Organic <a href="http://www.carters.com/">baby clothes</a>
are an excellent option for those who wish to select the best and the most
perfect clothing for their little ones. Organic pure cotton is known to be good
for our skin and body system as well as for a secure and cleaner environment.
Organic cotton is normally grown without the application of the dangerous
chemicals, powerful bleaches or pesticides. Therefore, the amount of such
dangerous substances that goes into the soil, air and water is reduced in
significant amounts. As a result, the chances of polluting the environment are
effectively reduced. It additionally helps to maintain soil fertility apart
from building a biologically diverse farming system.<o:p></o:p></div>

<br />
<b>Benefits of Organic Baby Clothes<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
Natural fabrics like pure cotton allow excellent air circulation, a process
that aids in the removal and absorption of body moisture. This also helps to
keep your body system dry and cool in moist and hot weather. Organic pure
cotton is more preferred due to its several advantages, for instance, it is
usually grown using natural fertilizers, and toxic substances and pesticides
are not at all used during its harvesting. They are used to make organic
clothes without requiring the application of powerful bleaches and dyes. Such
clothes made from organic fabrics minimize one's exposure to industrial toxins
and chemicals, which usually lead to allergic reactions and other illnesses
including respiratory problems. As a result, therefore, those babies who suffer
from allergies and other forms of chemical sensitivities get various health
benefits from these organic clothes.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<b>How to Choose<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
A baby's skin is always very sensitive and delicate, and as such, you need to
be extra careful while selecting his or her outfits. Your baby will definitely
benefit from organic clothing as they have been proven to be 100 percent
natural and safe. Organic baby clothes are also available in varieties of
styles, colors and designs. They are often made from organic materials, mostly
organic pure cotton, and as such are luxuriously soft and soothing on babies'
skin. The major advantage of organic clothing is that they are always dust-mite
resistant and hypo-allergenic. This, in essence, implies that your child's skin
remains completely safe and healthy when dressed in organic outfits. This also
explains why many parents go for organic clothes, such as, organic baby
beddings and diapers.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
While shopping, parents should ensure that these clothes are actually made from
100 percent organic cotton. They also need to select a well-known brand so as
to get high quality products. Organic baby clothes are available in large
numbers ranging from trousers to child caps, booties, skullcaps, T-shirts,
skirts, rompers, body suits, sweaters, baby gowns, crawlers, shorts, play suits
and terry sets. Organic blanket is the best option for your child to enjoy a
comfortable sleep. Organic baby diapers are also a suitable buy as they absorb
the wetness and keep the baby's skin dry. Thus, with the use of these organic
diapers, the chances of fungal infections being experienced due to wetness is
reduced, and as a result, your child is well protected from <a href="http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/baby-rashes/FL00090">skin rashes</a> and
any allergic reactions.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
You can equally play a part in protection of the environment from potentially
dangerous chemicals by purchasing these organic baby outfits. Such clothes are
great for your child's skin. After all, the most important thing, you should
never compromise on, is your baby's health.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
After a tasking pregnancy period, the birth of a baby is
usually welcomed with huge relief and joy. Those close to you wait with baited
breath for the precious <a href="http://www.paperstyle.com/is-bin/Baby-Announcements.html">birth
announcement</a>, while those who are a bit distance may be taken by surprise.
Either way, announcing the birth of your baby is a very important step and
should be well thought of prior to the birth. You can choose to let people know
as soon as you leave the delivery room, or you can give yourself time to
recover first before letting the word out. There are a number of fun avenues of
announcing the birth of your baby. Here are some examples:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
1) Social Networks<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
Sites like Twitter and Facebook have become part of our lives. You may have
used them before to give your online friends a sneak peak of what is going on
in your life, and the arrival of your baby is no exception. Make the post creative
and fun. You can say something about yourself; 'motherhood/fatherhood here I
come!' or center it on the baby. One parent described his newborn son as a
'fine young man' and went ahead to state 'I hereby declare this day a public
holiday!'. This just shows you that you can come up with entertaining ways of
passing the message. You can go ahead and add pictures and videos of your
little one. These updates go viral within minutes and you you're your family
and friends flooding your page with congratulatory messages.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
2) Phone Calls<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
These apply to close friends and family who have had the chance to walk with
you down the pregnancy journey. If you had not carried out a scan to find out
the sex of the baby, such phone calls start with the all so familiar 'it's a
boy!' or 'it's a girl!'. Amid the excitement, the recipient might enquire about
the name, weight, looks of the baby and so on. <a href="http://www.skype.com/intl/en-us/home">Skype</a> is another awesome method
of announcing the birth of your baby. It's especially useful if the people are
overseas, you do not have to worry about the call rates. Your friends and
family get an opportunity to see you and most importantly the baby and you can
communicate to several people at the same time.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
3) Text Messages and Emails<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
These two have been grouped together as they allow you to send one message to
several people at once. Such messages are not very specific, just generic
information on the arrival of the baby. They are less time consuming and can be
sent to tens or even hundreds of people at the click of a button.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
4) Baby Blog<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
If you wish to fill people in on every detail of your baby, set up a baby blog
which will not only be used in announcing the birth of your baby but also
updating on the progress. Link your social media pages to the blog so that your
visitors can easily find their way. With a blog you can include photos, videos,
interactive comments, growth charts and so on. You can also leave some space
for future siblings!<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
The arrival of a baby in the family is a joyous moment for
the mother and father of the newborn. Both of them are eager to announce the
arrival of the new born to their friends and other members of their family.
