Long before I had my baby, I never really believed I would belong to a mothers group. However, now that I have become a mum, being able to talk to other women about what is happening in my life has really helped me. We chat about how we deal with our children, what to do and not to do, we share baby food recipes, and we like to discuss the newest baby outfits we have bought.

I usually get together with 4 other parents, once a week, to catch up on the latest gossip. We usually meet at Rivertown Courtyard Cafe (which is in KENNER, LA) as that is pretty central for all of us. Last month was really interesting seeing we talked about organic baby clothes. I have been giving my baby organic meals from the beginning but I had not considered getting organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most broadly grown crops in America and one of the most harmful to the habitat and to farm employees. The run off from these farms has destroyed the environment and especially water ways. Organic cotton is made without the need for artificial fertilisers and chemicals. Rather, organic farming relies on things like crop rotation, raising the quality of soils naturally, and using organic pest control practices.

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

Benefits of Organic Baby Clothing

Buying organic clothes means you are getting products which have been produced in an eco friendly manner, or at a minimum in a way which causes less pollution of our habitat. No or reduced use of herbicides and fertilizers means less pollution of our land and waterways, less cancers for farm workers, and fewer health risks for our children by moderating their contact with potentially dangerous chemicals.

Several retailers of baby clothes also sell a range of organic items or you can find designers solely dedicated to organic baby clothing. Either way, there are a lot of brands to choose from and all ages are catered for, from babies to adolescents. Naturally, organic clothes for men and women is also accessible and I am looking into that for myself and my man.

I would not go as far to say that I am just going to purchase organic cotton or bamboo clothes (which is an amazing alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my children but I am absolutely going try to whenever it is available.
