Why should one use organic cotton in baby and children's clothing?
Conventional cotton clothes contain pesticide residues which can end up on the baby's skin and be absorbed by the body.  In addition, cotton pesticides contaminate ground and surface water. An estimated 67 million birds are killed every year from pesticides.

Why is organic cotton so much softer then conventional cotton?
In order to get the soft feel that Demeter certified organic cotton is known for, the cotton yarn is handled with great care during the knitting or weaving process. For example, only natural starch is used during the weaving process.
