Long before I had my baby, I never imagined I would join a mothers group. Anyhow, now that I am a mum, chatting to other mothers about what is taking place in my life has been a huge help. We chat about how we raise our children, what to do and not to do, we share recipes, and we love to talk about the newest baby outfits we have bought.

I more often than not get together with 2 other parents, once a fortnight, to hear about the latest new. We often meet at Del Taco Inc (which is in YUMA, AZ) as that is pretty central for all of us. Last time was particularly exciting as we talked about baby clothes. I have been feeding my baby girl organic produce from day one but I had not considered getting organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most popular crops in America and one of the most harmful to the ecosystem and to farmers. The run off from cotton farms has destroyed the environment and in particular water bodies. Organic produce is made without the need for artificial fertilisers and insecticides. Rather, organic farming relies on things like crop rotation, improving soils naturally, and using eco friendly pest control techniques.

You can purchase organic cotton baby apparel online from a number of retailers. Sckoon has some gorgeous organic baby clothing.

Benefits of Choosing Organic Products

Getting organic produce means you are buying produce which have been produced in an eco friendly manner, or at least in a way which causes less damage to the environment. No or reduced use of herbicides and fertilizers means less pollution of our land and waterways, fewer cancers for farmers, and fewer health risks for our babies and children by moderating their contact with toxic chemicals.

Quite a few producers of baby clothes also make a range of organic items or you can find designers entirely dedicated to organic baby fashion. Thankfully, there are a lot of brands to choose from and all ages are catered for, from babies to older children. Of course, organic fashion for men and women is also available and I am looking into that for myself and my husband.

I would not go as far to say that I am only going to buy organic cotton or bamboo clothes (which is a great alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my baby but I am definitely going try to whenever it is available.
