Before I had my first child, I had not believed I would be part of a mothers group. Be that as it may, now that I have become a mother, talking to other mothers about what is going on in my life has been a huge help. We talk about how we deal with our children, what to do and not to do, we share meal plans, and we love to chat about the latest baby clothes we have bought.

I generally get together with 2 other mothers, once a week, to catch up on the latest new. We often meet at Pancake Mill Restaurant (which is in NORTH BEND, OR) as that is pretty central for all of us. Last week was more exciting because we chatted about organic baby clothes. I have been providing my baby boy organic food from the start but it had never crossed my mind to getting organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most popular products in the world and one of the most ruinous to the ecosystem and to farmers. The run off from cotton farms has ruined ecosystems and in particular water supplies. Organic produce is grown without using artificial fertilisers and insecticides. Instead, organic farming relies on things like crop rotation, improving soils naturally, and using organic insect control practices.

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

Benefits of Organic Clothing

Getting organic clothing means you are getting produce which have been produced in an eco friendly manner, or at a minimum in a way which causes less pollution of our habitat. No or reduced use of insecticides and fertilizers means less pollution of our soils and rivers, less cancers for farm workers, and fewer health risks for our children by moderating their contact with dangerous chemicals.

A number of wholesalers of baby clothes also sell a range of organic clothing or you can find shops solely dedicated to organic baby clothes. Anyway, there are a lot of designs to choose from and all ages are taken care of, from toddlers to teenagers. Obviously, organic clothes for men and women is also available and I am looking into that for myself and my partner.

I am not saying 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 children but I am most definitely going try to whenever I can.
