Before I had my baby, I never really believed I would join a mothers group. Be that as it may, now that I have become a mother, talking to other mothers about what is going on in my life has been a huge help. We chat about how we raise our children, what to do and not to do, we share recipes, and we enjoy being able to discuss the newest baby outfits we have bought.

I generally go out with 4 other women, once a fortnight, to find out the latest new. We usually meet at KAMS Chop Suey (which is in DETROIT, MI) as that is fairly central for all of us. Last week was really exciting as we talked about organic baby clothing. I have been feeding my baby organic food from the beginning but I had not considered buying organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most broadly grown crops in America and one of the most harmful to the ecosystem and to farm workers. The run off from cotton farms has ruined ecosystems and particularly water supplies. Organic products are produced without using artificial fertilisers and pesticides. Instead, organic farming depends on things like crop rotation, improving soils naturally, and using organic insect control techniques.

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

Benefits of Organic Clothing

Getting organic clothing means you are getting produce which have been produced in an eco-friendly manner, or at least in a way which causes less contamination of soils and waterways. No or a reduction in the use of pesticides and fertilisers means less pollution of our land and rivers, fewer health problems for farm employees, and fewer health risks for children by reducing their contact with toxic chemicals.

Quite a few producers of baby clothes also produce a range of organic clothes or you can find wholesalers entirely committed to organic baby fashion. Anyway, there are a lot of designs to choose from and all ages are catered for, from toddlers to adolescents. Naturally, organic clothing for men and women is also obtainable and I am looking into that for myself and my partner.

I would not go as far to say that I am only going to buy organic cotton or bamboo clothing (which is an excellent alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my baby but I am without a doubt going try to whenever it is available.
