Back before I had my first child, I never really thought I would join a mothers group. However, now that I am a mum, talking 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 baby food recipes, and we love to talk about the latest baby outfits we have purchased.

I usually meet with 3 other women, once a week, to find out the latest happenings. We often meet at Deb's Diner (which is in HARLEM, MT) as that is quite central for all of us. Last time was really eye opening seeing we talked about organic baby clothing. I have been providing my baby girl organic meals from the beginning but I had never thought about purchasing organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most popular crops in the US and one of the most ruinous to the ecosystem and to farm workers. The run off from non-organic cotton farms has damaged the environment and especially water ways. Organic produce is produced without the need for artificial fertilisers and insecticides. Rather, organic farming depends on things like crop rotation, raising the quality of soils naturally, and using eco friendly pest control methods.

You can buy beautiful organic baby clothing online from a number of shops. Sckoon is my favourite for organic baby clothing.

Benefits of Organic Clothing

Getting organic produce means you are purchasing products which have been produced in an eco-friendly manner, or at least in a way which causes less pollution of soils and waterways. No or a reduction in the use of herbicides and synthetic fertilisers means less pollution of our soils and waterways, reduced health problems for farm employees, and fewer health risks for our children by lessening their contact with potentially dangerous chemicals.

Quite a few makers of baby clothes also produce a range of organic items or you can find companies completely devoted to organic baby fashion. Anyway, there are a lot of marks to choose from and all ages are taken care of, from infants to teenagers. Of course, organic fashion for men and women is also available and I am looking into that for myself and my partner.

I am not saying that I am only ever going to get organic cotton or bamboo cotton clothing (which is an excellent alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my child but I am most definitely going try to whenever I can.
