My Favorite Organic Cotton Socks for Babies & Toddlers - Ecoland Product Review and Giveaway!
Ecoland sent me a three pack of organic cotton socks for Baby, and I have been loving them! I've had a really difficult time finding socks that fit Baby well and actually stay on. I'm happy to report that after wearing these socks off and on for a week, these socks never came off Baby unless I pulled them off. Baby spends a lot of time pulling and chewing on his socks, so this means a lot.He is 10 months old, and we tried the 12-24 month size, which was a great fit. These socks also come in toddler sizes.
As you can see from this picture, these baby organic cotton socks are adorable. Technically, these are girls' socks, but my little man looks adorable in them. I'm not one for gender stereotyping, and I think the flower on the sock is such a cute eco-friendly design.
As far as washing goes, I put these socks in the washer and dryer twice in the past week and they came out looking brand new each time.Besides the great fit, sweet design, and material quality, the most compelling reason to try these organic cotton socks is to dress your little one in the best of the best: organic cotton. Ecoland sent me the following information:
Organic cotton is grown without the use of toxic chemicals, sewage sludge, irradiation or genetic engineering, and is certified by an accredited independent organization. Instead of these toxic chemicals, organic farmers use beneficial insects, crop rotation, compost, cover crops, and weed by hand or machine in order to build soil quality, enhance biodiversity, and protect the air and water on which we depend.
You have to appreciate the love for our environment and hard work that goes into the Ecoland socks on your little one's feet!As parents, we want to protect our children, and babies and children are the most vulnerable to health risks related to pesticides. By choosing organic cotton clothing from a company like Ecoland, you are reducing their exposure to toxic and persistent pesticides on their skin.One more reason to buy Ecoland products is to support a truly caring company.