Even though word-of-mouth announcements are quite popular and commonly used,
there are several other unique options you can choose from to let your loved
ones to know about this special occasion.<br />
<br />
<b>Greeting Cards - the Traditional Method</b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
One of the most popular options of making <a href="http://www.paperstyle.com/is-bin/Baby-Announcements.html">birth
announcements</a> is to send greeting cards. If you want to opt for a
traditional method then this is your best option. However, this method is quite
outdated. This article will provide you with insights on how to announce the
birth of your child, to the world, in a special way. You have several options
to choose from.<br />
<br />
<b>Personalized Chocolate Wrappers</b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
Chocolate wrappers are the rage nowadays and provide you with a unique option
to make birth announcements of your baby to your friends and family members.
There are numerous organizations that specialize in manufacturing such
wrappers. You have to provide them with details like the name of the baby,
his/her parents, grandparents, brothers and sisters etc. You should also
include the date and time when the baby was born. All ths information will be
printed on the wrapper, which can then be wrapped on chocolate slabs. Provide
the organization with the chocolate slabs you plan to send. They will
manufacture a wrapper of suitable dimensions, wrap the chocolates in them, and
then send it to you.<br />
<br />
<b>Unique Picture Cookies</b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
How about taking a picture of your baby and getting the same printed on a
cookie? Several bakeries use specialized printers, capable of printing the
image of your newborn baby on freshly-baked cookies, using food-grade colors.
You can rest assured that the recipients will be surprised when they receive
such cookies.<br />
<br />
<b>Photo Frames</b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
A picture frame containing the picture of the baby is another good idea of announcing
the birth of your newborn to your friends and relatives. The
recipients can keep them in their house or office. They will be reminded of the
special occasion every time they look at the picture. If you so want, you can
opt for photographs containing a picture of your entire family along with that
of the baby. If you want to send a limited quantity of frames and do not mind
spending more, you can opt for <a href="http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Cameras-Camcorders/Digital-Photo-Frames/abcat0408000.c?id=abcat0408000">digital
photo frames</a>. They provide you with the option of incorporating several
images, which can be displayed as a slide-show.<br />
<br />
<b>Personalized Fridge Magnets</b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
Fridge magnets are yet another option for your baby's birth announcements. They
are imprinted with the image of the baby and details like the date and time of
his/her birth. Since these magnets are available in various shapes and sizes,
you can be sure of finding one that meets your requirements and budget. You
only need to provide the organization manufacturing such magnets with a
digitized photo of your baby along with other particulars as mentioned above.<br />
<b><br />
Champagne Bottles/Food Jars</b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
Champagne bottles are another unique way of announcing the arrival of your
newborn to your loved ones. Contact an organization that specializes in
printing stickers and provide them with a photo of your baby along with the
date and time of his/her birth. Once you get the self-adhesive labels, affix
them carefully on the champagne bottle, and send them to your loved ones.
Alternatively, you can affix the label on colorful food jars as well. Each time
the recipient looks at them, they will be reminded about your baby.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Nothing beats the happiness of new parents whose excitement
cannot be concealed over the birth of their new baby. There are many ways to
make <a href="http://www.vermontteddybear.com/">birth announcements</a>. It
usually depends on the enthusiasm of the parents in showing off their new child
to the world, but if you're someone who wants to make announcing the birth of
your baby a big deal (and a special one) then here are some sure trusted ways
to get everyone swooning over your baby love.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><br />
1. Blog about it</b><br />
The topics you can read about on blogs are endless. It is not surprising that
baby blogs are also very popular. There are ways in which you can kickstart
your baby blog. Some people start theirs during pregnancy, the birth, and until
the baby has his or her first experiences. You can also start the blog by announcing
the birth of your baby and continue by making regular updates on your baby's progress.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<b>2. Post a status about it on social
media sites</b><br />
If you're reading this on the internet, then it is impossible that you do not
have at least one account on a social media site. Some of the most popular
networks are<a href="https://www.facebook.com/"> Facebook</a>, Twitter,
Instagram, Tumblr, Pinterest and many more. These sites do not only allow you
to post simple text, but they encourage you to embed videos, post photos, share
links and many more. With these exciting options alone, you are sure to not run
out of ideas on announcing the birth of your baby. Plus, most of your friends,
family, colleagues and all your other acquaintances are all on these sites. You
would be able to spread the word to more people. Moreover, if you have accounts
on the four biggest social media sites, you don't have to make the updates for
each. You can just link the accounts and have everything covered.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<b>3. Make creative paper announcements</b><br />
Some couples want to make it traditional. This method will make the announcement
special too. After all, weddings and other special occasions always have paper
invites. So, why not make the announcement on a nice paper with your baby's
picture on it along with some crafty and creative designs? Then, you can set
aside one copy, frame it and hang it on the wall of the baby's room in your
home.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><br />
4. Make phone calls and text messages</b><br />
There are other couples who are keen with their privacy and rather conservative
when it comes to their personal lives. Another traditional way of making the announcement
to close family and friends is by personally informing them about the birth of
your baby through SMS or through a phone call.<br />
The birth of the baby is the most precious memory that parents will keep for
the rest of their lives. It is only right that announcements are made to
welcome the child into the world with much love and anticipation. The
announcement is just the start. Pretty soon, there will be other major events
in the succeeding months from his or her birth that you need to announce, like baptisms
and other firsts.<o:p></o:p></div>
