Back before I had my baby, I had not believed I would be part of a mothers group. Anyhow, now that I am a mother, chatting to other women about what is taking place 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 like to talk about the newest baby clothes we have bought.

I generally go out with 3 other women, once a month, to hear about the latest new. We usually meet at City Thai Restaurant (which is in KIRKLAND, WA) as that is pretty central for all of us. Last time was more interesting seeing we chatted about organic baby clothes. I have been feeding my baby boy organic food from day one but I had never thought about purchasing organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most popular plants in the US and one of the most devastating to the environment and to farm employees. The run off from cotton farms has ruined ecosystems and especially water supplies. Organic cotton is produced without using artificial fertilisers and insecticides. Alternatively, organic farming depends upon things like crop rotation, raising the quality of soils naturally, and using eco friendly pest control practices.

You can get organic baby clothes online from a number of shops. Sckoon has some of the cutest organic baby apparel.

Benefits of Organic Clothing

Buying organic products means you are buying clothes which have been produced in an environmentally friendly manner, or at the very least in a way which causes less pollution of soils and waterways. No or less use of herbicides and fertilizers means less pollution of our farms and waterways, fewer diseases for farmers, and fewer health risks for our babies and children by reducing their contact with toxic chemicals.

A number of wholesalers of baby clothes also sell a range of organic clothing or you can find companies entirely devoted to organic baby fashion. Thankfully, there are a lot of designs to choose from and all ages are provided for, from toddlers to adolescents. Obviously, organic clothes for men and women is also obtainable and I am looking into that for myself and my husband.

I do not think that I am just going to purchase organic cotton or bamboo clothes (which is an amazing alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my baby but I am most definitely going try to whenever I can.
