Long before I had my baby, I never really imagined I would belong to a mothers group. Be that as it may, 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 raise our children, what to do and not to do, we share meal plans, and we enjoy being able to talk about the latest baby fashions we have purchased.

I generally get together with 3 other mothers, once a month, to catch up on the latest new. We usually meet at Boston Pizza Restaurants (Usa) Inc (which is in DALLAS, TX) as that is quite central for all of us. Last time was more eye opening seeing we talked about organic baby clothing. I have been feeding my baby boy organic meals from the start but I had never thought about purchasing organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most widely grown products in the world and one of the most devastating to the environment and to farm workers. The run off from cotton farms has destroyed ecosystems and in particular water supplies. Organic products are grown without the use of artificial fertilisers and pesticides. Alternatively, organic farming relies on things like crop rotation, enhancing soils naturally, and using eco friendly pest control techniques.

You can buy soft organic cotton baby outfits online from a number of shops. Sckoon has some beautiful organic baby clothes.

Benefits of Organic Baby Clothing

Buying organic products means you are purchasing clothes which have been produced in an environmentally friendly manner, or at the very least in a way which causes less damage to the environment. No or less use of herbicides and fertilizers means less pollution of our farms and lakes, reduced health problems for farm employees, and fewer health risks for our children by moderating their contact with potentially dangerous chemicals.

A number of makers of baby clothes also sell a range of organic items or you can find shops completely dedicated to organic baby fashion. Thankfully, there are a lot of marks to choose from and all ages are taken care of, from toddlers to teenagers. Of course, organic clothes for men and women is also obtainable and I am looking into that for myself and my husband.

I am not saying that I am just going to purchase organic cotton or bamboo clothing (which is a great alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my child but I am most definitely going try to whenever I can.
