My O Baby is delivering healthy clothing alternatives for today’s babies. The chemical and pesticide free cotton which comprises our entire line is certified by The Control Union which guarantees that, addition to being free of chemicals and pesticides, the materials across our clothing lines are organically grown. To ensure that My O Baby is creating the safest garments possible, The Control Union has also certified that the snaps are nickel-free, dyes carry a minimum of metal content and that the garments will not cause the rashes and skin irritations which typically result from conventional cotton. The importance of chemical and pesticide free baby clothes has been reinforced by recent statistics on the content of dangerous elements in conventional cotton.    

According to Lotus Organics, "Millions of children in the US receive up to 35% of their estimated lifetime dose of some carcinogenic pesticides by age five through food, contaminated drinking water, household use, and pesticide drift". The most shocking aspect of this statement is that the children are receiving this exposure when they are the most susceptible to those poisonous elements. This dilemma is described in detail on Johnson and Johnson’s website where they state, "A baby's skin is thinner, more fragile and less oily than an adult's. A baby's skin also produces less melanin, the substance that helps protect against sunburn. It's less resistant to bacteria and harmful substances in the environment, especially if it's irritated. Babies also sweat less efficiently than the rest of us, so it's harder for them to maintain their inner body temperature." A baby’s skin is also more porous, meaning that impurities can pass into their systems in greater concentrations. When those impurities are carried in clothing that can be in contact with a baby’s skin for hours at a time, the potential for exposure to toxins increases dramatically.  

One of the potential carriers for these toxins is conventional cotton, one of the biggest crops grown for use in clothing production in the world. The industry, by itself, accounts for $2.6 billion in pesticide spending each year. Because cotton is not a food crop, it is not regulated in terms in terms of pesticides, herbicides, or chemicals that come in contact with it. According to the EPA, 7 out of the 15 pesticides that are regularly used on cotton carry labels classifying them as either potential or known carcinogens. The unregulated nature of cotton production explains why despite using only 2.4% of the world’s farmland, 25% of the world’s pesticides and 10% of its insecticides are used on it yearly. That calculates out to one pound of pesticide and one pound of chemical fertilizer for each pair of jeans or t-shirt produced. The conversion of this unregulated cotton into clothing requires additional chemicals that are added at various stages during the process. These chemicals include petroleum scours, softeners, brighteners, heavy metals, flame and soil retardants, ammonia and formaldehyde.

Considering those statistics, it’s not surprising that organic clothing for babies is rapidly gaining in popularity despite being more expensive than regular cotton apparel. In addition to being a much healthier choice, consumers are finding that clothes made of organic cotton last five to ten times longer than chemically treated cotton. The longevity of organic cotton clothes is attributed to the abuse that conventional cotton receives during processing where the breakdown of cotton fiber begins even before being sewn.    

It might be more expensive and more difficult to find at times but organic clothing brings so many healthy benefits it’s worth the money, time, and effort to put your baby into outfits that have not been touched chemicals and pesticides. Indeed, by lasting longer than conventional cotton clothes, they’re sure to make great hand-me-downs as well.

The 'Down Under' is famous for The Great Barrier Reef, the MCG, Kangaroos and Koalas, but did you know that near its red hot center, Alice Springs is famous for being the Beanie Capital of the World. Every year in the last week of June, the heart of winter in the southern hemisphere, Alice Springs comes alive with the Beanie Festival. Beanie hats are taken to all new heights of artistic expression.

The beanie hat's origin dates back to the early 20th century slang term 'bean' meaning head. Beanie hats were popular amongst school age boys from the 1920's to the 1940's. They fell out of popularity by the mid-1940's in favor of baseball cap styles. In the early 1990's, beanie hats saw a reemergence in popularity due to the 'grunge' clothing trend as well as the popularization of cold weather sports activities.

It's wise to start off with baby steps by talking about the range of Rabbit Skins beanie hats. Begun in 1982 as L.A. T Sportswear's first brand, today Rabbit Skins is the leader for infant and toddler clothing in the imprintable apparel industry. Rabbit Skins continues to have the basics, such as having the most colors for infant and toddler tees, yet has also added fashion apparel to keep up with the changing styles of juvenile sportswear. The Pacifier white infant organic beanie cap is such a cute graphic that would look amazing on any item. Grandma's Lovebug white infant beanie cap is a super cute design! A great gift-idea for your little grandchildren. Let them know how much you love them as it's sure to please! Apart from these, customize your Rabbit Skin beanie caps in colors ranging from blue to pink to tan with personalized patriotic police, lovely little ladybug, baseball teams, you name it!

The original basic version of the Beanie hat is the Fitted cap Beanie Hats usually in a knit style. A staple for every wardrobe is the Whirlibird Watch Cap from Columbia that echoes the classic sailor cap and keeps your head warm no matter where your adventures take you. A Carhartt favorite is the Logo Work ski Adjustable Beanie hat that customers have been counting on for year. Its comfortable one-size-fits-all knows how to keep one warm. The Carhartt logo is featured on the front and the hat comes in many great colors, something to coordinate with just about any work wear, plus bright lime and bright orange that help you stay visible in darker conditions. The official Barcelona Football Club reversible beanie cap lets you stay stylish and show your team spirit! Turn it inside out for a different logo and colors, built to last for seasons to come!

Mountain Equipment has been making some of the finest outdoor gear in the world since 1961. Their experience in equipping for the harshest conditions on earth is legendary. They have been part of over 100 Everest expeditions, participated in every British ascent of an 8000m peak and unsupported trips to both poles. Mountain Beanie hats are a true reflection of this legendary brand. Take your pick from the Mountain Hardwear men's Windstopper Micro Dome Beanie for when extreme weather resistance and breathability are musts as it provides exceptional protection against the elements. Belaying a friend during the early morning hours, don't let the cool breeze freeze your ears, pull on the Mountain Hardwear Men's Heat Stamp Beanie or the Mountain Hardwear Men's Moniker Beanie, a reversible beanie featuring a jacquard nut logo available in several colors and shades.

Hip-hop is signified in large by big name rappers like Eminem, Snoop Dog and 50 cent. The image that springs to mind wouldn't be complete without the presence of a beanie. Popularized by these artists, the hip-hop image is accessible with an array of rapper beanie hats. The Beanbeanie leopard pattern beanie hat is made from high performance wicking polyester-lycra fabric that allows the choice of a multitude of stylish prints. The Tan knit commando beanie hat features a diesel commando beanie hat with pressed small Diesel Logo. Interesting is the officially licensed wolverine all-over-comic knit beanie hat or the premium Woodland Camouflage knit beanie in a convenient one size fits all.
