Pure Beginnings
Organic Baby Clothing and Accessories
Reviewed by Tricia Ballad
Who wouldn’t love knowing her baby was surrounded by only the purest natural
fibers, without any harsh chemical residues? I recently had the opportunity to
try out a selection of Pure Beginnings’ product line with my newborn.
Pure Beginnings offers a line of 100 percent organic cotton baby clothing, bedding
and cloth diapers.
Advantages
So soft! Both the Pure Beginnings blanket and
tie kimono are incredibly soft and cozy, wonderful against delicate
newborn skin.
Well made Just by looking at the workmanship,
it’s obvious that these items would be just as beautiful
and comforting for a second or third child.
Breathable Organic cotton is naturally more
breathable than non-organic cotton fabric, due to the lack of
residue from half a dozen different chemicals used in the farming
and processing of the cotton. This means less skin irritation,
heat and diaper rash.
Disadvantages
Burp cloth thickness I found the burp cloth’s
three layers of sherpa cotton too thick to use as a burp cloth,
although it would make a good diaper doubler or changing pad.
Cost Organic clothing, like organic food, tends
to cost more than its mass produced non-organic counterpart,
and this is no exception. In this case, you do get what
you pay for: the security of knowing what’s not
touching your baby’s sensitive skin, and sturdy, well-made
clothing that can be passed down several times over.
