Long before I had my first child, I had not believed I would join a mothers group. However, now that I have become a mother, chatting to other parents about what is taking place in my life has been a huge help. We discuss how we raise our children, what to do and not to do, we share baby food recipes, and we love to discuss the newest baby outfits we have purchased.

I more often than not go out with 4 other parents, once a week, to hear about the latest new. We usually meet at Grand Cypress Resort (which is in KISSIMMEE, FL) as that is pretty central for all of us. Last month was particularly interesting because we discussed organic baby clothing. I have been giving my baby organic produce from the start 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 devastating to the ecosystem and to farm workers. The run off from cotton farms has destroyed habitats and particularly water ways. Organic cotton is grown without the use of artificial fertilisers and insecticides. Instead, organic farming relies on things like crop rotation, raising the quality of soils naturally, and using organic pest control methods.

You can get beautiful organic baby clothing online from a number of stores. Sckoon is my favourite for organic baby clothes.

Benefits of Choosing Organic Products

Buying organic clothes means you are buying clothes which have been produced in an eco-friendly manner, or at least in a way which causes less contamination of soils and waterways. No or a reduction in the use of pesticides and fertilizers means less pollution of our land and rivers, fewer cancers for farmers, and fewer health risks for children by reducing their contact with dangerous chemicals.

Several makers of baby clothes also sell a range of organic items or you can find shops entirely committed to organic baby fashion. Thankfully, there are a lot of marks to choose from and all ages are provided for, from toddlers to older children. Naturally, organic clothes for men and women is also available and I am looking into that for myself and my partner.

I would not go as far to say that I am only ever going to get organic cotton or bamboo clothes (which is a good alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my child but I am without a doubt going try to whenever I can.
