Before I had my baby, I never really believed I would be part of a mothers group. Be that as it may, now that I have become a mum, being able to talk to other mothers about what is happening in my life has really helped me. We discuss how we bring up our children, what to do and not to do, we share meal plans, and we like to talk about the most recent baby fashions we have purchased.

I more often than not go out with 3 other parents, once a month, to catch up on the latest happenings. We often meet at Kentucky Fried Chicken of Tucson (which is in TUCSON, AZ) as that is fairly central for all of us. Last week was really exciting seeing we talked about organic baby clothes. I have been giving my baby boy 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 products in America and one of the most ruinous to the habitat and to farm workers. The run off from cotton farms has damaged the environment and particularly water bodies. Organic products are grown without the use of artificial fertilisers and insecticides. Rather, organic farming depends upon things like crop rotation, enhancing soils naturally, and using organic pest control methods.

You can purchase organic baby outfits online from a number of stores. Sckoon has some beautiful organic baby apparel.

Benefits of Organic Clothing

Getting organic products means you are getting products which have been produced in an environmentally friendly manner, or at a minimum in a way which causes less damage to our habitat. No or less use of insecticides and synthetic fertilisers means less pollution of our farms and waterways, fewer cancers for farm workers, and fewer health risks for our babies and children by moderating their contact with potentially dangerous chemicals.

Many retailers of baby clothes also make a range of organic items or you can find companies completely dedicated to organic baby clothing. Either way, there are a lot of brands to choose from and all ages are taken care of, from infants to older children. Obviously, organic fashion for men and women is also available 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 purchase organic cotton or bamboo clothes (which is a great alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my baby but I am absolutely going try to whenever I can.
