Before I had my children, I never really thought I would belong to a mothers group. Anyhow, now that I have become a new mother, being able to talk to other mothers about what is happening in my life has been a huge help. We talk about how we bring up our children, what to do and not to do, we share meal plans, and we enjoy being able to chat about the most recent baby outfits we have bought.

I usually go out with 3 other women, once a month, to find out the latest gossip. We often meet at Quagliata's Restaurant (which is in CLEVELAND, OH) as that is fairly central for all of us. Last month was more exciting seeing we discussed organic baby clothes. I have been feeding my baby girl organic food from day one but it had never crossed my mind to purchasing organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most popular crops in the US and one of the most devastating to the ecosystem and to farm workers. The run off from non-organic cotton farms has damaged ecosystems and especially water supplies. Organic products are made without using artificial fertilisers and insecticides. Rather, organic farming relies on things like crop rotation, improving soils naturally, and using organic pest control methods.

You can buy soft organic cotton baby outfits online from a number of shops. Sckoon has some beautiful organic baby apparel.

Benefits of Organic Baby Clothing

Buying organic clothing means you are getting products which have been produced in an environmentally friendly manner, or at least in a way which causes less contamination of our habitat. No or less use of herbicides and fertilizers means less pollution of our farms and rivers, fewer diseases for farm employees, and fewer health risks for our children by reducing their contact with potentially dangerous chemicals.

A number of makers of baby clothes also make a range of organic items or you can find shops entirely devoted to organic baby clothing. Either way, there are a lot of designs to choose from and all ages are provided for, from toddlers to teenagers. Obviously, organic fashion for men and women is also obtainable and I am looking into that for myself and my partner.

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