How parents can achieve peaceful sleep and a healthy, allergy free baby

The human body is like a sponge and soaks up chemicals through the lungs, the skin and the digestive system. As babies spend most of their first year sleeping, organic bedding is the most important part of a natural nursery.

Most new mattresses are made from conventional polyurethane foam (made from chemicals) which can emit harmful compounds that are absorbed into the skin and lungs. In addition, baby sheets, blankets and quilts are made from man made fibres that are then chemically dyed and this further adds to the levels of chemicals that are being absorbed into a baby's skin.

Creating a pure, natural environment is an important choice for a growing number of parents. Choosing 100% organic cotton is the first step toward natural living, both for our sensitive babies, as well as our environment.

Pesticide and chemically-treated clothing, nappies and bedding block the natural balance of the skin by trapping heat and preventing it from "breathing" which can cause rashes and eczema on sensitive skin. Organic cotton is pure and natural and allows the skin to breathe.

Sydney based online store, Natural Form, have just taken on the Nest Organics bedding line.

Store owner, Justine Whitfield says "through the use of organic cotton the team at Nest Organics are providing a holistic solution for parents wanting to reduce their baby's contact with harmful chemicals and still create a stylish and functional nursery".

The Nest Organics bedding line offers attention to detail, including embroidery and unique designs, using fairly traded eco-friendly organic cotton and offers quality products which can be handed down from generation to generation.
