How to choose organic cotton baby clothing




Baby’s skin is quite sensitive so you must choose kinds of baby clothes are carefully and you may already know that organic cotton baby clothing is a healthy fabric choice for your baby. But other than having a personal style preference, how do you decide between the growing numbers of organic clothing lines coming into the market place?

Reading what the manufacturer’s label says about baby clothes.
The clothing label should say 100% certified organic cotton. Some products will say natural or organic on the packaging, but when you look at the tag it says 100% cotton. In some cases the cotton is blended with a synthetic fabric such as polyester. Polyester is not organic.
The 100% organic label means the cotton was grown without pesticides or chemical fertilizers and using sustainable farming practices. The clothing item itself will also be free of toxic fabric finishes containing formaldehyde and dioxins.
Examine the fabric of the clothing.
The fabric of organic cotton baby outfits should be thicker, more flexible and softer than traditional cotton. The clothing will also wash better and last longer.
Organic clothing will probably not be stark white, unless it has undergone some type of bleaching process. Cotton can grow naturally in many colors, including white, yellow, green, brown, pink and even mauve. However, organic white cotton has a vanilla, or yellowish tinge to it.
