Back before I had my first child, I never really thought I would belong to a mothers group. Be that as it may, now that I am a mother, chatting to other parents about what is taking place in my life has been a huge help. We chat about how we bring up our children, what to do and not to do, we share recipes, and we love to discuss the newest baby outfits we have bought.

I usually go out with 3 other women, once a week, to catch up on the latest happenings. We usually meet at Christmas Valley Lodge & Restaurant (which is in CHRISTMAS VALLEY, OR) as that is quite central for all of us. Last time was more interesting because we discussed organic baby clothes. I have been giving my baby boy organic meals from the beginning but I had never thought about buying organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most widely grown products in the US and one of the most devastating to the habitat and to farm employees. The run off from cotton farms has destroyed ecosystems and in particular water bodies. Organic cotton is grown without the use of artificial fertilisers and pesticides. Instead, organic farming relies on things like crop rotation, raising the quality of soils naturally, and using organic pest control methods.

You can buy organic cotton baby clothing online from a number of shops. Sckoon has some gorgeous organic baby clothes.

Benefits of Organic Clothing

Getting organic clothing means you are purchasing clothes which have been produced in an eco-friendly manner, or at the very least in a way which causes less pollution of the environment. No or less use of pesticides and fertilizers means less pollution of our soils and waterways, fewer cancers for farm workers, and fewer health risks for our babies and children by moderating their contact with potentially dangerous chemicals.

Several producers of baby clothes also make a range of organic clothes or you can find companies solely dedicated to organic baby fashion. Anyway, there are a lot of brands to choose from and all ages are taken care of, from toddlers to adolescents. Obviously, organic clothes for men and women is also available and I am looking into that for myself and my husband.

I do not think that I am just going to get organic cotton or bamboo clothes (which is a fantastic alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my baby but I am definitely going try to whenever I can.
