Long before I had my baby, I never imagined I would be part of a mothers group. Be that as it may, now that I have become a mum, being able to talk to other women about what is taking place in my life has been a huge help. We talk about how we raise our children, what to do and not to do, we share baby food recipes, and we enjoy being able to chat about the most recent baby clothes we have purchased.

I usually meet with 3 other parents, once a fortnight, to hear about the latest gossip. We often meet at Helen JRS Pizza & Subs (which is in FREEPORT, TX) as that is quite central for all of us. Last time was really eye opening seeing we discussed organic baby clothing. I have been providing my baby organic produce from the beginning but I had not considered buying organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most widely grown crops in America and one of the most devastating to the environment and to farmers. The run off from non-organic cotton farms has ruined ecosystems and especially water ways. Organic produce is made without the need for artificial fertilisers and chemicals. Instead, organic farming depends on things like crop rotation, raising the quality of soils naturally, and using organic pest control practices.

You can purchase organic cotton baby outfits online from a number of stores. Sckoon has some of the cutest organic baby apparel.

Benefits of Organic Clothing

Buying organic produce means you are purchasing produce which have been produced in an eco-friendly manner, or at the very least in a way which causes less pollution of soils and waterways. No or reduced use of pesticides and fertilisers means less pollution of our land and lakes, reduced cancers for farmers, and fewer health risks for our babies and children by lessening their contact with dangerous chemicals.

Several retailers of baby clothes also sell a range of organic clothing or you can find designers entirely devoted to organic baby fashion. Thankfully, there are a lot of brands to choose from and all ages are catered for, from toddlers to adolescents. Of course, organic clothes for men and women is also available and I am looking into that for myself and my man.

I would not go as far to say that I am just going to buy organic cotton or bamboo cotton clothing (which is a great alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my baby but I am without a doubt going try to whenever it is available.
