According to studies five out of the 9 pesticides most commonly used in making cotton clothing have cancer-causing chemicals, they are cyanazine, dicofil, naled, propargite and trifluralin. Also, National Cancer Institute have found out on their study since 1987 that children exposed to pesticides in their homes or gardens had 7 times more risk of having leukemia than other children.
Then, just imagine your children wearing baby clothing made from this cotton that uses pesticides. Well, it is the truth, but until today most of us are still using them. Then why is it? Because they are the items available in the market, we have no choice; they are economical and quite accessible to the market. Unless we wanted to be go back to the beginning and let our children wear leaves, then I guess that would not be practical, health wise.
But what if we have a choice? Baby products like organic clothing for babies , organic toys, organic utensils and others accessories are available in the market, just a bit expensive than the ordinary ones. Then I guess, more and more parents will be mindful enough to use organic baby products. Of course they rather see their children using toxic free baby bedding than toxic ones.
Thankfully, these items are now available in the market. Maybe it is not yet widely accepted due to the price constraints but hopefully in the near future, for the sake of our children, using organic baby products will be widely accepted and be the norm.
