Back before I had my children, I never believed I would be part of a mothers group. Anyhow, now that I have become a mum, talking to other parents about what is happening in my life has been a huge help. We discuss how we raise our children, what to do and not to do, we share baby food recipes, and we love to chat about the newest baby clothes we have picked up.

I generally go out with 3 other parents, once a week, to catch up on the latest new. We usually meet at Georges Hotdogs (which is in CHICAGO, IL) as that is quite central for all of us. Last time was more eye opening seeing we chatted about organic baby clothes. I have been providing my baby boy organic food from the start but it had never crossed my mind to getting organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most widely grown crops in the US and one of the most harmful to the ecosystem and to farmers. The run off from these farms has damaged the environment and in particular water ways. Organic products are made without the need for artificial fertilisers and insecticides. Alternatively, organic farming depends upon things like crop rotation, raising the quality of soils naturally, and using organic pest control practices.

You can purchase soft organic cotton baby apparel online from a number of stores. Sckoon has some of the cutest organic baby clothes.

Benefits of Organic Baby Clothing

Getting organic clothes means you are getting products which have been produced in an environmentally friendly manner, or at least in a way which causes less damage to our habitat. No or less use of pesticides and fertilisers means less pollution of our land and rivers, reduced cancers for farmers, and fewer health risks for our children by lessening their contact with potentially dangerous chemicals.

Quite a few retailers of baby clothes also produce a range of organic clothing or you can find stores completely devoted to organic baby clothing. Anyway, there are a lot of designs to choose from and all ages are catered for, from infants to adolescents. Of course, organic clothing for men and women is also obtainable and I am looking into that for myself and my man.

I would not go as far to say that I am just going to purchase organic cotton or bamboo clothing (which is an amazing alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my child but I am absolutely going try to whenever I can.
