Why Organic Bedding and Clothing?

"Baby clothing companies now offer items made from organically grown fibers, such as wool, cotton, hemp, soy or bamboo, that have been grown without the use of pesticides or produced without toxic fabric finishes and flame retardants.

Mattresses and mattress pad covers should be made from organic cotton, organic wool and rubber latex from rubber-tree farms. The mattresses should be free of pesticides and other processing chemicals.

Cloth diapers made from organic cotton, hemp or wool should be free of the chemical-based super absorbent gels, pesticides and chlorine found in conventional diapers.

Organic baby products are made without pesticides, fertilizers, antibiotics, growth hormones, genetically modified organisms, additives, irradiation or sewage sludge. The manufacturer of such a product can only make these claims in marketing and advertising materials, if the product has obtained organic certification."
