The organic craze started with food and has been seeping into other industries- but is the industry of baby clothes a right fit? Organic baby clothes are being sold everywhere, so it seems, and the real benefits of buying organic clothing are intriguing to read about.
Since most clothes will have trace amounts of pesticides in them, you could link a new rash on a baby\’s skin to the purchase of a new clothing item. If you do notice that a baby is getting an unexplained rash, and a physician has declared it wasn\’t anything too serious, you should start to look into organic baby clothes immediately. They won\’t have the irritants that other clothes do.
Even if the baby clothing you buy doesn\’t have harmful pesticides, it is likely using a dye that is derived from a chemical. Organic baby clothing uses natural dyes that come from natural resources. Therefore, organic baby clothing is safe to use if you suspect your baby of having an allergic reaction to the dye that is in your baby\’s clothing.
The scary part about the ordeal with pesticides is that the chemicals can very well be carcinogens. Carcinogens are substances that have been known to cause cancer. Studies show that even mild exposure to pesticides at an early age will result in a greater chance at developing defects such as cancer. Concerned parents should make the switch to organic baby clothing to prevent taking a risk with the possibility of carcinogens and pesticides.
Even washing clothes in the washer once or twice won\’t get some of the potentially dangerous chemicals out of the clothing. Petroleum products that go into the development of clothing will stay through multiple washes- leaving your baby with constant contact to factory-made chemicals. Organic baby clothes are free of petroleum and its effects, so parents won\’t have to worry about constantly washing new clothing just to make it safe for their baby girl or boy.
Babies gain much of the benefit in organic clothing, but so does the environment. Organically grown cotton is free of chemicals that would otherwise run off into the ground. In many cases, the chemicals get into water streams and even drinking water. Organic farms support the logical movement to keep the world a clean place, and not a nasty product of factories. It\’s not the industrial age, and consumers should make wise buying decisions to keep it that way.

For me, the environment plays a huge role in buying organic clothes for my kids. The amount of water and chemicals that are used in traditional cotton harvest is just appalling.
Both my children and the environment benefit and that makes me feel good.
