Organic Newborn Clothing

I am doing a marketing project for school. The assignment is to create a marketing campaign for a clothing line. I chose to do it on organic baby clothes, which I named Newborn Naturals. I need to think of a campaign theme, and slogan. Any ideas?

It's only natural....wrap your baby in our all natural materials, made with 100% natural love

For the most unique, sought-after baby gift, surprise new parents with this baby bunch bouquet created from super soft organic cotton baby clothes ...

I'm looking for great websites that have REALLY CUTE organic clothes for newborns

Hanna Andersson clothes are awesome. I, too, highly recommend them. They are sooo soft and cute. The walmart organic cotton clothes are, on the other hand, not very soft, and shrink up like crazy. Learned this the hard way. Here are a few more cool websites with cute clothes:

I was at a children's party with my nieces and nephews, their parents, my husband and a host of other children and their parents. This particular group of families are all politically independent and prefers to live outside of politics and legal stuff as much as possible. A pretty wholesome group of people.

Very natural, free-flowing people so it is not weird or interesting that this person ask me to take care of their baby boy for a few days. No, we did not know each other or anything. Generally, we exchange contact information and they give me the baby supplies.

My husband and I and our family took the baby home later realizing that the person who gave us the child did not give us a contact number or any supplies. My husband and I went to the store and bought diapers and allergy free formula for the baby plus other minor things to get us through a few days. He immediately became attached to us. We began to think how we would love to have a child of our own.

A few days past and we had to go back to the location of where the baby was given to us because my husband left something there. We saw the couple who gave us the baby. We greeted each other and they seemed very happy. They asked us if we would like to keep the baby and raise him as our own. They explained that they were in no position to raise him, they do not love him and he deserve to be with a family who would love him. They further expressed how they did not want to turn him over to the courts or sign away their parental rights and have him go in the system. They explained how they have been observing us (my husband and I) for a while and observed that we would be a wonderful set of parents for their child. They shared with us some things they did such as neglect him and felt really really guilty about it which is why they decided to look for someone else who would like a child.

That moment was very interesting for us. Both my husband and I agreed but then we asked if we needed to go through a social worker or the courts to have everything switched over. The baby was only 5 weeks old. The parents did not want that because they knew that the social worker would take the baby from both families and put him in a foster home. They feared that tremendously. They were really adamant about the baby staying with us. It was like an adoption without legal authorities being involved. Is there a name for that????

We set up a meeting at our home to have the parents sign papers and agreements that we came up with together. At that meeting the parents gave us everything that belonged to the baby including his birth certificate with OUR names on it, his medical records, his pediatrician, name change forms and a bunch of other papers, brand new breast pump, sooooooooooo many clothes from size 0-3 months up to toddler clothes all organic and mostly new. The only used clothes were the newborn clothes. So many shoes, hats, outdoor wear, crib, bassinet, swing, bouncy chair, 7 different carriers, 57 huge bags of diapers size ranging from newborn to pull-ups, about 100 containers of organic wipes, 12 diaper bags, a play pin, bedroom decorations, baby first aid kits, medications, 4 different strollers, 4 different carseats, and so many things that you need for a baby. They were set and my husband and I did not have to purchase anything.

I had my lawyer present and they had their lawyer present. Though we did not go through the court, we agreed to have our lawyers. I figured we would do this openly where their child will still know them and visit but they wanted to cut all strings. They signed away their rights of that child to my husband and I. They made it clear that if somehow the courts became involved, the whole agreement between us would mean that they gave us permission to babysit. They refuse to sign their child to the courts. They heard so much about the system and it would kill them if they did that to their child. They would rather take him back than to have him in the system.

Anyways, the mother requested that I breastfeed. I do not have any children so I was wondering if that is possible? If I start pumping and stimulating, how long will it take for the milk to come down?

The only concern we had was the cultural difference. We are African American and the baby is mixed hispanic and white. He will one day begin to see that he is a different color from my husband and I. We asked the parents what we should tell him. They said to tell him that he is a special baby.

Anyway, these are my questions:

1. We are are the type of family that prefers not to be involved with legals and courts and the system as well but never thought this would come up. I posted what happened and how we basically took on parenthood. Is that enough?

2. How long does it take for the milk to come down once I start pumping?

3. Should I change pediatricians or continue taking him to the same? By the way, his pe
Only intelligent answers will receive a good rating.
By the way, for the people who do not read in between the lines, Baby Showers is the perfect time to receive gifts. They have so much stuff because of baby showers.

It is possible to breastfeed your adopted child. I have seen information about it on the website for the Australian Breastfeeding Association. Contact them for more info perhaps.

But I must say that sounds like it is the least of your problems. You need to be speaking to your lawyer about making the adoption legal. What if the parents change their mind when the child is 5 and you have no legal rights. It may seem unlikely but would you be willing to risk it?

I am pregnant with my first baby, and trying to get all of the baby shower gifts put up... Do you have to use baby gentle detergent, or can you use like the organic fragrance free detergent? I am asking because the special baby detergent is so expensive!! I was just wondering.. Also, do all the stuffed animals need to be washed as well? Thanks!

STOP!!! DON'T WASH ANYTHING!!!

First-- you can use ANY mild fragrance and dye free detergent. They are all the same-- full of chemicals-- with different marketing strategies. Dreft, Tide Free and Clear, All Free and Clear, etc are all pretty much the same thing. If you use a lower chemical product like Mrs. Meyers or Seventh Generation then you will reduce the chemicals. All will have roughly the same result. If your baby turns out to be sensitive to one of these, then make the change. Yes-- Dreft is outrageously priced.

Next, DO NOT WASH EVERYTHING!!! One of the main nesting behaviors for new moms is to un-tag, wash and put away everything you have received. Resist. Just do a few things. After the baby comes you will find yourself doing a lot of laundry for many reasons-- like the fact that you will have a limited wardrobe that fits and that you are attached to one special baby blanket and outfit. So there will be time to do laundry later. Most moms find that they have more clothing than their baby will ever wear-- things are out of season and are outgrown before being worn, things are not as easy to dress baby in, things are not the style you like, etc. All of these things can be returned or consigned if unused. Unused and still tagged clothes fetch a higher price/exchange at the consignment stores. Obviously the returned items need to still be tagged as well. You can also keep things and re-gift them.

You do not need to wash stuffed animals before your baby gets them In fact, your baby won't put one in their mouth until they are about 4-5 months old. Also, if you wash it in detergent, you are just covering one set of chemicals with another, so it's kind of a moot point. Again-- stuffed animals in good shape are more easily consigned.

A lot of baby clothes are polyester and I've head that organic cottons are the best for babies, are they?

both my children have dermatitis and there has never been a problem with regular clothes- why spend all that money for ORGANIC items when they are no different then the other clothes you would buy...you just have to make sure that when you buy the clothes you wash them- you might want to get DREFT since it is detergent specifically for babies.
