Back before I had my children, I never believed I would belong to a mothers group. Be that as it may, now that I am a new mother, chatting to other women about what is happening in my life has benefited me immensely. We discuss how we raise our children, what to do and not to do, we share meal plans, and we love to chat about the newest baby clothes we have picked up.

I usually get together with 2 other women, once a week, to find out the latest new. We often meet at Brians Bar-B-Q (which is in CLUTE, TX) as that is fairly central for all of us. Last month was more eye opening as we talked about organic baby clothing. I have been giving my baby organic food from day one but I had not considered buying organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most widely grown crops in the US and one of the most devastating to the ecosystem and to farm employees. The run off from these farms has damaged ecosystems and particularly water supplies. Organic cotton is produced without the use of artificial fertilisers and chemicals. Alternatively, organic farming relies on things like crop rotation, enhancing soils naturally, and using eco friendly pest control practices.

You can purchase organic cotton baby clothes online from a number of stores. Sckoon has some gorgeous organic baby clothing.

Benefits of Organic Baby Clothing

Purchasing organic products means you are buying produce which have been produced in an environmentally friendly manner, or at the very least in a way which causes less damage to soils and waterways. No or a reduction in the use of pesticides and synthetic fertilisers means less pollution of our farms and lakes, less cancers for farmers, and fewer health risks for children by lessening their contact with potentially dangerous chemicals.

Several producers of baby clothes also sell a range of organic clothing or you can find companies entirely devoted to organic baby fashion. Anyway, there are a lot of marks to choose from and all ages are taken care of, from infants to older children. Obviously, organic fashion 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 clothing (which is an amazing alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my baby but I am without a doubt going try to whenever possible.
