Before I had my children, I never imagined I would belong to a mothers group. Anyhow, now that I am finally a new mother, talking to other parents about what is happening in my life has benefited me immensely. We chat about how we deal with our children, what to do and not to do, we share recipes, and we enjoy being able to chat about the most recent baby outfits we have purchased.

I generally get together with 2 other mothers, once a fortnight, to hear about the latest gossip. We usually meet at Cubita Cuban Sandwiches & Grill (which is in ORLANDO, FL) as that is pretty central for all of us. Last time was more interesting as we discussed organic baby clothing. I have been giving my baby girl organic meals from day one but I had never thought about getting organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most broadly grown products in the US and one of the most harmful to the ecosystem and to farmers. The run off from these farms has destroyed ecosystems and particularly water supplies. Organic produce is produced without using artificial fertilisers and insecticides. Alternatively, organic farming depends upon things like crop rotation, improving soils naturally, and using organic insect control practices.

You can purchase soft organic cotton baby outfits online from a number of shops. Sckoon is my favourite for organic baby apparel.

Benefits of Organic Baby Clothing

Purchasing organic clothing means you are getting products which have been produced in an eco friendly manner, or at least in a way which causes less contamination of soils and waterways. No or a reduction in the use of herbicides and fertilisers means less pollution of our land and rivers, reduced diseases for farm employees, and fewer health risks for children by lessening their contact with potentially dangerous chemicals.

A number of makers of baby clothes also sell a range of organic clothing or you can find wholesalers solely dedicated to organic baby clothes. Thankfully, there are a lot of designs to choose from and all ages are catered for, from toddlers to teenagers. Naturally, organic clothing for men and women is also accessible and I am looking into that for myself and my man.

I do not think that I am only ever going to get organic cotton or bamboo clothes (which is a great alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my baby but I am absolutely going try to whenever I can.
