Before I had my first child, I never really believed I would be part of a mothers group. However, now that I am finally a mum, being able to talk to other parents about what is happening 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 enjoy being able to discuss the newest baby outfits we have bought.

I usually get together with 2 other parents, once a month, to catch up on the latest new. We often meet at Ethnic Deli & Cafe (which is in NATIONAL CITY, CA) as that is pretty central for all of us. Last month was more exciting because we chatted about organic baby clothing. I have been giving my baby girl organic produce from the start but I had never thought about buying organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most popular crops in the US and one of the most harmful to the ecosystem and to farm employees. The run off from these farms has ruined ecosystems and particularly water supplies. Organic products are made without using artificial fertilisers and pesticides. Alternatively, organic farming relies on things like crop rotation, enhancing soils naturally, and using eco friendly pest control practices.

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

Benefits of Organic Baby Clothing

Purchasing organic produce means you are getting clothes which have been produced in an eco-friendly manner, or at the very least in a way which causes less damage to our habitat. No or a reduction in the use of pesticides and fertilizers means less pollution of our land and rivers, reduced cancers for farm employees, and fewer health risks for our babies and children by reducing their contact with dangerous chemicals.

Quite a few wholesalers of baby clothes also sell a range of organic clothes or you can find designers completely committed to organic baby clothes. Thankfully, there are a lot of designs to choose from and all ages are provided for, from babies to teenagers. Naturally, organic fashion for men and women is also obtainable 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 purchase organic cotton or bamboo clothes (which is a great alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my children but I am absolutely going try to whenever possible.
