Over the past few months, I’ve been
asked about organic cotton baby clothes so many times. 2018 really does
seem to be the year that more and more parents are going the organic
route! And who can blame them?
Mums have asked me ‘Are organic baby
clothes worth the extra cost?’. And I reiterate, they are worth every
penny for all manner of reasons. Becoming a Nan for the first time last
month has been eye-opening to say the least. Dylan was 6 weeks premature
and with fragile skin, I knew how important it was to buy him
good-quality organic cotton babygrow.
My daughter Helena has gone out of her
way to ensure that Dylan’s clothes are ethically sourced and are safe
for his preemie skin. She has an amazing Bamboo Swaddle which she uses
all the time and the vast majority of the baby’s clothes are organic.
Wandering up and down the high street
after his early birth, I saw all manner of baby clothes made with
synthetic materials. Uncomfortable scratchy seams and fabrics aren’t
pleasant at the best of times. But subjecting a newborn baby’s delicate
and sensitive skin to non-natural fibres seems downright mean! These
super cheap baby clothes might seem like a good idea at the time and
let’s be fair we all like a bargain. Nonetheless, fast fashion
inevitably results in someone suffering somewhere. The working
conditions for people working in the ‘disposable clothes’ industry are
usually very poor. Yet few people think about the implications of buying
non-organic clothing.
Buying organic cotton baby clothes
online really does seem to be the best option as there’s a lot of choice
out there. Having said that, you can’t go far wrong with Tilly and
Jasper baby clothes. Great choice, reasonable prices, ethically sourced, super-trendy and cool with it!
