Long before I had my baby, I never imagined I would be part of a mothers group. Anyhow, now that I am finally a mother, chatting to other parents about what is taking place in my life has benefited me immensely. We discuss how we deal with our children, what to do and not to do, we share baby food recipes, and we like to discuss the latest baby fashions we have picked up.

I more often than not meet with 4 other mothers, once a month, to find out the latest gossip. We often meet at ME Gusta Gourmet Tamales (which is in MISSION HILLS, CA) as that is pretty central for all of us. Last time was particularly eye opening because we talked about organic baby clothing. I have been feeding my baby girl organic meals from the beginning but I had not considered buying organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most broadly grown crops in the world and one of the most devastating to the environment and to farm workers. The run off from non-organic cotton farms has ruined the environment and especially water ways. Organic produce is grown without using artificial fertilisers and pesticides. Rather, organic farming depends on things like crop rotation, raising the quality of soils naturally, and using eco friendly pest control practices.

You can get beautiful organic baby outfits online from a number of shops. Sckoon has some of the cutest organic baby apparel.

Benefits of Organic Clothing

Purchasing organic products means you are buying products which have been produced in an eco-friendly manner, or at the very least in a way which causes less contamination of the environment. No or reduced use of insecticides and fertilizers means less pollution of our land and waterways, reduced cancers for farm employees, and fewer health risks for children by moderating their contact with potentially dangerous chemicals.

A number of makers of baby clothes also produce a range of organic clothing or you can find companies completely dedicated to organic baby fashion. Anyway, there are a lot of marks to choose from and all ages are catered for, from babies to adolescents. Naturally, organic clothing for men and women is also obtainable and I am looking into that for myself and my man.

I do not think 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 absolutely going try to whenever I can.
