You are already in the right place ‘frustrated’. Babynation carries a preemie range of baby clothes from 1lb up and is actually the primary reason that babynation came to be. Our son was also premature and we struggled finding clothing for him. You might also be interested to know that 1% of all out profit from the sale of our premature range is being donated to the NeoNatal Ward at Cork Maternity Hospital.

Hi Sue, that's a valid question and one that I'm sure most people want to ask. The main difference between organic and non-organic fabric is that the methods and materials used to grow Organic cotton have a low impact on the environment. Many of the chemicals used in regular farming are carcinogens that damage the nervous system. While a minute amount of the chemicals reach actual targeted pest, the remainder get absorbed into our air, water and soil. But even if you are not ‘environmentally’ proactive, organic clothing has many selling points! Some of these are: • less likely to provoke allergies within babies and children who would normally react to the chemicals used in pesticides. That means that organic cotton baby clothes are really kind to eczema.” • it feels softer and thicker, because the cotton fibres are left intact and are not broken down by chemicals • it smells different…..cleaner as it is left in it’s raw state • it is thicker and more durable.
