As most of you know, shopping for organic clothing for babies is expensive! In our family, we have mostly handed down conventional clothing, although I would love to cloth my children in only organic cotton. Especially seeing as how conventionally-grown cotton occupies three percent of the world's farmland, but uses 25 percent of the world's chemical pesticides!
Now Organically Grown has made it a bit easier. Their new line will be sold in stores such as: Macy’s, Gottschalk’s, Dillard’s, Marshall’s, and Buy Buy Baby. They will run you from $20-38. The products include: 3 piece gown, hat and blanket sets, 3piece bodysuit, pants and cap , 3 piece kimono tie jacket, bodysuit and pant 3 piece long-sleeve lettuce edge jacket, pant and bodysuit, coveralls, blankets.
The sizes are newborn through 9 months, but I would encourage them to enter the world of toddler clothes. In addition, I like the idea of unisex patterns featuring animals, because I remember how hard it was to dress my girls in gender neutral colors with fun lively patterns. We shouldn't have to choose between football and pink frilly shirts.
If goes without saying that the sets and blankets would be a lovely eco-friendly gift for a new baby in the family for this holiday season.

I too would love all organic but it is so costly. Also I am looking for my older girls (11 and 13) and just have a hard time finding stuff that is fun and organic for their age!
Great to know it is there. You never know when you may need something for a new little one!
