Comfort Cotton

Why should we consider buying our babies clothes and toys made from organic cotton? We investigate organic baby foods, such as rice and vegetables, as we get concerned about feeding our babies food containing too many chemicals. We also need to think as much about the benefits of buying baby clothes, bedding and toys made from organic rather than conventional cotton.

It is a fact that 25% of the world’s pesticides used have been sprayed on cotton. It takes a cup full of chemicals just to make one child’s t-shirt. According to the World Health Organisation 20,000 deaths occur in developing countries each year due to pesticide pollution.  Many of these deaths as a direct result of producing cotton. Research carried out by PAN UK suggests 3 million people suffer after effects of cotton production. Pesticides also damage the soil fertility, destroy wildlife and cause chronic disease both to the farmer and his family.  Organic cotton is the only way to go.
