Long before I had my baby, I never believed I would be part of a mothers group. Be that as it may, now that I am a mother, talking to other mothers about what is happening 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 love to chat about the newest baby outfits we have bought.

I more often than not go out with 4 other parents, once a fortnight, to find out the latest happenings. We generally meet at Dusseldorf Pub (which is in GATLINBURG, TN) as that is fairly central for all of us. Last month was particularly exciting as we chatted about organic baby clothing. I have been providing my baby organic produce from the start but it had never crossed my mind to buying organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most broadly grown crops in the world and one of the most harmful to the habitat and to farm employees. The run off from these farms has damaged ecosystems and especially water supplies. Organic cotton is produced without the need for artificial fertilisers and pesticides. Instead, organic farming depends on things like crop rotation, improving soils naturally, and using organic insect control practices.

You can buy organic cotton baby outfits online from a number of stores. Sckoon is my favourite for organic baby apparel.

Benefits of Choosing Organic Products

Purchasing organic products means you are getting produce which have been produced in an environmentally friendly manner, or at the very least in a way which causes less pollution of soils and waterways. No or less use of pesticides and fertilizers means less pollution of our soils and lakes, reduced cancers for farmers, and fewer health risks for children by reducing their contact with dangerous chemicals.

Quite a few producers of baby clothes also sell a range of organic items or you can find retailers completely dedicated to organic baby clothing. Thankfully, there are a lot of brands to choose from and all ages are provided for, from infants to older children. Of course, organic clothing for men and women is also available and I am looking into that for myself and my partner.

I am not saying that I am only ever going to buy organic cotton or bamboo cotton clothing (which is a great alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my baby but I am absolutely going try to whenever possible.
