7 Ways to Save Money on
Organic Baby Clothes

You may be overwhelmed by the thought of filling your baby's entire wardrobe with organic baby clothes. You don't have to be. If you need to, ease your way into this lifestyle choice. Here are some tips for making it more affordable.

Organic baby clothes can be affordable.

If you are expecting, register with an organic baby clothing store or tell your shower host you would like an organic-themed baby shower.

You will still get (and be thankful for) some conventional baby clothes, but many loved ones will be happy to get you exactly what register for.
Look for organic baby clothes coupons. If you are buying a product directly from the manufacturer or from a popular boutique, you can often find coupon codes to enter in at the of purchase.
Don't be afraid of hand-me-down baby clothing until you can buy what you want. If it's not organic, the good news is that most of the fabric finish will have been washed away. If it is organic, it should be in good condition for your baby. Organic cotton clothing is more durable.
You can shop for gently used clothing at consignment shops or on Ebay. However, inspect clothing carefully for stains, holes, etc. You may also want to ask for a money back guarantee in case something is shipped to you in an unacceptable condition.
If you are trying to determine what to buy first, start with a few basic items like a set of bodysuits, tees, or baby pajamas that will be closest to baby's skin and layer for variety.
You don't have to shop the boutiques to find good, quality organic baby apparel.

Major retailers such as Babies R US and Target.com offer some of the most affordable prices you can find on organic baby clothes.

Also don't forget about Amazon. They are a great resource for discounts on designer brands and more traditional brands such as Gerber.

You should be able to get more organic apparel for your money. If you like to compare pricing, the internet makes it easy. However, read labels carefully to make sure you are getting what you pay for. For example, on one site I found a cute bodysuit that said "100% organic." The fabric was actually conventional cotton.
Items on clearance are still good. If you plan ahead, you can likely benefit from the sale or clearance section of an organic boutique's website. The shop's owner does not want to be left with a lot of inventory at the end of a season, so they offer good discounts on these items.

One organic baby boutique that has a great Sale section is Wild Dill.

Just think about the season and size your baby will be when you want her to wear the outfit and she can have fresh clothes waiting for her next growth spurt.
