Your Baby Doesn't Care About Organic Cotton

There is a massive push to guilt parents into buying 100% organic, ethically sourced bamboo-viscose onesies that cost $35 apiece. Unless your child has a diagnosed severe skin condition, this is an absolute waste of your budget.

The Lifespan of a Bodysuit

A newborn will wear a specific size of clothing for maybe four weeks. During those four weeks, that piece of clothing will be subjected to explosive blowouts, vivid yellow spit-up, and spilled milk. It will be stained, washed on high heat, and eventually ruined.

The Volume Problem

You will change your baby's outfit three times a day. If you are buying $35 organic sleep-and-plays, you will either go bankrupt outfitting them, or you will spend half your life doing laundry because you only bought five outfits.

The Fix

Buy cheap, soft cotton multipacks. Buy them used if you can. When an outfit gets obliterated at 3 AM by a diaper failure, you want the peace of mind to just throw it directly into the trash can without mourning the $35 you spent on it.
