Long before I had my first child, I had not imagined I would belong to a mothers group. However, now that I have become a mother, chatting to other parents about what is going on in my life has really helped me. We discuss how we deal with our children, what to do and not to do, we share meal plans, and we love to discuss the latest baby fashions we have picked up.

I usually get together with 2 other parents, once a month, to find out the latest happenings. We usually meet at Tacos Uruapan (which is in CORVALLIS, OR) as that is fairly central for all of us. Last month was particularly exciting seeing we discussed baby clothes. I have been providing my baby boy organic produce from the start but it had never crossed my mind to buying organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most broadly grown plants in the world and one of the most ruinous to the environment and to farm workers. The run off from cotton farms has destroyed ecosystems and in particular water bodies. Organic products are grown without using artificial fertilisers and insecticides. Instead, organic farming depends on things like crop rotation, enhancing soils naturally, and using organic insect control practices.

You can get organic cotton baby outfits online from a number of shops. Sckoon has some gorgeous organic baby apparel.

Benefits of Choosing Organic Products

Buying organic clothes means you are purchasing products which have been produced in an eco friendly manner, or at least in a way which causes less contamination of our habitat. No or reduced use of herbicides and fertilizers means less pollution of our farms and waterways, reduced diseases for farm employees, and fewer health risks for our children by moderating their contact with potentially dangerous chemicals.

Several wholesalers of baby clothes also produce a range of organic items or you can find stores solely dedicated to organic baby fashion. Thankfully, there are a lot of designs to choose from and all ages are taken care of, from babies to adolescents. Obviously, organic fashion for men and women is also accessible and I am looking into that for myself and my man.

I am not saying that I am only ever going to get organic cotton or bamboo cotton clothing (which is an excellent alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my baby but I am absolutely going try to whenever possible.
