If your little one is experiencing allergies or suffering from skin irritations and this is not food related, it is time to reconsider and switch to a different fabric or clothing material to purchase. Organic cotton is one of the best options that your little one can have. 

Cotton is used widely in our lives from kitchen to the bedroom. Because of commercial farming methods, ordinary cotton may contain impurities that could trigger allergic reactions in some babies and even adults. This is where organic cotton comes in handy.

What is Organic Cotton Farming?

Organic cotton grows without using fertilisers, pesticides, and other toxic chemicals. With this kind of farming method, cotton trees are not sprayed or treated with any chemical. Organic cotton farming results into a sustainable environment as it helps maintains soil fertility and harvests chemical free cotton.

Traditional method of growing cotton not only jeopardises the environment but also everyone who grows such cotton as well. Other than that, here are more benefits of wearing organic cotton clothing:

 1. Environment-Friendly

Compared to conventional cotton, organic cotton is one of the most environmentally friendly options as it does not have a harsh manufacturing process. 

The production of organic cotton fabric uses less energy, releases fewer greenhouse gases and due to the improved soil quality, uses significantly less water.

The health of workers are also not compromised. Lastly, the use of excessive fertilisers and pesticides also cause irreparable damage to the environment.

 2. Safety Standards

Organic clothing products are safer as manufacturing process are strict and maintained by manufacturing standards. This is not only to minimise negative impact to the environment but to ensure customers can have better quality of cotton. 

 3. Avoid Allergies and Skin Concerns

Organic cotton products are safer and better for skin. Newborn babies have very sensitive skin in the first two years of their lives. We want to make sure that they have the highest quality products when they are babies to avoid skin irritations for future. 

Organic cotton products are softer and safer for the skin, as the fibres are much longer, compared to regular cotton.

 4. Save Money for Medical Bills

With better quality products and reduced exposure to allergens, your little ones will be more comfortable wearing clothes and will worry less about health and medical concerns. You then save on purchasing medical creams for your little ones. 

When you use organic cotton clothing you help farmers too. They are no longer exposed to dangerous pesticides and chemicals. They will be healthier and will similarly not have to worry about medical issues and bills. 

 5. Improved Emotional and Mental Health

Little ones and farmers will benefit an improved emotional and mental health as they do not need to deal with skin conditions.

 6. Helps Everyone Become Responsible Citizens

Organic cotton clothing helps people to consider about their health, their environment and also other people such as farmers. We become more responsible citizens. 

You and your little one will realise the benefits of wearing organic clothing now and in the future. Less skin irritations will help your baby to be happy day and night. Also, he or she will less likely to have skin irritations in the future.
