Another is that the clothes could contain pesticides. Organic baby clothes are made with cotton or hemp that isn't treated with chemicals. Traditional baby clothes are typically made of fabrics sprayed with pesticides, but they are also so heavily processed that the vast majority of the pesticide residues are washed out of the clothing before you ever button them up. Expert weighs in: "Most babies won't have an allergy or sensitivity to any of these," Rabinowitz says. So unless your baby's skin is irritated by a certain fabric, go ahead and buy what's cutest instead of what's certified organic. You'll pay a significant premium for organic baby clothes for little benefit – and at the rate that babies grow it's not worth the extra money for a onesie they'll wear twice. Is it worth it?
