set.

Organic Clothing

Organic clothing, why not help the environment and look great at the same time, surely the personal feel good factor is doubled this way?

Organic clothing manufactures are growing fast and the price of these greener eco friendly materials are dropping too, which is good news for us and the planet.

What organic clothing materials are available today?

Organic Cotton

Cotton that is grown organically helps to protect and preserve our planet and the people that live on it.

The problem with non-organic cotton is that Globally it is one of the most intensively farmed crops and is roughly responsible for one quarter of the worlds pesticide use, creating a significant effect on the environment.

Jute (or Hessian as it is also known)

Jute is now the world’s second largest fibre crop after cotton. It’s use has escalated in recent years as it is a highly productive, durable and versatile plant with good environmentally friendly properties. Jute is fully recyclable, 100% biodegradable and possible to grow organically with relative ease. Its fibres are high in strength and durable, lending itself to organic clothing including jackets, footwear, luggage and bags.

What other clothing materials are good for the environment?

Recycled

Recycling can prevent the waste of potentially useful materials, reduces the consumption of raw materials and reduces energy usage, and hence greenhouse gas emissions.

Recycled clothing can either be bought as re-designed product, bought straight from a second hand shop or can be bought new as a fully recycled item. All three ways are kinder to the environment and can more often than not save you money.
