Your baby is the most precious little human in your life. Naturally, we want to do everything we can to ensure they have the best in life.<\/strong><\/p>

You may have already switched to organic food to guarantee they are healthy on the inside so why not ensure what touches them on the outside is organic too?<\/strong><\/p>

Organic cotton clothing and baby products have become increasingly popular over the past few years. More and more parents are opting for natural items rather than clothes and products drenched in chemicals.<\/strong><\/p>

Below I have compared why it is best to choose natural, organic products for your baby.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>

Why is Organic the Best for Your Baby?<\/strong><\/p>

Now that we know the main difference between organic cotton and conventional cotton from my previous blog post, here are 6 reasons for why you should be switching to organic clothing and bedding for your precious baby.<\/p>

It Lasts Longer\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>

Unlike conventional cotton, organic cotton lasts longer. Instead of having to buy a new set of baby sleepsuits every month, one good quality sleepsuit will last you for years.<\/p>

This is because organic cotton\u2019s resilient fibres have not been damaged by chemicals during the growing and weaving process.<\/p>

That makes the quality superior.<\/p>

No matter how many times you wash it, or your baby wears it, it will age gracefully.<\/p>

It\u2019s Free from Toxic Chemicals\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>

We have already talked about the chemicals used in the growing and processing of conventional cotton in my previous blog. Let\u2019s discuss that some more\u2026<\/p>

It is extremely important for babies to sleep in bedding and wear clothing that is chemical free. This is because baby skin is 5 times thinner, more absorbent and more sensitive than adult skin.<\/p>

Therefore, a baby\u2019s skin absorbs toxic chemicals faster and is more likely to develop skin irritations and allergies.<\/p>

If dressed in conventional cotton, babies inhale the chemical residues from the fibres as they sleep. By switching to organic you can rest easy, knowing your child is not inhaling anything toxic.<\/p>

Organic Cotton is Softer and More Comfortable\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>

Organic cotton is naturally a very soft fibre. But when drenched in chemicals it often loses its soft touch and becomes coarse and scratchy, which causes discomfort.<\/p>

When a baby is itchy, they become restless. By switching to organic, you\u2019re maximising your baby\u2019s comfort and ensuring they stay cosy and itch-free, wrapped in soft clothing and bedding.<\/p>

When taken care of properly, organic cotton can get softer with every wash.<\/p>

It\u2019s Better for Your Baby\u2019s Skin\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>

Organic cotton is gentle and kinder to a baby\u2019s skin. As the material is soft and free from chemicals, there is less of a chance of your child developing skin conditions such as eczema, dermatitis and skin allergies.<\/p>

As organic cotton always keeps its natural state, it makes it mould resistant and antimicrobial too.<\/p>

It\u2019s Better for The Environment\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>

Conventional cotton damages a lot of the surrounding wildlife and plants. It also wastes enormous amounts of water.<\/p>

As the pesticides and insecticides are sprayed, the residue leaks into local rivers, trees and vegetations that wildlife eat and drink from to survive. Treated cotton seeds are often ingested by animals causing them to fall ill or die.<\/p>

Organic cotton, on the other hand, is far better for the environment and wildlife. No chemicals are used, and farmers recycle rain water so water from conservations isn\u2019t wasted.<\/p>

It\u2019s Better for Farmers<\/strong><\/p>

Organic cotton is not only better for your baby\u2019s health and for the environment, it is also better for the farmers that grow the cotton.<\/p>

The farmers aren\u2019t exposed to any harmful chemicals and don\u2019t inhale any pesticides and insecticides. They also aren\u2019t forced into debt from purchasing expensive GMO seeds. That means they enjoy farming a lot more! Do what\u2019s best for your baby (and yourself) and switch to organic cotton.
