Back before I had my baby, I never thought I would belong to a mothers group. However, now that I am finally a mother, chatting to other mothers about what is taking place in my life has benefited me immensely. We discuss how we deal with our children, what to do and not to do, we share baby food recipes, and we love to talk about the newest baby outfits we have picked up.

I generally get together with 2 other women, once a month, to find out the latest gossip. We generally meet at Barbeque Catering & Fixins (which is in WICHITA FALLS, TX) as that is pretty central for all of us. Last month was more eye opening because we chatted about baby clothes. I have been feeding my baby boy organic meals from day one but it had never crossed my mind to purchasing organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most popular crops in the US and one of the most harmful to the environment and to farmers. The run off from these farms has damaged ecosystems and especially water bodies. Organic produce is grown without the need for artificial fertilisers and pesticides. Alternatively, organic farming depends upon things like crop rotation, enhancing soils naturally, and using eco friendly pest control methods.

You can get organic cotton baby apparel online from a number of shops. Sckoon has some of the cutest organic baby clothing.

Benefits of Organic Baby Clothing

Purchasing organic clothes means you are buying products which have been produced in an environmentally friendly manner, or at the very least in a way which causes less damage to our habitat. No or reduced use of pesticides and fertilizers means less pollution of our land and waterways, reduced diseases for farmers, and fewer health risks for children by lessening their contact with dangerous chemicals.

Several wholesalers of baby clothes also produce a range of organic items or you can find shops solely dedicated to organic baby clothes. Either way, there are a lot of marks to choose from and all ages are catered for, from infants to teenagers. Of course, organic clothes for men and women is also available and I am looking into that for myself and my man.

I am not saying that I am only ever going to purchase organic cotton or bamboo clothing (which is a great alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my children but I am definitely going try to whenever it is available.
