Comfort Cotton
Japanese style baby clothes are based on the kimono. The kimono prevents the parents from having to pull anything over the baby’s head, a traumatic experience for them, especially newborns and up to about three months. Any parent will tell you of the difficulty they have supporting the baby’s neck and then trying to pull a conventional garment over the head. It’s tough and it can be a tearful time for small babies and can become a stressful experience for parents.
The wrap kimono used with Japanese style baby clothes allows you to place the baby on top of the garment and tie it across. This simple way of dressing baby effectively prevents tears as it allows you to keep eye contact with your baby throughout.
Soon-to-be mothers receive lots of gifts for the new baby, including toys, diapers, nursery decorations, and clothes. If you’re attending a baby shower soon, you’ll want to get a gift that will set you apart from all the other attendees. With all the gift competition you’ll have, you may not find the cutest t-shirt or the most fun toy, but there is one way you can be sure to earn the new mom’s gratitude: Make sure you buy only organic gifts that are 100% safe and healthy for the new baby!
Look for 100% organic cotton baby clothes, toys and bedding. Organic cotton is grown without chemical fertilizers or pesticides, and it is from cotton plants that are not genetically modified. You may be surprised to learn that cotton crops cover 2.5% of the world’s cultivated land, yet it uses 16% of the world’s insecticides – more than any other single major crop! Regular cotton may also have been colored with toxic dyes, which can irritate babies’ sensitive skin. Your pregnant friend or loved one will be so grateful that you bought only the best, purest cotton gifts for her precious little baby.
