Long before I had my baby, I never thought I would be part of a mothers group. However, now that I am finally a mum, talking to other women about what is taking place in my life has really helped me. We talk about how we raise our children, what to do and not to do, we share recipes, and we like to talk about the most recent baby clothes we have purchased.

I usually get together with 2 other mothers, once a month, to find out the latest happenings. We usually meet at Buffalo Grille (which is in HOUSTON, TX) as that is quite central for all of us. Last month was really eye opening as we discussed organic baby clothes. I have been feeding my baby boy organic food from the beginning but it had never crossed my mind to purchasing organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most popular crops in the world and one of the most devastating to the environment and to farm workers. The run off from these farms has damaged the environment and in particular water supplies. Organic products are grown without the need for artificial fertilisers and chemicals. Alternatively, organic farming depends on things like crop rotation, enhancing soils naturally, and using eco friendly pest control techniques.

You can get beautiful organic baby clothes online from a number of stores. Sckoon has some gorgeous organic baby clothes.

Benefits of Organic Baby Clothing

Purchasing organic clothes means you are purchasing products which have been produced in an eco-friendly manner, or at the very least in a way which causes less damage to the environment. No or less use of pesticides and fertilisers means less pollution of our soils and waterways, fewer diseases for farm workers, and fewer health risks for our babies and children by lessening their contact with toxic chemicals.

Many makers of baby clothes also make a range of organic clothing or you can find shops solely dedicated to organic baby clothes. Thankfully, there are a lot of designs to choose from and all ages are catered for, from babies to adolescents. Obviously, organic clothing 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 only going to buy organic cotton or bamboo clothing (which is an amazing alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my baby but I am most definitely going try to whenever it is available.
