Infant and Baby Needs

Of all organic fibers, organic cotton is a great favorite with people who are interested in green and clean living. Organic cotton is grown using methods and materials that have a low impact on the environment. It is also grown without the use of harmful pesticides. Organic cotton is grown using plants and seeds that have not been genetically modified or engineered for organic farming. The growth of conventional cotton uses more pesticides than any other crop and accounts for a larger percentage of the world's pesticide use. The use of organic cotton reduces the amount of these other chemicals from entering the environment. This specially grown cotton is soft and safe, and comfortable to wear. All cotton sold as organic in the United States must meet strict federal regulations which dictate how the cotton is grown.

Chemical-free dyes are often used in organic clothing and toys for babies. These water based dyes are made from vegetables and minerals, which are natural elements used to give color to fabrics in place of their synthetic chemical counterparts. These dyes create beautiful solid hues for fabrics, as well as great prints and fun, colorful screen prints for children.

There are many companies that are dedicated to producing chemical free dyes and paints for clothing and other products we use every day. This promotes better health and safety for family living and helps keep our environment cleaner as well.

Be alert and always look for authentic certification labels. Beware of marketing ploys with words such as "natural", "non-toxic", or "safe". Some clothes can be purely organic up until the day they are manufactured. When they reach the stage at which they are dyed or colored, it is then possible that other chemicals may be used; this is not 100% certified clothing. You do not want all of those unwanted chemicals in your baby's clothing or cloth diapers, which are up against your little one's sensitive skin for hours each day.

Truly 100% organic cotton clothing has to be carefully monitored from start to the finished product to be granted the official certification. Getting a product certified costs companies a great deal of money. You know they care and are serious about their products when they are willing to certify them.

Go Green and explore the world of organic cotton fabrics for babies and children. These fabrics are safe and soft, so comfortable and you can feel great about keeping baby healthy. There is also the added benefit of being able to teach your family about the environmentally responsible options that we all should care about!
