Before I had my baby, I never really imagined I would be part of a mothers group. However, now that I am finally a mum, chatting to other women about what is taking place in my life has really helped me. We talk about how we deal with our children, what to do and not to do, we share baby food recipes, and we like to talk about the newest baby outfits we have purchased.

I more often than not go out with 3 other parents, once a fortnight, to hear about the latest gossip. We generally meet at Ruffinos Italian Restaurant and Pizzeria (which is in PORT SAINT LUCIE, FL) as that is quite central for all of us. Last time was really exciting seeing we chatted about baby clothes. I have been giving my baby organic meals from day one but I had not considered buying organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most popular products in the world and one of the most harmful to the habitat and to farm workers. The run off from cotton farms has destroyed ecosystems and particularly water supplies. Organic cotton is grown without the use of artificial fertilisers and insecticides. Rather, organic farming depends upon things like crop rotation, improving soils naturally, and using organic pest control techniques.

You can buy soft organic cotton baby clothing online from a number of retailers. Sckoon has some beautiful organic baby clothing.

Benefits of Organic Clothing

Buying organic clothes 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 reduced use of insecticides and fertilizers means less pollution of our farms and waterways, less cancers for farm workers, and fewer health risks for our babies and children by reducing their contact with toxic chemicals.

Many producers of baby clothes also sell a range of organic items or you can find companies solely devoted to organic baby fashion. Thankfully, there are a lot of designs to choose from and all ages are catered for, from toddlers to older children. Obviously, organic fashion for men and women is also available and I am looking into that for myself and my partner.

I am not saying that I am only going to purchase organic cotton or bamboo clothes (which is an excellent alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my baby but I am without a doubt going try to whenever it is available.
