Conventional cotton agriculture is among the most pesticide intensive farming done in the world.  According to the World Wildlife Fund,  cotton agriculture accounts for 11% of all pesticides used, and 25% of all insecticides, even though cotton accounts for 2.4% of the worlds arable land.

These toxic chemicals are hazardous to workers,  foul drinking water through runoff, and poison migratory animals. Residue form these chemicals on cotton can cause alergic reactions.

This is why we strongly recommend organic cotton products, particularly for babies.   The Wynken organic cotton baby sleeper from    Castleware is available at Kate’s Caring Gifts for $29.95.   It is soft, luxurious, and made from 100% certificed organic cotton and low impact dyes.  Available in Pink,  Blue and chocolate, and made in the US

Kate’s Caring Gifts has a wide range of organic and natural baby care products, accessories and clothes.

These are just too cure for words! OhGeez Organic Cotton Baby clothes are made with the softest, purest organic cotton we have ever seen. The feel is luxurious and cuddly. Conventional cotton agriculture uses more insecticides than any other crop.

In addition the harm that these pesticides do to the environment and the agricultural workers who farm the cotton, pesticide residue can stay in the clothes and have occasionally have caused allergic reactions.

The 100% pure organic cotton used in OhGeez Organic Baby Clothes is pure, natural, and very soft.

Our immediate favorite was the Organic Cotton Infant Gown Set. Available in Natural, Coco, or Sage, this adorable set includes a hat and mittens. When we first opened one up, every woman in the office did an immediate “awwwe” The gown has a drawstring for an old fashioned look, and easy diaper change.

We also love the organic cotton infant receiving blanket. The blankets are double layered with an amazing heavy weight flannel on one side and super soft medium weight jersey. Also available in natural, cocoa, or sage, these blankets measure 36″ x 36″. They are bigger than many receiving blankets for easy swaddling.

And last, we have the organic cotton wash cloths. These took us by surprise. We are so used to terry cloth wash cloths, that we had our doubts when we first saw these. Then we took some home and tried them. These wash cloths are layered with heavy weight flannel and thermal. The flannel is perfect for washing babies delicate new skin, and the texture of the thermal is perfect for older children and adults. Super soft and luxurious, the organic cotton wash cloths are 11″ x 11″.
