Our first instincts as parents is to protect our children. So we buy baby monitors and childproof the house. But what about the clothing we put on our little ones? Did you know that newborn babies are especially vulnerable to the pesticide residue found in the fibers of conventional cotton clothing because their immune systems are still developing? Exposure to these chemicals can lead to ailments such as allergies and eczema. I speak from experience. We battled severe eczema and cradle cap when Marlie was an infant until I switched her clothes and bedding to organic fabrics. 
Funkoos is a line of organic baby apparel that caters to parents looking for clothing that is chemical/pesticide free and affordable. The Funkoos collection ranges in sizes from newborn to 24 months and includes accessories such as bibs, booties, and wash cloths. Pictured on Marlie's doll baby (because the real model isn't due until mid-April) is one of the short sleeve organic bodysuits:
Isn't is beyond cute? There is no tag to irritate baby's skin. What I like best is the feel. There is a noticeable difference in the feel of organic cotton versus conventional cotton clothing.The organic cotton is super soft and pliable. I can put it over my face and breathe, whereas the regular cotton clothing feels grainy, rigid, and the air flow is restricted. I adore this bodysuit so much that I ordered another one on Amazon.com! You should definitely want organic clothes on your baby's skin and Funkoos should be your shopping destination!
Buy It: Funkoos organic short sleeve bodysuits retail for $23.99.
Win It: Win your choice of the stacked monkeys/boy or stacked elephant/girl organic bodysuit pictured above! Open to US residents.

Please, we need more clothes without tags - for babies and grownups! I cut the tags out of everything for me and the Babby because they irritate our skin so badly.
Extremely cute! I may have missed it, but will you be registering somewhere?

We do cloth diapers! LOVE THEM
We've been cloth diapering our baby since she was born. We love it: good for the environment, good for baby's health, good for the wallet :)
I am cloth diapering my two sons currently. I am also using old clothing to make pants for my two boys and short and skirts for my daughter rather then throwing them away! :)
