What You Need To Know About Organic Baby Clothes
The first thing you need to know about organic baby clothes is that they exist. Obviously, at some point in our species history, all we had were organic baby clothes, but those times have changed. Synthetic baby clothes are now considered the norm for most countries' babies. But as times change, our species continues to adapt. Now we want organic baby clothes again.
Perhaps We Should Stop Having Kids
We certainly wouldn't need to worry about what materials our baby clothes are made out of or how that material was grown if we didn't have babies to clothe. However attractive the idea of a baby-less world can seem, unfortunately, it's not a practical one. Someone somewhere in the world is going to screw up and ….well…have a baby as a result. And that baby will need food and clothes. By going organic, hopefully that will help the planet that baby has to grow their own babies in.
Oh, Tell Us About The Apparel, Then
Thank you, Gentle Reader, for your vote of confidence by reading this far. Organic baby clothes are usually made out of plant materials like cotton or hemp. Cotton seems to be most popular. Although you might want to give your baby silk (as it is a natural material), don't. This is a BABY, remember, and keep in mind what they do to any clothes. Don't waste silk on them.
Babies are notorious for having extremely sensitive skins. Synthetic baby clothes often contain chemicals from the factory that can irritate the skin. Some claim that even all cotton non-organic baby clothes contain traces of pesticides, dyes and fragrances that can irritate the baby. The advantage of organic baby clothes is that you don't have to worry about the material irritating the baby's skin. Heaven knows, there will be more than enough other things in the world to irritate it.
Many people also claim that organic cotton clothing is sturdier than synthetics and doesn't wear out from repeated washings. So, in a way, organic cotton clothes become cheaper than synthetic, which needs replacing more often.
Where To Find This Stuff
Organic baby clothes are becoming easier and easier to find, thanks to the consumer's demand for environmentally-friendly products. Even the massive retail giant Wal-Mart (Asda in England) stocks a line of baby clothes made from 100% organic cotton. If you think Wal-Mart is evil, you can still find organic baby clothes pretty much everywhere else. The easiest place to find organic apparel is online.
