Long before I had my first child, I had not thought I would be part of a mothers group. Anyhow, now that I have become a new mother, chatting to other parents about what is taking place in my life has really helped me. We discuss how we bring up our children, what to do and not to do, we share baby food recipes, and we enjoy being able to discuss the most recent baby outfits we have picked up.

I generally get together with 3 other women, once a week, to find out the latest new. We generally meet at Jenny's Kitchen & Custards (which is in BARNHART, MO) as that is pretty central for all of us. Last week was particularly interesting as we chatted about organic baby clothes. I have been providing my baby girl organic produce from the beginning but it had never crossed my mind to buying organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most popular crops in America and one of the most devastating to the habitat and to farm employees. The run off from these farms has destroyed ecosystems and particularly water bodies. Organic cotton is made without the use of artificial fertilisers and chemicals. Rather, organic farming relies on things like crop rotation, improving soils naturally, and using eco friendly pest control methods.

You can purchase beautiful organic baby apparel online from a number of shops. Sckoon has some gorgeous organic baby clothes.

Benefits of Organic Clothing

Purchasing organic produce means you are getting produce which have been produced in an environmentally friendly manner, or at a minimum in a way which causes less damage to the environment. No or less use of insecticides and fertilisers means less pollution of our farms and lakes, reduced diseases for farmers, and fewer health risks for our babies and children by reducing their contact with dangerous chemicals.

A number of makers of baby clothes also make a range of organic clothes or you can find shops solely dedicated to organic baby fashion. Thankfully, there are a lot of marks to choose from and all ages are provided for, from babies to adolescents. Of course, organic fashion for men and women is also obtainable 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 buy organic cotton or bamboo clothing (which is a good alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my baby but I am most definitely going try to whenever it is available.
