Back before I had my baby, I never believed I would belong to a mothers group. However, now that I am finally a new mother, chatting to other mothers about what is taking place in my life has benefited me immensely. We talk about how we bring up our children, what to do and not to do, we share recipes, and we enjoy being able to discuss the latest baby outfits we have picked up.

I usually go out with 4 other parents, once a month, to hear about the latest new. We generally meet at Golden Burger (which is in LONG BEACH, CA) as that is fairly central for all of us. Last week was more exciting because we talked about baby clothes. I have been providing my baby organic meals from the beginning but I had never thought about getting organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most widely grown crops in the US and one of the most harmful to the habitat and to farm employees. The run off from cotton farms has ruined ecosystems and especially water ways. Organic products are produced without the need for artificial fertilisers and chemicals. Rather, organic farming depends upon things like crop rotation, enhancing soils naturally, and using eco friendly pest control practices.

You can buy soft organic cotton baby outfits online from a number of retailers. Sckoon has some of the cutest organic baby clothes.

Benefits of Organic Baby Clothing

Buying organic products means you are getting clothes which have been produced in an eco-friendly manner, or at a minimum in a way which causes less contamination of the environment. No or less use of herbicides and synthetic fertilisers means less pollution of our farms and waterways, fewer diseases for farmers, and fewer health risks for our children by reducing their contact with dangerous chemicals.

Quite a few makers of baby clothes also produce a range of organic clothes or you can find retailers solely devoted to organic baby clothes. Thankfully, there are a lot of designs to choose from and all ages are taken care of, from babies to adolescents. Of course, organic clothes for men and women is also obtainable and I am looking into that for myself and my husband.

I would not go as far to say that I am only ever going to purchase organic cotton or bamboo clothes (which is a great alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my baby but I am without a doubt going try to whenever it is available.
