Eco Clothing – Organic Baby Clothes

Eco conscious folks know that cotton production uses 25% of the world’s pesticides. That’s a lot of toxic chemicals used to produce a single cotton t-shirt. Not only are pesticides used on the production of cotton itself, but toxic dyes with heavy metal in them are used to treat the fabric. Even worse, the by-products of cotton production – called “gin trash” – is fed to livestock and thus enters our food chain.

The skin is the largest organ on the body – you will ingest these poisons right through your otherwise fashionable peice of clothing. This is why parents today are now turning to organic and eco-friendly baby clothing.

When buying organic baby products online, such as newborn baby hats, or when looking for organic newborn gifts, make sure that the label on the product does indeed say 100% organic. When buying textile products, check to ensure that the fabric is 100% organic cotton and does not have another textile blend. Avoid all blends that contain petroleum based fabrics such as rayon, nylon and polyester.
