Long before I had my baby, I never really thought I would be part of a mothers group. However, now that I am finally a mum, talking to other mothers about what is going on in my life has benefited me immensely. We chat about how we raise our children, what to do and not to do, we share meal plans, and we enjoy being able to chat about the most recent baby clothes we have picked up.

I generally go out with 4 other mothers, once a week, to hear about the latest happenings. We often meet at Gabes Cajun Food Restaurant (which is in RAYNE, LA) as that is pretty central for all of us. Last time was particularly exciting seeing we talked about baby clothes. I have been giving my baby boy organic produce from day one but it had never crossed my mind to buying organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most popular plants in the US and one of the most ruinous to the habitat and to farm employees. The run off from non-organic cotton farms has damaged the environment and especially water bodies. Organic cotton is grown without using artificial fertilisers and insecticides. Rather, organic farming depends on things like crop rotation, improving soils naturally, and using organic insect control practices.

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

Benefits of Organic Clothing

Getting organic clothes means you are getting products which have been produced in an eco-friendly manner, or at the very least in a way which causes less damage to the environment. No or a reduction in the use of insecticides and fertilisers means less pollution of our land and waterways, less health problems for farmers, and fewer health risks for our babies and children by reducing their contact with dangerous chemicals.

Several makers of baby clothes also sell a range of organic clothing or you can find companies entirely devoted to organic baby clothing. Thankfully, there are a lot of marks to choose from and all ages are provided for, from babies to adolescents. Naturally, organic clothing for men and women is also obtainable and I am looking into that for myself and my partner.

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