Before I had my first child, I never thought I would belong to a mothers group. Anyhow, now that I am finally a mum, being able to talk to other women about what is happening in my life has really helped me. We talk about how we bring up our children, what to do and not to do, we share recipes, and we like to chat about the newest baby outfits we have purchased.

I usually go out with 3 other parents, once a week, to catch up on the latest new. We generally meet at Hotel Inter-Continental Veranda Restaurant (which is in NEW ORLEANS, LA) as that is pretty central for all of us. Last time was really exciting as we talked about baby clothes. I have been providing my baby boy organic produce from the start but it had never crossed my mind to buying organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most broadly grown products in the US and one of the most ruinous to the environment and to farmers. The run off from cotton farms has damaged habitats and especially water bodies. Organic cotton is made without using artificial fertilisers and chemicals. Instead, organic farming relies on things like crop rotation, raising the quality of soils naturally, and using organic pest control techniques.

You can purchase organic baby clothing online from a number of shops. Sckoon has some beautiful organic baby apparel.

Benefits of Organic Baby Clothing

Buying organic clothing means you are purchasing products which have been produced in an environmentally friendly manner, or at least in a way which causes less damage to our habitat. No or less use of herbicides and fertilisers means less pollution of our soils and waterways, fewer health problems for farmers, and fewer health risks for children by reducing their contact with toxic chemicals.

Several wholesalers of baby clothes also sell a range of organic clothing or you can find stores solely dedicated to organic baby clothing. Anyway, there are a lot of marks to choose from and all ages are taken care of, from toddlers to teenagers. Of course, 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 cotton clothing (which is a good alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my children but I am most definitely going try to whenever I can.
