Before I had my children, I never thought I would join a mothers group. However, now that I am a mother, talking to other parents about what is happening in my life has benefited me immensely. We discuss how we raise our children, what to do and not to do, we share baby food recipes, and we enjoy being able to talk about the most recent baby fashions we have bought.

I more often than not get together with 2 other women, once a week, to hear about the latest happenings. We often meet at TIO Ricardos Mexican Restaurant & Cantina (which is in TOMBALL, TX) as that is fairly central for all of us. Last week was really interesting seeing we discussed baby clothes. I have been giving my baby boy organic meals from the start but I had never thought about getting organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most widely grown plants in the world and one of the most harmful to the environment and to farmers. The run off from cotton farms has damaged ecosystems and particularly water bodies. Organic cotton is grown without the use of artificial fertilisers and insecticides. Instead, organic farming depends on things like crop rotation, improving soils naturally, and using eco friendly pest control practices.

You can buy organic cotton baby outfits online from a number of stores. Sckoon has some beautiful organic baby clothes.

Benefits of Organic Baby Clothing

Buying organic products means you are purchasing clothes which have been produced in an eco friendly manner, or at the very least in a way which causes less contamination of the environment. No or a reduction in the use of pesticides and synthetic fertilisers means less pollution of our soils and lakes, less cancers for farm workers, and fewer health risks for our babies and children by lessening their contact with toxic chemicals.

A number of retailers of baby clothes also sell a range of organic clothes or you can find shops entirely devoted to organic baby clothing. Anyway, there are a lot of brands to choose from and all ages are provided for, from babies to older children. Naturally, organic fashion for men and women is also accessible and I am looking into that for myself and my man.

I am not saying that I am only ever going to purchase organic cotton or bamboo clothing (which is an excellent alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my children but I am most definitely going try to whenever possible.
