The market is plagued by pesticide-rich crib bedding sets that do nothing good for your baby. Getting organic baby crib bedding may not only let your child sleep more comfortably, but it will also help you sleep, knowing that baby is as safe as he or she can possibly be. Organic crib sets usually come in a few colors that indicate their organic and natural nature. Colors such as wheat, which go well with many other wood-like baby items and nursery furniture you already may have.
The material used for organic crib bedding can vary. In some cases, a type of cotton treated with chemical repressives makes its way into consumer hands. A lot of popular manufacturers such as Graco and Simplicity use this type of product.
In other cases, and much more natural, only organic cotton with dyes that are AZO-free are used. This is by far the best approach. You usually get the bumper, crib sheets (usually two or three of these) and the blanket. The blanket is one of the most important things to keep as organic and safe as possible. There must be a compromise between keeping things natural and organic and also prevent bed mites from absolutely invading your baby’s crib. You don’t want that, believe me. So where is this compromise? Each baby furniture manufacturer has their own approach to this situation.
A popular one seems to be going over the cotton with one treatment of bed-mite protection. This has worked quite well, although there will always be people who oppose anything unnatural. The thing is, you are really leaving the door open for bed and dust mites / bugs to come and settle where your baby girl or buy sleeps! So while organic crib bedding still has a few things that need to be tweaked, it is certainly a great choice for the discerning parent.
