Organic Cotton Baby Items




I feel it is important to purchase items for my family that I can feel good about. I try to purchase organic cotton toys, clothing, and household goods whenever possible. Organic cotton is so much softer than traditionally farmed cotton. It uses less water and eliminates the use of pesticides which keeps our soil and ground water safe and clean. I blogged about the benefits of Organic Cotton a couple of months ago, check it out here.
One company who specializes in Organic Cotton toys and children's clothing is Under the Nile. All of the Cotton used at Under the Nile is 100% Organic Cotton from Egypt. Under the Nile's mission statement is "Concern for the environment, humanity, and ethical business practices working harmoniously as one".
The company takes part in the 13 Villages Project which provides healthier living conditions for impoverished people living in Egypt. Your purchase of these organic baby clothes actually helps people live better lives. The money doesn't end up in the coffers of some huge corporation but in the hands of villagers in Egypt.
You can truly feel good about dressing your child in the 100% Egyptian Cotton Clothes or to soothe your child with an organic cotton teething toy. Not only does it soothe your baby or keep them soft and warm, but it improves the lives of others.
Make the conscious choice to do something positive in the world today. You can find a wide array of organic cotton items from Under the Nile available at Hip Mountain Mama.
