bamboo basics for happy and healthy babies

 

It looks that organic fabrics are much more expensive that those traditionally grown. But, what is the real price that we pay for a regular fabric? Did you know that every T-shirt made of conventional cotton requires 1/4 pound of harmful chemicals. Many of these chemicals are known to cause cancer in humans.


Bamboo is the eco-wonder of the world. Bamboo fabrics are the perfect choice for babies’ delicate skin. They combine the softness of bamboo with the durability of cotton.

Bamboo plant:        Bamboo grass:
Grows rapidly and naturally with little water and 
    without pesticides, herbicides or fertilizers; 
 Growing bamboo improves soil quality and helps
     rebuild eroded soil.
Bamboo plantations are large potosynthesis “factories” 
   which reduce greenhouse gases, as emit 35% more
  oxygen than the equivalent stand of trees.
 Bamboo clothing is 100% biodegradable

The process of making bamboo fiber uses less chemicals that harm the environment

Benefits of the Bamboo fabric:

Extremely soft, feeling like pure cashmere;
The round shape of the fiber makes it ideal for skin allergies, sensitivities or eczema
Thermal regulator:  newborns have a hard time regulating body temperature; bamboo fabrics keeps baby warmer than cotton in cool weather and two to three degrees cooler than cotton in hot weather
Highly absorbent, "wicks” moisture away from the skin keeping the body naturally drier and more comfortable;
 Antibacterial and anti-fungal, even through multiple washings due to a bacteriostatic agent called “bamboo kun", prevents bacterial growth and odor

Benefits of the Organic Cotton fabric:

Grown without the use of chemical pesticides, herbicides or fertilizers
Doesn’t use genetically modified seeds
