Would you like to know where to find organic children’s clothes? These brands are mostly made from cotton, linen or hemp. Linen is liable to wrinkle easily, but organic cotton is a good material, as is hemp. Both are soft and hard-wearing, last for years and cause no hassle to grow. The fibres also last longer, as they have not been treated with chemicals. So you can pass the clothes to the next child. See clothing brands that help animals (many of these companies that donate to animal charities also offer organic cotton t-shirts and other clothes for children). Also see where to find vegan children’s shoes.
For their rainwear and a few other items that are made from recycled polyester, wash in a Guppyfriend (stops plastic fibres breaking off in the machine, and reaching the sea, where they could harm marine creatures).
NHS suggests to help avoid crib death, to avoid over-heating children with sleeping bags (and take off warm hats and extra bedding if babies are in warm areas, including cars).
