Before I had my first child, I had not believed I would be part of a mothers group. However, now that I have become a new mother, being able to talk to other women about what is taking place in my life has been a huge help. We chat about how we bring up our children, what to do and not to do, we share baby food recipes, and we love to chat about the newest baby clothes we have picked up.

I more often than not go out with 4 other parents, once a month, to catch up on the latest happenings. We generally meet at Old Dog New Trick Cafe (which is in NEW ORLEANS, LA) as that is quite central for all of us. Last time was really exciting seeing we discussed baby clothes. I have been feeding my baby boy organic produce from the start but I had never thought about purchasing organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most popular crops in the US and one of the most devastating to the habitat and to farmers. The run off from these farms has ruined ecosystems and especially water bodies. Organic produce is produced without the use of artificial fertilisers and chemicals. Alternatively, organic farming depends on things like crop rotation, raising the quality of soils naturally, and using organic pest control techniques.

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

Benefits of Organic Clothing

Getting organic produce means you are buying clothes which have been produced in an eco-friendly manner, or at a minimum in a way which causes less damage to soils and waterways. No or a reduction in the use of herbicides and fertilizers means less pollution of our land and waterways, less diseases for farmers, and fewer health risks for children by reducing their contact with toxic chemicals.

Quite a few producers of baby clothes also sell a range of organic clothes or you can find stores entirely committed to organic baby clothing. Either way, there are a lot of marks to choose from and all ages are provided for, from infants to teenagers. Obviously, organic fashion for men and women is also accessible and I am looking into that for myself and my man.

I would not go as far to say that I am just going to purchase organic cotton or bamboo clothing (which is a fantastic alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my child but I am absolutely going try to whenever I can.
