Organic Cotton Baby Sheets

Hi We have recently invested in organic mattresses for our two babies as we believe that the chemicals in normal mattresses maybe harmful to our babies. However, do we now need to buy organic cotton sheets or would the chemicals and pesticides in these sheets be washed out in a normal washing machine?

I would stick with the organic.

I really want to use organic materials around our baby, but I'm a huge fan of bold colors. The two don't seem to mix. Has anyone found a place to buy a crib bedding set (sheets, bumpers, etc.) that have bold colors?

I used to shop bedding for my children from character comforts site. They have many good bedding and i think you can also find bedding of your choice from their site.

Many organic bedding sets have no print on them, which is a little too boring for me. I think Coyuchi baby prints are ugly. The Pixel Piece print is cute but it is too bright. I want a soft color. The closest I have found is the Nature's Purest (Hug Me) Collection found in Babies R Us website. http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp ?productId=2671050 Maybe someone can check the link and get an idea of what I want. And if I see a fitted crib sheet with a nice print, they usually don't have a whole crib or nursery set (If at the least, I would like to have the bumber, fitted sheet, and blanket all matching). The Nature's Purest collection is fine, but I'm the type of person that likes to have options, not have to choose by default. I commend the "organic" companies for trying at least, but it's not that hard. I can do with out the pink and blues. Actually I prefer the natural colors cotton makes; soft browns, yellows, and greens. Hopefully someone has an answer. Thanks

if you cant find full sets you like, maybe you could do something like choose a color scheme... I think the soft browns and greens make a great combination... and just have lots of solids that coordinate in your color palette... then just decorate the room with other things to make it more colorful or if you like monkeys or bears...

My aunt's baby has skin rashes and becomes very irratible especially at night time. We changed all the baby's clothes to eithe 100% cotton or organic. We changed the detergent. All the baby's materials like blankets and bumpers and bed sheets are all either cotton or organic. We checked if he had a milk allergy and that doesn't seem to be the case.

Help!!! what could the baby's allergy be? The pediatrician took tests and the results are unknown. The baby is only on formula and has not yet started any type of cereal or solid foods. The pediatrician also perscibed rash cream and allergy medicine to be taken at night time but it doesn't help baby at all.

Please share asap!!!
the baby has been using the same shampoo, soaps, and wipes ever since he was born and no allergic reaction to any of those either.

Most formulas contain quite a lot of soy, milk, and corn. So I'm guessing that its probably one of those.

Alimentum Ready-To-Feed is corn-free.. so you could try that for a week and see if anything improves.

If not, then you could switch to something milk-free, or soy-free.. until you find the solution.

Allergy tests for babies are not very reliable.. so you're going to have to do a lot of trial and error.

As for detergents, it still could be the detergent even if you changed types.. you may want to try All Free & Clear.. many people with allergies have done very well with it. The only cases I know of that haven't done well with it, are people with a coconut allergy.

I'm highly suspicous that this may be a corn allergy, esp since the creams and allergy medicine aren't helping. Most creams and medications contain corn, so that may inactivate the helpfulness of the medication.

You might could try Cortizone ointment (cortizone in petroleum jelly) and see if that helps. Don't use much of it.. or regularly though as the steriod in it can damage the skin in repeated uses. But it would help you figure out what the problem might be.
