The arrival of any new baby means that parents have to purchase supplies such as bottles, diapers, and clothing. While new parents are preparing for their baby’s every need and taking precautions around the house, I wonder have they really thought about the benefits of organic baby clothing. Compared to regular clothing, organic baby clothing offers so many more advantages and comfort to your baby. Ok at this point I know you’re wondering, “Why is organic baby clothing better for your baby?”

First off any organic clothing will be free of any chemicals and pesticides. A baby’s skin is much different than that of an adult and can react differently to clothing treated with chemicals. Now you may wonder how can a baby be affected? The answer is rashes; a baby who is frequently breaking out in rashes can be having a reaction to the clothing that is touching his or her skin. A baby skin is much thinner and able to absorb any chemicals or pesticides that it comes into contact with. Organic baby clothing also uses colored dyes that are safe for baby’s skin.

Cost is always a major concern when considering any clothing that is organic. Most parents think that it is overpriced in comparison to non-organic clothing. This is a common misconception, actually organic fabrics including cotton will stand up to around 100 washes before they start to break down. That’s 10 times more than non- organic clothing! So if you take all those factors into account the organic clothing for your baby will actually last longer therefore, making it more cost effective.

There’s no worry that just because the baby clothing is organic that it’s going to be boring. Organic clothing for babies comes in a wide variety of colors and patterns, some of them pretty funky I might add. Believe it or not, jeans for children and babies also come in the organic variety.

It is quite easy to find organic baby clothing online. Most website will offer clothing such as baby grows, feetie pajamas, oneses, hats, socks, and even bibs. Parents should make sure that before purchasing any clothing labelled as organic that is certified 100% organic.

A great idea for new parents is to create a registry before the baby is born either online or instore. This way if friends and family want to buy presents for the baby you don’t need to keep reminding them that you are sticking with organic clothing. Simply pick a certified green business or business that sells certified 100% organic clothing and add all the items that you would like to the registry.

Organic baby clothing really makes a big difference to your baby’s health and well-being. You want the best possible things for your new baby and that should include clothing. Organic clothing for your baby will ensure that he or she is more comfortable throughout both the day and night. Organic clothing will also help eliminate rashes that can be upsetting to both you and the baby. It is worth the extra money at the start for items that will be more sustainable and end up saving you money in the long run.
