As much as one can, I try to go organic. With prices up and work down, that’s not always possible, but sometimes you see something so cute, it’s hard to pass up.

These Baberoo Organic Cotton Socks are delightfully sweet and perfect for a newborn’s sensitive skin. My experience with children has been one of sensitive skin. While others dressed their babies in hand-me-downs or frilly new clothes, mine developed rashes at the drop of a hat: rashes from diapers that were changed on the hour, rashes from sun hats that touched the ears; rashes from just about anything that wasn’t organic.

So socks made from organic cotton with grown without herbicides, pesticides and synthetic fertilizers make me smile.

Though I’m not a big fan of shoes for infants, they aren’t walking anywhere and the more the foot is free, the better it is for them…so I’ve been told, I am a fan of socks. Socks keep tiny feet warm, but don’t constrict and are great of for the quick walk outside when you’d rather not have bare feet.

These Baberoo socks come in a box of four pairs, which is also handy since infants have this bad habit of dispensing with just one sock while out and about. Though I’m a big believer in mix and match, it’s nice to stay in the same family at least!
