Baby clothes made from natural fibers such as cotton are recommended to give a new born baby a healthy start. Consumer demand has given cotton clothing its share of space in baby shops today. It has become the hottest baby gift of the decade because we have become more educated and concerned about our wellbeing. Aside from drastically reducing exposure to irritants, cotton is simply a more comfortable choice in kids apparel. Parents understand that while they are dressing their child more wisely, they are also helping to create a healthier environment for their families to live in.
Let’s quickly clarify exactly what organic baby clothes are. This means that the fibers from which they are made has been grown without fertilizers, pesticides, or herbicides. Only herbal insect deterrents are used and weeds are removed by hand. There is no artificial coloring or bleach added. This doesn’t necessarily mean that everything has mundane shades because there are natural coloring techniques. A common misinterpretation is that anything marked 100% cotton is organic — not so.
Baby gear made of naturally grown bamboo is also quite popular today. It’s a bit confusing when something that looks so woody like bamboo is actually made into blankets, socks, pajamas and sheets. Bamboo fibers are actually extremely soft and feel and handle much like silk. A baby gift made from bamboo is considered very upscale and is always is appreciated. Christening gowns made from this fashionable fiber have taken precedence over all itchy and harmful synthetics. Pieces of furniture made of sustainable bamboo are also unique baby gifts.
Organic baby clothes made of hemp fill every trendy baby shop. Hemp grows rapidly and doesn’t require any wicked poisons to do so. This is one type of vegetation that actually enriches the soil instead of draining it of all the nutrients. It’s produced into a strong fiber through an environmentally friendly process and then into many baby items. Hemp is biodegradable and also mold and mildew resistant. A textile made from a cotton and hemp blend has also helped fill the racks of baby stores.
New baby gifts made of organic wool presents another eco friendly option, but isn’t wool’s only good point. It is naturally fire resistant and doesn’t house dust mites like most other types of coats and bedding. Wool regulates body temperature and therefore keeps baby comfortable through the night. It absorbs moisture and insulates even when it has become damp. Wool is a wise choice for anyone with skin sensitivities.
Every little effort we make contributes to having a big impact on the overall picture. Hopefully these steps will evolve into a way of life for us. If we raise our children to be organic they will pass their natural ways of living on to future generations. We must all put our minds where our hearts are and our hearts where our dreams are. Enjoy growing your organic new born baby. It would be detrimental to your health if you didn’t love the life you live.
