As more and more consumers are looking for organic options in everything from food to clothes to baby gear, Organic Babylegs offer an eco-conscious choice for the style conscious baby!
Babylegs are the answer to the age old question: how to keep a baby’s legs cozy? When in arms, baby pants often get hiked up so their chubby little calves and ankles end up exposed to the elements. This can be a particular problem for babies worn in baby carriers.
Nicole Donnelly, the inventor of Babylegs, created them for another purpose: to allow her daughter to have bare tushie time without freezing said tushie off, and protecting her legs while she crawled around. Babylegs are a wonderful insurance against the cold air during diaper changes, and especially convenient for families doing Elimination Communication. And once a baby starts to toddle, Babylegs add extra protection for sweet little knees that are bound to go bang several times each day.
Nicole knew she’d found a winning idea when she sold over 100 pairs of homemade Babylegs in the first two weeks she made them. People everywhere wanted to know where they could get some for their baby, and Nicole was prepared with a stock of Babylegs in her diaper bag.
Nicole quickly realized her diaper bag wasn’t big enough to satisfy the growing demand for Babylegs. Babylegs has been in official business since 2005. Within one year, little legs in more than fifteen countries were warmed and protected by Babylegs. Natural Organic Cotton and Natural Organic Wool Babylegs are made in Vermont. All other Organic Babylegs are made in China through a wonderful manufacturer.
People are often surprised to discover that one size of Babylegs fits almost everyone. They’re great for completely covering newborn legs, but adults can (and do!) even wear Babylegs like footless knee-high socks. The standard size is 33 cm, and Babylegs come in an amazing array of colors and designs, to fit every outfit. You’ll quickly find you can’t have just one pair!
And why organic? Cotton crops account for 25% of all the insecticides used globally every year. Five of the top nine pesticides used on cotton in the US are known carcinogens and all of them are classified by the EPA as dangerous chemicals. There are currently 400 pesticides currently on the market that have not been registered to determine if they cause cancer, birth defects or wildlife toxicity.
When you buy Organic Babylegs, you know only safe and chemical free fabric is touching your precious baby’s skin. And if all that isn’t enough, when you buy Organic Babylegs, you are also supporting the organic cotton industry.
Finally, the seeds and fibers of the cotton plant are fed to cattle, which then work their way onto our plates and into our milk. Cottonseed oil is also a main ingredient in processed foods. Because cotton is considered a fiber and not a food, farmers use extraordinary amounts of toxic chemicals to produce it. But ultimately, the toxic chemicals used to produce cotton make their way into our diet. By using Organic Babylegs, you contribute to keeping those chemicals out of your diet, your breast milk, and your baby!
