Organic vs. Conventional Cotton

Today, we have so many decisions to make on our children's behalf. We are constantly looking for healthier foods to feed our toddlers, and now we must decide if the clothes we buy could be healthier.

Conventional cotton is chemically treated with insecticides and pesticides. It is known to be said that cotton is one of the most chemically dependent crops grown in the US. Besides the cotton being contaminated with these chemicals, we should also be concerned that while treated the crops, the atmosphere is being "treated" with the same chemicals. Bad for our bodies, bad for our environment. Quite a dilemma.

The alternative? Organic, unbleached, home-grown cotton. Since the 1990's there has been an increase in the treatment of cotton crops with chemicals. On a positive note, there has also been an increase in the number of organically grown cotton crops.
Also, organic cotton is grown in such a way to help sustain the land it grows on, the people who grow and harvest it, and the planet in general.

The advantage of buying these products for your child are many. First, we know for sure that an organically produced piece of clothing does not contain insecticides and pesticides, or other chemicals, so we don't run the risk of absorbing these through our skin into our bodies. Secondly, through anecdotal notation, we have come to learn that organically grown clothing products tend to be much more comfortable. Lastly, by supporting the growth of this cotton, we are sending a message as a nation that we want to be responsible about the condition of the planet.
