5 Benefits of Buying Organic Baby Clothes

1. It’s Kind To Your Baby’s Skin

A baby’s skin is much more delicate than yours. It is thinner and more porous, which means it easily absorbs things it comes into contact with. This is why babies and toddlers are prone to rashes and allergies. Unlike adults, their bodies aren’t that capable of breaking down and eliminating toxins.

Since clothing directly touches your baby’s skin it can help reduce your baby’s skin becoming irritated when you buy organic baby clothes. This is because they are free of harmful chemicals found on synthetic materials and cotton pesticides used in non-organic clothing.

Organic cotton is free of the chemicals that could be sitting next to your baby’s skin giving you peace of mind and is particularly important when buying clothes for babies with eczema or other skin conditions.

2. Your Baby Will Be More Comfortable

Organic cotton wicks away moisture and ventilates cool so your little one is less likely to bathe in sweat or feel too hot and its weave will also help them retain warmth in the cooler winter months.

It’s the perfect material as its unique properties adapt really well to different climates helping your baby maintain a healthy temperature!

3. Your Baby Clothes Last Longer Because They’re Super Durable

The cost of buying baby clothes can really add up and with how often you have to wash them they can quickly become shabby.

With organic cotton though you will get about 100 washes before it begins breaking down, while conventional cotton can start breaking down after 10 to 20 washes!

4. You Will Save Money

Because organic baby clothes are so durable it makes your price per wear much cheaper than traditional baby clothes as organic ones will give you a lot more mileage.

(And because they last five times more washes than non-organic, you can hand them down in great condition... like with these two cheeky chappies)

5. It’s Eco-Friendly, Protecting Our Planet

Organic baby clothes benefit the environment as there is no pesticide runoff so there is no damage to habitats or groundwater supplies.

You’re also helping support a healthy and sustainable supply chain as employees of the organic companies enjoy a healthier working environment as they are not exposed to harmful chemicals.

But super adorable baby clothes are just one part of the equation. The bib that goes around my baby’s neck shouldfeel as good as it looks. And that’s not always easy to find. So, out of love for my baby, I started making my own organic baby clothes. Because anything that touches my baby’s skin has to be safe, soft, and pass my mum-level standard. And the same goes for anything I make for your little boy or girl.

Materials That Are Good For Baby…and Keep Mother Earth Happy, Too

As a primary school teacher, I’ve gotten pretty good at listening to parents’ concerns. Turns out, most mums have the same worries I do when it comes to baby products.

They want to make sure anything their little one wears is safe and non-irritating, and plenty comfortable. And if cute baby clothes happen to be good for our planet, all the better.

Going the extra sustainable step matters because our little ones are counting on us to preserve what we’ve been given.

“Every time you spend money, you’re casting a vote for the kind of world you want” - Anne Lappe

It’s the reason I believe in quality, handmade goods that last. It’s why the metal poppers on my garments are dyed with environmentally friendly paint. And it’s why I only use GOTS-certified organic cotton, meaning there are never, ever nasty pesticides or chemicals involved.
