As parents become more eco-conscious, buying organic clothes that are kind to both babies and our planet is more important than ever. While buying organic baby clothes was once a luxury there is now an abundance of brands providing eco-friendly clothing for varying budgets.
Organic clothing is toxin-free, kinder to the skin, and, generally, has less environmental impact than mass-produced children’s wear. Investing in good quality organic baby clothing means that you need to buy less often and, as the materials are very durable, you can pass them on to others or keep them for your next baby.
We take a look at the best organic baby clothing brands on the market, looking at the main benefits of buying sustainable clothes for your baby.
