Because of their delicate skin, it is very common for babies to experience rashes and reactions, caused by the clothing that they wear and the products that are applied to their skin.People throughout the world continue to demonstrate and awareness of what is good for the body and the environment and in most cases this involves food and clothing.Up until about 10 years ago the presence of organic products in the market was fairly minor.Most people didn't think twice about wearing a toxin-filled polyester tee shirt or eating a chemically-sprayed piece of fruit.How things of changed.Many people have made the transition to organic clothing and skin care products and whilst these alternatives are more expensive, the health benefits to the body and the environment is more than justifiable.Most parents are understandably concerned for their babies and have their best interests at heart.From the moment a baby is born, they start to suffer from skin irritations and rashes, most of which are caused by non-organic products.Parents are more aware of what is healthier for their children and this has seen a greater demand for organic products in the baby and kids retail industry.Organic cotton baby clothes are particular popular, being that they don't contain the artificial brighteners, flame retardants, ammonia, formaldehyde that exist in non-organic clothing.100% natural clothing is much softer and contains no harsh chemicals or toxins that are likely to cause adverse skin reactions among babies.Baby skin is much softer and more sensitive than adult skin.It is not developed enough to show immunity to harmful chemicals.Baby eczema is a big problem faced by parents and fortunately the introduction of organic baby clothes has provided a much-needed preventative.

Cotton has been around for at least 7000 years.It's widely believed that around the 1560's cotton was planted in Florida which brought cotton to our country.Since then, we have been growing different varieties of cotton.The negative that can surround traditional cotton production is that it uses a ton of pesticides.Cotton is a relatively small part of agriculture and uses an unusually large amount of pesticides.In developing country's 20,000 deaths a year can be attributed to pesticides.Heavy pesticide use contaminates the drinking water.Once you change the water you change the lay of the land and eco systems become destroyed.Organic cotton does not use pesticides, so you have no harm done to the eco system or the farmers working the land.Drinking water is clean, no soil erosion because you rotate crop variety.You end up with a very clean plant.When it come to making decisions about what to dress a newborn in, take in consideration that the skin absorbs what ever is next to it.Newborn skin is delicate.Harsh contaminants against new skin can be harmful.What is done to non organic cotton behind the scenes is just as toxic as the way it has been grown.Toxic chemicals are used to color it, stretch it and make it have that soft feel.Formaldehyde is even used in cotton production.Ouch!Okay, I think I have stated enough about the differences of organic verse non organic.Here's why choose organic cotton? First, most importantly it protects your infant from pesticides and harsh chemicals supporting their respiratory system.Cotton is a very breathable fabric.Organic cotton is a very durable material.It feels good when you wear it and the fabric washes well.You get to prevent soil erosion and help keep good water quality in developing country's.You get to support a healthier environment.It saves you money.Lastly, If you introduce organic cotton into a baby's life habits, you can be setting a habit for life.Where do you find organic cotton baby clothing? A ton of places.Target, Walmart, Whole Foods Market and at one point Kmart carried a line.Gerber and Carter have organic baby clothing.Amazon sell organics.It's all over everywhere today, you just have to take the time to look for organic labels.The selection is there, along with a variety of pricing, different styles and colors.I dressed my babies 15 years ago in whatever organic clothing I could find and afford.I would still do it again.

Breathable, Moisture-Wicking Fabric Helps Reduce Skin Irritation Triggers

Cotton may be king, but not if your little one has sensitive skin or eczema.  Cotton can actually retain perspiration and aggravate chafing, leaving little ones with sensitive skin at risk for itchy, uncomfortable flare ups. 

Nationaleczema.org accepted - National Eczema Association

ComfortLuxe Sensitive Skin Sleepwear, made with HALO's exclusive ComfortLuxe fabric, breathes better than cotton to keep little ones cool and comfortable. Like performance fabrics for adults, this silky fabric regulates body temperature and wicks perspiration away from the skin so it evaporates quickly. This helps reduce irritation that may trigger the onset of the "itch-scratch" cycle, and is one reason why the ComfortLuxe sleepwear has been awarded the Seal of Acceptance by the National Eczema Association. For additional comfort, the fabric has flat interior seams to minimize abrasion.

Keeps Children Comfortable During Sleep

The ComfortLuxe Sensitive Skin Sleepwear's lightweight fabric wicks moisture from your little one's skin and allows fresh air to circulate. This allows your child to maintain a stable body temperature throughout the night for a more comfortable sleep, regardless of the season.

100 Percent Chemical Free for Safety

ComfortLuxe is free from chemicals, so its moisture wicking performance benefits will never disappear, even after multiple washings. In addition, this smart fabric won't absorb lotions or topical creams on the surface of the skin to help maximize their benefits and promote the healing of skin irritation.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly Recommended, November 4, 2005
By 
Grass Tiger (Wadsworth, IL United States) - See all my reviews
We love this wearable blanket so much that we bought every kind. They are wonderful. First I must say that they, obviously, do not confine the arms, so if your baby still gets startled by her jerky arm movements when trying to fall asleep he/she may not be ready for this yet. I am slowly making the transition from the Miracle Blanket over to this. My baby still needs the extra swaddling at night and when she is fussy, but she likes the freedom during her naps that this provides and likes to get at her fingers too.

I did not find that my cotton sleep sack shrank. The zipper doesn't lay exactly flat on her, but I haven't found this a problem at all.

I do feel the sizes run a bit small. My baby is wearing the small size and at 23" has just about outgrown it. I'd recommend getting them one size above what you think you need.

I don't like that there are no arm sleeves at all. I really would have liked the choice of putting her in one with or without... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for when your baby gets too big to be swaddled, March 13, 2005
When our son started escaping from the receiving blankets we'd swaddle him in, we started using a sleep sack. It took a couple of weeks for him to adjust to it, but now he loves it and goes right to sleep when we put it on him and set him in the crib. He is 30 inches tall and about to outgrow the medium, so we have a large ready for him. He rolls all over the crib during the night and the sleep sack moves with him. It is never pulled tight or twisted. We dress him in something with long sleeves so that his arms stay warm and during the colder winter nights we added "No-Scratch Mittens" from Babies R Us to keep his hands warm. When our son was still in a bassinet, the sleep sack worked well with a sleep positioner to keep him on his back. When swaddled he would scoot out of the positioner, but with the sleep sack his arms were above the positioner and he stayed in place. I've washed both a cotton and a fleece sleep sack dozens of times and they held up great. There's no... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars A safe alternative to blankets, August 2, 2005
With SIDS to worry about, I really do sleep more soundly at night knowing that my baby is warm but not at risk of being smothered by a loose blanket. The bottom-to-top zipper really is convenient for diaper changes, and while the sleepsack did shrink somewhat in the wash, that really hasn't affected its fit on our baby. We went from a fleece sleepsack (infant size) to a cotton one (medium) when the weather started getting warm. Our baby is big (14 lbs and 25 inches at 12 weeks), so we got a medium (one size larger than recommended) hoping it would fit all summer. We shouldn't have worried. The sizes are very generous, but even a very big sleepsack works - there's enough room to grow into without being loose enough at the arm- or neckholes to cause tangling or a smothering hazard. It's perfect for summer nights that are just cool enough that we want to be sure that the baby's feet and legs stay covered, even if her nightgown rides up. Overall, I wouldn't trade the sleepsack for a... Read more
