Back before I had my children, I never really believed I would belong to a mothers group. Be that as it may, now that I am finally a mum, chatting to other parents about what is happening in my life has benefited me immensely. We talk about how we bring up our children, what to do and not to do, we share meal plans, and we like to discuss the most recent baby fashions we have picked up.

I usually meet with 3 other parents, once a month, to catch up on the latest happenings. We generally meet at Micheal's Roscommon House (which is in BELLEVILLE, NJ) as that is pretty central for all of us. Last month was more exciting as we discussed organic baby clothes. I have been feeding my baby boy organic food from the beginning but I had never thought about purchasing organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most popular plants in the world and one of the most devastating to the environment and to farm employees. The run off from non-organic cotton farms has destroyed habitats and in particular water bodies. Organic produce is grown without the need for artificial fertilisers and insecticides. Instead, organic farming depends upon things like crop rotation, raising the quality of soils naturally, and using eco friendly pest control practices.

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

Benefits of Organic Baby Clothing

Purchasing organic products means you are purchasing produce which have been produced in an eco-friendly manner, or at a minimum in a way which causes less damage to soils and waterways. No or a reduction in the use of insecticides and synthetic fertilisers means less pollution of our land and waterways, less cancers for farm employees, and fewer health risks for our babies and children by moderating their contact with dangerous chemicals.

Several retailers of baby clothes also make a range of organic clothes or you can find companies entirely devoted to organic baby fashion. Thankfully, there are a lot of brands to choose from and all ages are taken care of, from toddlers to older children. Naturally, organic clothes for men and women is also obtainable 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 good alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my children but I am most definitely going try to whenever possible.
