For many years cotton has been the choice for manufacturers as the material to use in their products mainly clothes. It was thought to be a clean,light and soft fabric. It was seen as the perfect material for adult clothes, newborn clothing, linens and bedding.
Cotton is still used today but there is a trend to now use organic cotton which has become quite popular for newborn clothing.
Cotton for many years was grown using toxic pesticides and synthetic fertilizers. All cotton was grown this way since we were not aware of the damage we were doing to the environment.
As we became more aware of the effects that growing cotton was having on our environment and on us, a trend to go organic increased when it came to manufacturing linens, newborn clothing and bedding.
So why is going organic a trend that is on the rise?
Well for one thing it is grown without all the pesticides and chemical fertilizers. Only 100% natural ingredients such as manure are used in its production.
Environmentally, the growing of organic cotton is better in more ways than one. Insects harmful to cotton are becoming resistant to the pesticides thus causing the farmer to increase the use of these harmful chemical pesticides. It takes approximately one pound of chemicals to grow cotton while organic cotton is grown without the use of harmful chemicals.
Organic cotton is grown using methods and materials that have a very low impact on the environment. The methods used actually help build healthy soils and a healthy environment.
Once harvested it is not treated with the chemicals and the dyes that traditional cotton is. This makes for a material that is much easier on sensitive skin and less likely to trigger any allergies, just perfect for newborn clothing.
Producers must actually be certified. Their fields must test clean of pesticides and chemicals etc for three years before they are certified.
Going organic not only reduces damage to the environment but also it creates a safer environment for the worker who works in the field with the cotton.
So the next time you are out shopping and you are trying to find unique baby clothes for your baby or for a shower gift check that label. Organic cotton is very soft it is much more durable and breathable which makes it a very good material for newborn clothing.
Buy organic - your newborn will appreciate it.
Buying newborn clothing can be fun again. Put the fun back into shopping!

She was 6lbs 6 oz at birth, she is now 6 weeks and 0-3 mo. clothesdo not fit her they are tooooo big. She isnt that little and only newborn fits. When did your baby start 0-3?
How long did your baby where newborn size clothes before moving into 3 month clothes. And how long did it where 3 month outfits before moving to 6 month? Thank you!
Just curious as to what you did with your newborns clothing. My son now doesn't fit into newborn clothing and is close to not fitting into his 0-3 months stuff. What did you do with it all? We want to TTC in another year. Should we keep it, sell it or donate it? Also I have a bunch of stuff that he doesn't use anymore ( Playtex drop in bottles, bottle warmer, other bottles that weren't used, the actual drop ins to the bottle, and some other things ) What should I do with those things?
I am 36 weeks and measuring small. She is about 2 weeks behind in size according to the ultrasound. (She weighs about 5 lbs 2 oz but should weigh 6). I have like 4 newborns outfits. All of the onsies and other clothes are 0-3 months. Will the 0-3 months be waaay too big or should I get more newborn clothes? Or should I not rely on the ultrasound/doctor?
I have a second baby on the way and i was told to wash everypiece of clothing before ot arrives. I can't remember doing this with my first son some odd 5 yrs ago and I don't remember him developing a rash or anything because of it. but now that i think about it it does seem more sanitary.
My daughter is due in a few weeks and I've been checking the list to make sure we will have everything we need when she arrives. Right now I have 10 short-sleeve onesies (mostly my mother's doings), 4 long-sleeve onesies, 3 footed bodysuits, a dress, 2 pairs of pants, 6 pairs of socks (also my mother), 2 bibs, and a bathrobe (I couldn't resist myself). Am I missing anything important here?
