Making Healthy Choices
Toxic chemicals in common household products including cleaning
supplies, laundry detergents and even carpets and furniture can irritate
the skin and breathing passages. In addition, the manufacturing of
chemical products contributes to air, soil and water pollution. By
choosing to go organic whenever possible, you’re not just doing your
best to ensure your baby’s continuing good health. You’re also doing
your part to preserve the beautiful world she lives in.

Organic Clothing and Bedding
Up to 25 percent of the world’s pesticides are used in traditional
cotton farming. Choosing organic baby diapers, clothing and bedding
reduces the likelihood of harmful chemicals leaching from the fabric and
irritating your baby’s sensitive skin. Exposure to toxic substances can
also damage a developing immune system. Clothing and bedding made from
100 percent certified-organic cotton is hypoallergenic and usually lasts
longer, wears better and is more comfortable than clothing made from
other, non-organic fabrics.

Organic Toys
Organic baby toys made from all-natural wood, wool, cotton or hemp are
free of many of the harmful chemicals found in plastics. Recent studies
have shown that many traditional plastic or painted toys may contain
dangerous substances including BPA, phthalates, lead or cadmium. Babies
are naturally inquisitive and explore their environment by feeling
things with their mouths. Making the decision to give your baby organic
toys and teething rings means you won’t have to worry about her safety
while she’s busy playing.

Always read the labels carefully to guarantee that the baby products you
buy are certified organic and made with 100 percent natural materials.
