Organic Baby Gifts: Clothes, Non-toxic Toys

Organic Baby Gifts: Bed Linens, Fun Outfits, and Safe, Non-toxic Toys

Give babies a true fresh start. Why expose them to man-made chemicals before their immune systems have a chance to adapt to life in our toxic world.

Does it seem a little excessive to buy organic clothing? Read about the chemicals incorporated into fabrics and clothing here. Flame retardants, pesticides, and formaldehyde are just a few examples of the chemicals in non-organic clothing. Decide if you would like to give your baby a non-toxic start. Organic clothing is still a new industry so the prices can be a little high. Because of the higher prices, organic baby clothing and bed linens make for excellent gifts.

Organic baby clothing must be tightly worn in order to be considered safe by federal authorities. They are afraid loose baby clothing may be a fire hazard and that is why most baby clothes are treated with flame retardants. Keep your baby away from flames, cigarettes, and avoid the need for chemically doused clothing.

Hi Ali,

Your post makes me realize just how accessible and available organic baby clothing and merchandise has become. Thanks to blogs like yours that help to build awareness, more and more children's clothing designers are incorporating organic fabrics and materials into their lines.

I would like to reference your posting and future relevant articles on my blog. We are facilitating a new channel for parents to exchange used children's clothing, and I am hopeful that organics become more and more desirable in not only the "new" market, but also the resale market.

Warm regards,
