Long before I had my baby, I never believed I would join a mothers group. Be that as it may, now that I am finally a new mother, talking to other parents 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 enjoy being able to chat about the most recent baby clothes we have picked up.

I generally go out with 2 other mothers, once a month, to hear about the latest happenings. We often meet at El Charro (which is in SEATTLE, WA) as that is fairly central for all of us. Last week was really eye opening as we chatted about baby clothes. I have been providing my baby organic produce from day one but I had never thought about purchasing organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most broadly grown plants in the US and one of the most devastating to the habitat and to farm employees. The run off from cotton farms has ruined habitats and in particular water ways. Organic produce is grown without the need for artificial fertilisers and pesticides. Rather, organic farming depends upon things like crop rotation, improving soils naturally, and using organic pest control techniques.

You can purchase organic baby outfits online from a number of stores. Sckoon has some of the cutest organic baby clothing.

Benefits of Organic Clothing

Getting organic clothes means you are getting products which have been produced in an eco friendly manner, or at least in a way which causes less damage to our habitat. No or a reduction in the use of pesticides and fertilizers means less pollution of our soils and lakes, less diseases for farmers, and fewer health risks for our babies and children by lessening their contact with toxic chemicals.

Quite a few producers of baby clothes also make a range of organic clothes or you can find designers entirely committed to organic baby clothes. Either way, there are a lot of designs to choose from and all ages are catered for, from babies to adolescents. Of course, organic fashion 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 clothes (which is a fantastic alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my child but I am most definitely going try to whenever it is available.
