Benifits of Raising your Children with Organic Children"s Clothing

Organic fabrics are helpful to the environment by having a minimal effect on the soil as well as the ground water.  With fun and comfortable organic clothes as part of our everday habits, we contribute to the health of our lives just as eating organic food; limiting use of plastics; riding, walking, biking or using public transportation instead of getting in our cars and driving to our destination. 

Organic Children’s clothing is made without pesticides, fertilizers, and chemicals that are normally used in growing and manufacturing fabrics used in clothing. These pesticides, fertilizers, and chemicals in the environment contribute to allergies, eczema, birth defects, respiratory difficulties and sometime, even developmental problems and, in rare cases, death.  Why increase the exposure in our clothing?  Beginning in early days of a child’ life, this exposure can be reduced by choosing to use clothing, bath care items, bedding and  even utensils made with organic materials such as cotton, silks, hemp, and other fabrics, grown and manufactured without pesticides or chemicals.

Organic cotton clothes for babies and children are colorful, functional, sturdily constructed and sized to accommodate both shrinkage of the fabric, as well as the growth of the child. From use in the layette to onesies and toddler they are colorful and “cute” and come in various sizes. They include rompers, sun suits, dresses, jackets, hats, and two-piece sets.  Many items have multiple closures on body of the item, as well as the straps to allow for growth.  This increases their value by allowing longer use!

Organic receiving blankets, towels and bedding are important to the health of our children especially when the exposure to these items is close and for extended periods of time.  Lotions, soaps, diapers, feeding utensils, and bottles are also available in organic, pesticide free items available for sale online and in stores.

Another benefit of organic baby or children’s clothing is the softness.  Compared to the scratchy, irritating fabrics used in non-organic clothing, organic fabric is non scratchy or irritating. Your baby or child will appreciate this, and will most likely be less irritable because he/she is not experiencing unnecessary irritation from tags, zippers, or abrasive materials.  These organic fabrics are gentler and reduce rashes and itchiness of their tender, fragile skin.

When compared with the ordinarily available non-organic children’s clothing, you may think that organic is too expensive.  Isn’t it worth the few extra dollars to ensure you baby these eco-friendly clothes which are more comfortable, reduce irritation, and are manufactured to grow with the child.  Due to no chemicals in organic clothing, there is no pollution of the ground water with laundering. Also consider that at end of their usable life, when they need to be disposed of, they will not pollute the environment.
