Before I had my children, I had not thought I would join a mothers group. Anyhow, now that I am a mother, chatting to other women about what is going on in my life has really helped me. We talk about how we bring up our children, what to do and not to do, we share meal plans, and we love to discuss the latest baby outfits we have bought.

I more often than not meet with 2 other parents, once a week, to hear about the latest gossip. We often meet at Little Store (which is in CHAPPAQUA, NY) as that is quite central for all of us. Last time was more interesting seeing we discussed organic baby clothing. I have been providing my baby girl organic food from the beginning but I had never thought about buying organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most widely grown products in America and one of the most devastating to the habitat and to farm workers. The run off from non-organic cotton farms has destroyed habitats and particularly water supplies. Organic products are grown without using artificial fertilisers and chemicals. Alternatively, organic farming relies on things like crop rotation, enhancing soils naturally, and using eco friendly pest control methods.

You can buy beautiful organic baby clothes online from a number of stores. Sckoon has some of the cutest organic baby apparel.

Benefits of Organic Baby Clothing

Purchasing organic produce means you are getting clothes which have been produced in an eco-friendly manner, or at the very least in a way which causes less contamination of soils and waterways. No or a reduction in the use of herbicides and fertilisers means less pollution of our land and rivers, reduced diseases for farmers, and fewer health risks for our babies and children by reducing their contact with potentially dangerous chemicals.

Several producers of baby clothes also sell a range of organic clothes or you can find designers completely 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. Obviously, organic clothes for men and women is also accessible and I am looking into that for myself and my husband.

I am not saying that I am just going to purchase organic cotton or bamboo clothing (which is an excellent alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my child but I am definitely going try to whenever possible.
