Back before I had my children, I never really believed I would be part of a mothers group. However, now that I am a new mother, talking to other parents about what is going on in my life has been a huge help. We discuss how we bring up our children, what to do and not to do, we share meal plans, and we enjoy being able to discuss the latest baby fashions we have purchased.

I usually go out with 4 other parents, once a fortnight, to find out the latest happenings. We often meet at Riccobonos Peppermill (which is in METAIRIE, LA) as that is pretty central for all of us. Last time was more exciting because we chatted about organic baby clothes. I have been providing my baby boy organic meals from the beginning but I had never thought about purchasing organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most widely grown plants in the US and one of the most harmful to the ecosystem and to farm employees. The run off from non-organic cotton farms has ruined the environment and in particular water supplies. Organic produce is produced without using artificial fertilisers and pesticides. Rather, organic farming depends upon things like crop rotation, raising the quality of soils naturally, and using eco friendly pest control practices.

You can get soft organic cotton baby clothes online from a number of stores. Sckoon has some beautiful organic baby clothing.

Benefits of Organic Baby Clothing

Buying organic products means you are getting clothes which have been produced in an environmentally friendly manner, or at least in a way which causes less contamination of our habitat. No or reduced use of pesticides and fertilizers means less pollution of our farms and waterways, fewer diseases for farm workers, and fewer health risks for children by lessening their contact with toxic chemicals.

A number of makers of baby clothes also produce a range of organic clothing or you can find shops entirely devoted to organic baby fashion. Either way, there are a lot of designs to choose from and all ages are provided for, from toddlers to adolescents. Of course, organic fashion for men and women is also accessible and I am looking into that for myself and my partner.

I do not think that I am just going to buy organic cotton or bamboo clothing (which is a fantastic alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my children but I am absolutely going try to whenever possible.
