VIDEO FOR TEETHER/PLUSH SET
I'm always perplexed when parents spend a fortune preparing for baby's arrival, yet when it comes to baby clothes, they don't buy organic because it's ''too expensive.'' I can't help but think that if these parents knew the chemicals they were exposing their babies to, organic would feel like a small price to pay for their babies' health.
Conventional cotton is the most heavily sprayed crop in the world, and the chemicals used are considered the most toxic in farming. The workers who come in contact with these sprays have a high rate of cancer, and the toll it takes on the environment isn't pretty either. And then there's the process of turning cotton into clothing with even more chemicals being added, such as formaldehyde, bromines, urea resins, and fire retardants, to name a few.
I shudder when I see teething babies sucking and gumming non-organic fabrics. That's why I'm such a fan of this ''Fresh Organic Fruit Basket.'' Inside the tote are three ultra-soft, friendly-faced fruits: a banana, grape, and watermelon. Each one is made and stuffed with 100% organic Egyptian cotton. No pesticides or chemicals were used throughout the entire production process, and the vibrant colors come from metal-free vegetable dyes. That means no worries about lead and no worries about PVC (which has been shown to cause developmental delays and even hearing loss in children).
Not only is the toy maker contributing to the health of babies and the environment, but she is also transforming the lives of the women who proudly make the toys. And how wonderful for one of your child's first loves to be sweet fruit! The fruits range in size from 6'' long x 3'' wide for the largest (watermelon) to 4 1/2'' x 1 1/2'' for the smallest (banana).
