Why moms are clothing their baby in all natural clothing
These days it is easier than ever to find organic products. There are specific regulations out there when it comes to labeling something as organic. When a product is certified as organic you know that it is produced in a way that is good for the earth and all who live here. Almost every major grocery store now carries organic food. This availability is the result of consumer demand.
For many of us it is a matter of health. This includes our health, our family’s health, and the health of the environment. Buying organic is part of a commitment to a healthier world. We have learned slowly about the importance of organic food and the dangers of pesticides and other chemicals. Buying organic clothing is a fairly new trend. Most clothing that is produced from a crop is made from cotton. Since cotton is not produced for food there is less regulation of the chemicals used in its production from the field to the factory.
All types of chemical are used to grow cotton that leach into our water and impact other crops used for food. Many people do not even stop to think about the safety of famers and farm workers exposed to these chemicals in the production of cotton. It is estimated that one pound of fertilizer is used for the production of a cotton t-shirt and pair jeans. There are several other chemicals used when the cotton is being turning into cloth for clothes.
Now think about your baby’s soft and precious skin. The skin of a baby is more fragile than an adult’s and absorbs things easily. This puts baby at increased risk when wearing clothing that has been grown and made with the use of chemicals. When you put your children in organic clothing you will reduce their contact with numerous toxins. Safe and sustainable farming methods are used to produce the cotton used in organic clothing. This means greater health for farm workers and the earth as well. By selecting baby organic clothes you are making a positive choice for your children and the earth.
