Before I had my first child, I never thought I would belong to a mothers group. Be that as it may, now that I have become a mother, talking to other parents 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 like to discuss the newest baby outfits we have bought.

I more often than not meet with 4 other women, once a fortnight, to find out the latest happenings. We often meet at Dairy Queen of Coatesville (which is in COATESVILLE, PA) as that is fairly central for all of us. Last week was more eye opening seeing we talked about organic baby clothing. I have been feeding my baby girl organic food from the start but it had never crossed my mind to purchasing organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most broadly grown 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 ruined the environment and particularly water supplies. Organic products are made without the need for artificial fertilisers and pesticides. Alternatively, organic farming relies on things like crop rotation, improving soils naturally, and using eco friendly pest control practices.

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

Benefits of Choosing Organic Products

Purchasing organic clothes means you are purchasing clothes 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 less use of insecticides and fertilisers means less pollution of our land and waterways, fewer diseases for farm employees, and fewer health risks for our babies and children by moderating their contact with toxic chemicals.

A number of retailers of baby clothes also sell a range of organic items or you can find wholesalers completely committed to organic baby fashion. Either way, there are a lot of marks to choose from and all ages are taken care of, from infants to older children. Naturally, organic clothing for men and women is also obtainable and I am looking into that for myself and my husband.

I am not saying that I am only going to purchase organic cotton or bamboo cotton clothing (which is a good alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my children but I am most definitely going try to whenever it is available.
