Why choose organic baby clothes

We should all take the time to consider making a move to buying organic clothing whether it is for our children or ourselves. Cotton products are all around us, from sheets and blankets to clothing and personal care products.

The amount of cotton that is farmed each year is tremendous as the world is crying out for more and more textiles made using cotton.

Because of the demand intense farming methods that inflict heavy damage to the environment as toxic chemicals are poured into the soil in an effort to improve yield, control weeds and kill "pests".

Some 25 per cent of all insecticides and more than 10 per cent of pesticides consumed in farming throughout the world are used solely on the production of cotton.

Organic farmers around the world are showing that there is no need to rely on chemicals that could be dangerous to human health, relying instead on both ancient and innovative growing methods.

More than half the worlds’ need for fibre is supplied by cotton. Cotton is promoted by manufacturers as a ‘natural’ fibre and when we put our toddlers into cotton nappies and beautifully white soft cotton baby sleepsuits, we automatically assume the fabric is pure and gentle. However, cotton production and processing actually involves the use of chemicals that some feel are hazardous to our health.

According to the Soil Association, the conventional cotton farmer uses around 150 grams of pesticides to grow the cotton required for one tee shirt – that is the equivalent of one cup of sugar.

Organic cotton is produced without the use of harsh chemicals. Instead natural fertilisers, compost and the use of natural pest control have helped make the growing of organic cotton a viable enterprise.

In some countries, mixtures of natural soap, chilli and extracts from local trees are used to repel pests, which can then be eaten by chickens or other birds. Insect traps can be used to detect when levels of infestation are rising, allowing farmers to time their applications to gain the best effect.

The benefit of producing cotton organically, to the consumer is the softness and quality that only organic cotton can provide. It is truly unmatched and one of the top reasons why mums and dads are choosing organic cotton for their delicate baby's skin.
