Why buy organic bamboo baby clothing?
Bamboo is becoming an increasingly popular fabric for all sorts of uses including designer clothes, sports wear, towels and socks. Organic bamboo baby clothes are particularly popular for a number of reasons that include the environment, health implications and their appealing qualities. Here are some of the main reasons that parents choose to buy organic bamboo baby clothes:

Environmental effects of pesticides-organic bamboo is a great alternative to conventional cotton which is grown using pecticides. Pesticides can have a detrimental effect on both the environment, the health and the livelihood of the farmers growing cotton.
Ethical Issues - organic bamboo is usually grown and manufatured ethically (and if covered by appropriate standards), it makes a good alternative to conventional cotton which is associated with so many ethical issues including the use of child labour in Uzbekistan to harvest it.
Children’s health - the effect on children’s health of chemical and pesticide residues in their clothes is not fully known. Many parents prefer not to take the risk by buying clothes that they can be sure are free of chemical residues.
Softness - Bamboo is particularly suitable for babies and their delicate skin due to its softness. It has been likened to a cross between cashmere and silk.
Quality - Organic bamboo baby clothes are usually made with quality in mind. Quality standards will show that the quality of the garments are strigently controlled.
Warm and cool - Another great thing about organic bamboo baby clothes is that they are warm in the winter and cool in the summer helping to keep babies comfortable at the right temperature.
