The eco friendly upbringing of a child can be a very proud feeling for them when they grow up and realises the green living methods from childhood. Moreover, organic dressing of children protects from harms of chemicals around the kid.

The significant advantages of eco friendly clothing may be given as:

Skin sensitivity:

The skin of the babies is far more prone to infections or other bad effects caused from the world. Thus, clothing them with a material that is pesticide free and made with minimum usage of other chemicals will help them get a covering of nature for their sensitive skins.

Less toxin and pesticide exposure:

The material used for organic baby clothing is made up of the fabric that is free from any chemicals or pesticides, thus protecting the skin. About 25% of the pesticides worldwide are being used for the farming of cotton as the cotton fields are considered more prone to pest attacks. While 10% of the insecticides are also used on cotton farming that is eventually an alarming figure to come across. According to statistics, for every pair of cotton jeans and t-shirt produced a pound of pesticides and fertilizers are used that are definitely harmful for skins.

Longer lasting eco-friendly fabric:

A general cotton fabric during processing undergoes bleaching, scouring, dying, formaldehyde spray, application of softeners and finally with soil and flame retardants. These chemical based processes are carried out before designing the clothes or rather even before shipping the material. Thus, with these effects conventionally produced cotton dresses start tearing off after ten to twenty washes, while the eco-friendly fabricated stuff goes on at least for hundred washes counting on the obvious reasons of less application of chemicals on it while producing.

Porous skin:

The skin of a baby is far more soft, sensitive and porous with respect to an adult. Due to this, the skin of the baby reacts more quickly to the chemicals and the other factors unlike that of an adult in general. So for the Security for your baby you must use harmless things like baby wipes and diaper bags

Generates better condition for others:

The farming of cotton for organic clothing is done and dressed by using unconventional yet safer methods like physically removing weeds in place of pesticides, use of crop rotation, hand hoeing and use of beneficial insects, instead of using insecticides that may prove bad for delicate skins. This natural treatment of cotton will help in making eco friendly dresses for babies. Your baby enjoy with ecofriendly toys as well as story books for kids.

Always keep in mind that baby’s skin is delicate and soft. No one intends to cause any direct harm to the little kid. But one should also be aware of the above-mentioned facts while buying dresses.
