Babies bitten by the Organic Bug!

Organic baby clothes are becoming increasingly popular, but what exactly are they? Many companies tout their clothing as "organic", but this term is often used loosely.

Organic clothing is clothing made from fibers that are grown without the use of pesticides, herbicides, insecticides, chemical fertilizers or other chemicals. In addition, truly organic fibers are processed without using harsh dyes, chemicals or mixing the organic fibers with non-organic ones.

Popular organic materials for making baby clothing are: organic cotton, soybean fiber, bamboo fiber, hemp or organic wool. Many organic clothing manufacturers choose to leave garments in their natural colors. Some may choose to use crushed petals or plant fibers to achieve different hues with as little processing as possible.

I asked a kid, "What's your choice, baby? Organic cloths or conventional?"

"Anything loose fitting"

It's great to see young moms decide to go organic, both with their babies' clothes and food. As a grandparent, it restores my sense of hope for the future to see this new, green committment by the kids that we had during and after the Sixties. Our innocent ideals faded in the ensuing 40 years, mainly because we grew up and realized that we must feed our kids!
The current move to save the planet is both a walk down memory lane, and a glimpse into a better future.
