Best to stick with organic merino wool for baby blankets and clothes.

Exposure to harsh chemicals could result into hypersensitivity reactions such as dermatitis. To be safe and have a peace of mind, we parents must provide our children with clothes that are 100% organic like the products of http://bit.ly/deyt6N . They have great products for children and for adults too. Children have the most sensitive skin. Exposure to harsh chemicals could result into hypersensitivity reactions such as dermatitis.

They smelled really bad and even though I washed them like 5 times, they still smelled horribly. I never used them and ended up giving them away. They must have put tons of formaldehyde in these dresses. Not all of Gymboree's clothing smells though. My daughter got two jeans dresses from Gymboree for her 1st birthday about a year ago.

What is available is overly priced. I was searching Pottery Barn's website and found 100% organic cotton sheets that are Oeko-Tex certified BUT the next line states, "treated with an Easy care finish". I called to find out what this means and was told they are treated with a wrinkle guard. But as of next month they will no longer be treated and the customer rep said the sheets would need to be removed from the dryer immediately to reduce wrinkles! I told her wrinkles were the least of my concerns, I don't want my kids sleeping in chemicals. I’ve been searching for fun chemical free bedding to help transition my son to his own bed.
