The same can be said for products such as organic baby clothing, organic crib sheets, baby blankets, crib matttresses and other baby accessories.  These organic products are healthier because they do not contain the harmful chemicals that are found in other “regular” products.

It is important from the very beginning to provide a clean environment that does not produce off-gasing from the chemicals in baby bedding and clothing.  Non-organic clothing and bedding contains flame retardant chemicals that could be very harmful and be the trigger for asthma in your infant.  Try to provide your baby with baby products to cut down the risk of exposure to these  triggers.  Use organic baby clothing, baby accessories, baby blankets and baby bedding to create a safer, more allergen free atmosphere.
