Long before I had my children, I never believed I would join a mothers group. However, now that I am a new mother, chatting to other mothers about what is going on in my life has been a huge help. We discuss how we raise our children, what to do and not to do, we share baby food recipes, and we love to chat about the newest baby outfits we have picked up.

I more often than not go out with 4 other parents, once a week, to hear about the latest happenings. We generally meet at GIM Wah Restaurant (which is in SEATTLE, WA) as that is pretty central for all of us. Last time was more interesting seeing we chatted about organic baby clothes. I have been feeding my baby organic food from the beginning but I had never thought about purchasing organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most popular products in the world and one of the most ruinous to the ecosystem and to farm workers. The run off from cotton farms has ruined ecosystems and in particular water bodies. Organic products are produced without using artificial fertilisers and pesticides. Rather, organic farming depends on things like crop rotation, improving soils naturally, and using organic pest control techniques.

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

Benefits of Choosing Organic Products

Purchasing organic products 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 contamination of our habitat. No or a reduction in the use of herbicides and fertilisers means less pollution of our soils and rivers, fewer diseases for farmers, and fewer health risks for our babies and children by reducing their contact with toxic chemicals.

A number of wholesalers of baby clothes also produce a range of organic items or you can find shops completely dedicated to organic baby clothing. Anyway, there are a lot of brands to choose from and all ages are provided for, from toddlers to teenagers. Obviously, organic fashion 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 clothing (which is an amazing alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my baby but I am definitely going try to whenever it is available.
