Organic has often been restricted to the food sector, but everyday baby products have also gone organic. We all have our reasons for preferring to buy Organic: protecting the planet, offering our baby natural products... To consume better, here is a small selection of the different Organic products that can be found for Baby:
Cosmetics for protected
skin infant has very thin skin because it contains little fat to protect it. It is therefore very vulnerable and it is only around the age of 4 that the skin will develop its protective function. It is only at the age of 12 that the child will have the same skin resistance as that of an adult. It is therefore essential to choose products that do not harm Baby's skin. Compared to traditional cosmetics (from petroleum chemistry), organic products are composed of 95% plant origin. These natural products contain much fewer chemical substances and are therefore much less aggressive for the skin. There are many organic cosmetics suitable for babies: washing gel, protective cream, cleansing milk, cleansing lotion, etc.
Washable diapers
To reduce waste, instead of using the traditional disposable diaper, there are reusable washable diapers. The advantage of using them is to spend a smaller budget. Indeed, on average, over 3 years, the budget devoted to disposable diapers is around 1600 euros, while with washable diapers the budget is around 300 euros. It is also well-being for Baby because there are no chemical substances, and diaper rash is considerably reduced. The downside is having to do laundry every two/three days. There are organic reusable diaper trial kits available to test them and see if this method suits you.
Organic accessories for baby's sleep
There are sleeping bags, bed bumpers, duvets and fitted sheets made from organic cotton. You can also find comforters made from 100% natural cotton from organic farming. They are hypoallergenic and have resistance to bacteria. This allows you to have “healthy” accessories, without chemical substances.
You can find these organic accessories on sites specializing in the field of childcare such as that of Petite Frimousse which offers organic products specially designed for babies.
