🫣 Did you know that most comforters and teddies are made from polyester, a synthetic fibre derived from petroleum? 😰. Stuffed teddies containing foam also contain flame retardants, formaldehyde, and dyes that can enter your baby’s bloodstream in under 30 seconds 😥
Why is this a problem?
As our babies snuggle with their comforters, and often suck or chew on them to self-soothe, they are then exposed to significant amounts of toxins through inhalation and skin absorption 😥. Once inside their body, these microplastics breakdown, releasing harmful chemicals into their blood stream 😥
What can we do? 🤔
We strongly recommend investing in comforters made from natural fibres such as 100% GOTS-certified organic cotton, bamboo, hemp, or linen 🌿. Not only are these materials breathable, absorbent, and hypoallergenic, but they are grown without toxic pesticides or synthetic fertilisers, and are free from microplastics such as @maudnlilorganic certified organic cotton and bamboo comforters 🥰🙌🏻🩷
