Cotton has long been the top choice in fabrics when it comes to swaddling newborns, clothing infants and keeping toddlers comfortable in their newly found mobility. But the continued increase of chemical and pesticide application to crops by cotton growers around the world has propelled cotton to the top of the global list of chemically saturated agricultural products. The statistics are staggering and disconcerting.

You don't feed cotton to your baby, so what's the big deal about organic baby clothing?

Currently, there is no definitive research showing permanent harm resulting from chemicals and pesticides which leech onto cotton fibers. However, it sure doesn't seem like the final product would be quite pure, and oftentimes, research on such matters lags behind actual practice. For example, the ubiquitous use of lead in paint and asbestos in construction materials went on for decades prior to being banned as health hazards.

When it comes to your baby, organic cotton clothing is a great alternative that can give you peace of mind and confidence that your baby is swaddled only in purity. This is just one of the many unique gifts that we offer online.

When you purchase organic baby clothing, you're not just guarding the health of your infant, you're doing your part to help protect the environment.

While organic cotton growers have proliferated in this country over the past decade, their numbers represent a miniscule portion of total cotton grown, and their small farms are constantly threatened. Many consumers are not aware of the tragic environmental impact of commercial cotton farming practices, and do not seek out organic alternatives. This causes a chain reaction - retailers don't seek organic cotton from clothing designers, clothing designers don't seek organic cotton from fabric mills, mills don't seek organic cotton from growers.
