Why is Organic Clothing Better for Babies? | Upchoose

The baby and children clothes we find in retail stores or online are usually made of cotton, polyester (and other synthetic fibers), or a combination of the two. Here's why it is a problem:<ul><li>Conventional, non-organic cotton is often considered the “world’s dirtiest crop” as it uses about 16% of the world’s insecticides and 7% of pesticides.</li><li>Polyester and other synthetic fibers, on the other hand, are derived from petroleum and treated with thousands of potentially harmful chemicals during production.</li></ul>

<h6 class="ql-align-justify">This article was originally published on Chicago Now</h6> According to a 2010 USDA report, the average middle-income family will spend roughly $12,000 on child-related expenses in their baby's first year of life. By age two, parents are up to more than $12,500 per year. As the mother of four, I’m well aware of how overwhelming and wasteful this can get.As I’ve become more interested in health and sustainability, I’ve also learned that many of these clothes are made with&nbsp;<a href="http://www.thedigproject.dk/planets/a-little-story-about-the-monsters-in-your-closet" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(201, 42, 42); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">hazardous chemicals</a>. Babies are more vulnerable because of their sensitive skin and the fact that their bodies and brains are still developing. Yet, sustainable alternatives like organic clothing are hard to find and significantly more expensive. And because babies grow so fast, many clothes will only be used a few times, resulting in overspending, clutter, and waste. According to the EPA, 26 billion pounds of apparel and textiles&nbsp;<a href="http://www.sustainablebrands.com/news_and_views/behavior_change/sustainable_brands/new_report_finds_people_still_throwing_away_shrt_t" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(201, 42, 42); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">end up in landfills each year</a>&nbsp;in the US, and children clothing is a significant portion of that.UpChoose was started to help solve this. It is a&nbsp;mission-driven company helping moms make mindful choices starting with baby clothing. They offer moms all the essential baby clothing in one set, all 100% organic, delivered at each phase of their baby’s growth.
