Back before I had my first child, I had not imagined I would be part of a mothers group. Be that as it may, now that I am finally a mum, being able to talk to other parents about what is happening in my life has been a huge help. We talk about how we bring up our children, what to do and not to do, we share recipes, and we enjoy being able to talk about the most recent baby clothes we have bought.

I generally get together with 4 other women, once a week, to find out the latest gossip. We often meet at PHO BAC 1 (which is in HONOLULU, HI) as that is pretty central for all of us. Last time was more exciting because we talked about organic baby clothes. I have been giving my baby girl organic produce from the beginning but it had never crossed my mind to buying organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most widely grown plants in America and one of the most harmful to the ecosystem and to farm employees. The run off from non-organic cotton farms has damaged the environment and particularly water ways. Organic products are produced without using artificial fertilisers and pesticides. Rather, organic farming depends upon things like crop rotation, improving soils naturally, and using organic insect control methods.

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

Benefits of Organic Baby Clothing

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

Many producers of baby clothes also produce a range of organic clothing or you can find companies entirely dedicated to organic baby clothes. Thankfully, there are a lot of designs to choose from and all ages are taken care of, from babies to older children. Naturally, organic clothing for men and women is also obtainable and I am looking into that for myself and my husband.

I would not go as far to say that I am only going to buy organic cotton or bamboo clothes (which is a fantastic alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my baby but I am without a doubt going try to whenever possible.
