With baby crashing out 16-17 hours a day, she’s going to be spending a lot of time in her bed. That’s why it’s especially important to create a pure and healthy environment for her to catch some ZZZs.

Did you know that conventionally grown cotton accounts for 25% of the pesticides used worldwide? Often times, cotton is treated with formaldehyde and toxic dyes … all things I’m not too excited about wrapping baby up in each night.

I think it’s a no-brainer to choose organic cotton (or eco-friendly bamboo, which is typically not treated with chemicals) for baby’s crib sheets.

Silky soft and free of toxic pesticides and chemical fertilizers, organic sheets are also free of harsh bleaches and dyes – making them the perfect place for baby to rest her sensitive skin. And going organic for bedding doesn’t mean you have to choose blah neutrals, take a peek at our assortment of colorful organic crib sets and sheets.
