Back before I had my children, I never imagined I would belong to a mothers group. However, now that I have become a mum, being able to talk to other women about what is happening in my life has really helped me. We chat about how we raise our children, what to do and not to do, we share meal plans, and we enjoy being able to chat about the newest baby outfits we have picked up.

I more often than not meet with 2 other parents, once a fortnight, to hear about the latest new. We generally meet at Aransazu (which is in ROCKPORT, TX) as that is quite central for all of us. Last month was really eye opening because we talked about organic baby clothing. I have been giving my baby organic meals from the beginning but it had never crossed my mind to getting organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most widely grown plants in the world and one of the most devastating to the ecosystem and to farm employees. The run off from non-organic cotton farms has damaged the environment and especially water supplies. Organic produce is made without using artificial fertilisers and pesticides. Alternatively, organic farming depends upon things like crop rotation, raising the quality of soils naturally, and using eco friendly pest control methods.

You can buy soft organic cotton baby outfits online from a number of stores. Sckoon has some of the cutest organic baby apparel.

Benefits of Organic Baby Clothing

Buying organic clothing means you are buying products which have been produced in an environmentally friendly manner, or at least in a way which causes less contamination of our habitat. No or reduced use of herbicides and fertilizers means less pollution of our soils and lakes, fewer health problems for farm workers, and fewer health risks for children by moderating their contact with dangerous chemicals.

A number of retailers of baby clothes also sell a range of organic clothing or you can find shops solely devoted to organic baby clothing. Either way, there are a lot of designs to choose from and all ages are taken care of, from infants to older children. Obviously, organic fashion for men and women is also accessible and I am looking into that for myself and my husband.

I do not think that I am only ever 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 possible.
