There is now a growing awareness amongst Americans that we live our lives surrounded by chemicals; many of which can pose significant health risks. Increasing numbers of expectant parents are taking these new bits of knowledge to heart while they busily put together a nursery and choose linens for their baby’s room.
Organic baby bedding , while it does have to contain organic cotton in order to earn the label, might also include cotton grown using pesticides, or some degree of polyester, as well. Organically grown cotton is sometimes combined with natural fibers like wool or chemical free hemp to make organic bedding. Since some studies show that infants exposed to pesticide residues absorb and retain them at greater rates than adult bodies do, organic bedding is an excellent way to keep your new arrival safe from the harm such exposure can cause.
