Long before I had my children, I had not believed I would join a mothers group. However, now that I am a new mother, chatting to other women about what is going on in my life has been a huge help. We discuss how we deal with our children, what to do and not to do, we share recipes, and we enjoy being able to talk about the newest baby clothes we have bought.

I usually meet with 4 other mothers, once a month, to catch up on the latest new. We often meet at CHOO Choo's Bar-B-Q (which is in KERRVILLE, TX) as that is fairly central for all of us. Last time was more interesting as we talked about organic baby clothing. I have been giving my baby boy organic food from day one but I had not considered getting organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most broadly grown crops in America and one of the most harmful to the environment and to farm workers. The run off from cotton farms has ruined ecosystems and especially water bodies. Organic products are made without the use of artificial fertilisers and pesticides. Rather, organic farming depends on things like crop rotation, enhancing soils naturally, and using organic pest control techniques.

You can purchase beautiful organic baby outfits online from a number of retailers. Sckoon is my favourite for organic baby clothing.

Benefits of Organic Baby Clothing

Buying organic produce means you are getting products which have been produced in an eco-friendly manner, or at least in a way which causes less damage to the environment. No or less use of insecticides and synthetic fertilisers means less pollution of our land and lakes, less health problems for farm workers, and fewer health risks for children by reducing their contact with potentially dangerous chemicals.

Quite a few retailers of baby clothes also produce a range of organic clothes or you can find retailers completely dedicated to organic baby fashion. Anyway, there are a lot of brands to choose from and all ages are catered for, from babies to adolescents. Obviously, organic fashion 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 only going to get organic cotton or bamboo cotton clothing (which is a fantastic alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my baby but I am absolutely going try to whenever I can.
