There is a lot of talk about the benefits of organic products and organic materials. But how far should you go? Here are the pros and cons of investing in organic clothing for your kids.
First of all, organic clothes are clothes made from materials grown without the use of synthetic chemicals, such as pesticides and fertilizers.
The Benefits
One of the main benefits of organic clothing is that it reduces children’s exposure to potentially harmful chemicals that might be left in the fabric as a result of the pesticides used in the growing process. Organic clothing is also usually softer and hypoallergenic. So if your baby has sensitive skin, it might be a great option.
Finally, many parents find that organic clothing is overall higher quality and will last longer. Depending on how fast you think your child will grow out of the clothes, it might be worth the investment.
The Drawbacks
On the other hand, organic clothing is usually more expensive, because the cost of production is higher. It also might be harder to find. You can probably order some pieces online, but you may not find a place you can go and try on the clothes before purchasing.
