Before I had my first child, I never thought I would be part of a mothers group. Anyhow, now that I am finally a new mother, talking to other parents about what is taking place in my life has benefited me immensely. We talk about how we deal with our children, what to do and not to do, we share baby food recipes, and we like to chat about the latest baby fashions we have picked up.

I generally go out with 4 other mothers, once a week, to find out the latest happenings. We usually meet at In Ca-Hoots Grill (which is in BASTROP, TX) as that is pretty central for all of us. Last week was really interesting as we talked about baby clothes. I have been providing my baby girl organic food from the start but I had never thought about getting organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most broadly grown products in the world and one of the most harmful to the environment and to farmers. The run off from cotton farms has ruined the environment and especially water ways. Organic produce is produced without the need for artificial fertilisers and pesticides. Alternatively, organic farming depends upon things like crop rotation, raising the quality of soils naturally, and using eco friendly pest control practices.

You can buy organic cotton baby apparel online from a number of shops. Sckoon has some of the cutest organic baby clothing.

Benefits of Organic Baby Clothing

Buying organic clothes means you are getting produce which have been produced in an eco-friendly manner, or at the very least in a way which causes less pollution of our habitat. No or reduced use of pesticides and fertilizers means less pollution of our farms and lakes, fewer health problems for farm employees, and fewer health risks for children by lessening their contact with dangerous chemicals.

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

I do not think that I am only going to get organic cotton or bamboo clothes (which is an excellent alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my children but I am definitely going try to whenever I can.
