More typically associated with foods than non edible baby products, the term "organic" has become a symbol of trust for a large variety of products worldwide; from organically grown fruits and vegetables, to organically grown cotton.
When you are in the market for a new baby blanket, seeking out one made of organic cotton may be one of the best decisions you make during the early stages of your baby's development. How so?
- Organic cotton baby blankets are made from cotton grown with minimal impact to the environment; meaning no harmful synthetic chemical pesticides or fertilizers are used to grow and maintain the cotton fields.
- Production and harvesting of organic cottons is done in an earth friendly manner; maximizing both cotton production and soil replenishment while keeping the fields poison free.
- Organic cotton baby blankets are considered some of, if not THE softest and, more importantly PUREst baby blankets on the market.
For those unfamiliar with cotton production, the U.S. based Organic Trade Association (OTA) and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) lists the normal chemical consumption for production of a single cotton t-shirt to be an astonishing 1/3rd of a POUND of potentially harmful chemicals. That's just for a single, rather thin, t-shirt. For a 100% cotton baby blanket, those consumption numbers, and the potential poisons in said baby blanket, are sure rise.
As parents we all want the best for our children, so if you're shopping for a new cotton baby blanket, be sure to consider an all natural, organic solution.
