Back before I had my first child, I never thought I would be part of a mothers group. However, now that I have become a mother, chatting to other mothers about what is happening in my life has benefited me immensely. We discuss how we bring up our children, what to do and not to do, we share meal plans, and we like to chat about the latest baby outfits we have picked up.

I more often than not get together with 2 other women, once a month, to find out the latest happenings. We usually meet at Snog Shack (which is in NORTH LAS VEGAS, NV) as that is pretty central for all of us. Last time was really interesting as we discussed baby clothes. I have been giving my baby organic produce from the beginning but I had never thought about getting organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most broadly grown plants in the world and one of the most ruinous to the environment and to farm employees. The run off from cotton farms has damaged ecosystems and in particular water ways. Organic products are produced without using artificial fertilisers and chemicals. Alternatively, organic farming depends on things like crop rotation, improving soils naturally, and using eco friendly pest control techniques.

You can purchase organic cotton baby outfits online from a number of retailers. Sckoon is my favourite for organic baby apparel.

Benefits of Organic Clothing

Getting organic clothes means you are purchasing produce which have been produced in an eco-friendly manner, or at a minimum in a way which causes less damage to soils and waterways. No or a reduction in the use of insecticides and fertilisers means less pollution of our soils and lakes, fewer cancers for farm employees, and fewer health risks for children by moderating their contact with toxic chemicals.

Quite a few wholesalers of baby clothes also make a range of organic clothing or you can find shops completely dedicated to organic baby clothes. Anyway, there are a lot of designs to choose from and all ages are catered for, from infants to adolescents. Of course, organic clothing for men and women is also obtainable and I am looking into that for myself and my man.

I am not saying that I am only going to get organic cotton or bamboo clothing (which is an amazing alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my child but I am absolutely going try to whenever it is available.
