Preparing a Nursery - Why Organic is Better for your Baby

Preparing for your newborn can be overwhelming. You’ve read the books, covered the electrical outlets, and added devices to any corner or cupboard that could potentially become hazardous to your precious child.

Then came the fun part, turning that pastel saturated Pinterest board into reality with stuffed animals, children’ books, and a crib that may or may not have come with overly complicated instructions.

But the baby proofing doesn’t stop when the baby blanket choosing starts. While the cotton crib liner with the marching elephants might be cute – cotton is one of the most pesticide ridden fabrics out there and unfortunately also the most common.

Babies have very sensitive skin and are prone to irritations are rashes which can be caused by the synthetic materials they spend the majority of their early days swaddled in. To avoid this, protect your little one with safe, organic fabrics like hemp, organic cotton, or bamboo.
