Exposure to allergenic and chemical-laden materials can cause a variety of health problems in babies. Here are some potential issues that may arise:
-
Allergic reactions: Babies can be more sensitive to allergens and chemicals than adults, and exposure to these substances through their clothes can cause allergic reactions such as rashes, redness, and irritation.
-
Respiratory problems: Some chemicals used in the production of clothes, such as formaldehyde, can cause respiratory problems in babies.
-
Hormonal disruption: Some chemicals used in the production of clothes, such as phthalates, have been linked to hormonal disruption in babies.
-
Developmental problems: Exposure to certain chemicals during pregnancy or in early childhood has been linked to developmental problems in babies, such as learning disabilities and behavioral issues.
It's important to choose safe and natural materials for baby clothes to minimize the risk of these health problems. Look for clothes made from natural, hypoallergenic materials like cotton, bamboo, and wool, and avoid synthetic materials and clothes treated with chemicals.
We wrote an article about "How To Choose Baby Clothes Made From Safe And Natural Materials?", you can read more about that and also about the OEKO-Tex Standard 100 that certifies our baby clothes.
