Back before I had my baby, I had not thought I would belong to a mothers group. However, now that I am finally a mum, talking to other women about what is going on in my life has really helped me. We discuss 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 newest baby outfits we have purchased.

I usually get together with 3 other mothers, once a week, to hear about the latest gossip. We usually meet at Brother's Pizza (which is in DALLAS, TX) as that is fairly central for all of us. Last time was particularly interesting because we talked about organic baby clothes. I have been giving my baby boy organic produce from day one but it had never crossed my mind to getting organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most popular products in the US and one of the most harmful to the ecosystem and to farmers. The run off from non-organic cotton farms has ruined ecosystems and in particular water ways. Organic products are made without using artificial fertilisers and chemicals. Instead, organic farming depends on things like crop rotation, enhancing soils naturally, and using organic pest control methods.

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

Benefits of Organic Clothing

Getting organic produce means you are buying produce which have been produced in an eco-friendly manner, or at least in a way which causes less damage to our habitat. No or reduced use of pesticides and fertilisers means less pollution of our land and rivers, fewer health problems for farm workers, and fewer health risks for children by moderating their contact with dangerous chemicals.

Many retailers of baby clothes also sell a range of organic items or you can find shops entirely devoted to organic baby clothes. Either way, there are a lot of designs to choose from and all ages are catered for, from toddlers to adolescents. Of course, organic clothing for men and women is also obtainable and I am looking into that for myself and my husband.

I do not think that I am only going to get organic cotton or bamboo clothing (which is an amazing alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my child but I am absolutely going try to whenever possible.
