Long before I had my baby, I never really imagined I would be part of a mothers group. However, now that I am finally a new mother, chatting to other mothers about what is taking place in my life has benefited me immensely. We discuss how we deal with our children, what to do and not to do, we share meal plans, and we like to discuss the most recent baby outfits we have bought.

I usually go out with 2 other women, once a month, to catch up on the latest new. We often meet at Huddle House Inc (which is in JONESBORO, AR) as that is pretty central for all of us. Last week was particularly interesting as we talked about organic baby clothes. I have been giving my baby girl organic food from the beginning but it had never crossed my mind to purchasing organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most popular plants in the US and one of the most ruinous to the habitat and to farmers. The run off from cotton farms has ruined the environment and particularly water ways. Organic cotton is produced without the need for artificial fertilisers and chemicals. Rather, organic farming relies on things like crop rotation, raising the quality of soils naturally, and using organic insect control methods.

You can buy beautiful organic baby clothes online from a number of retailers. Sckoon has some beautiful organic baby apparel.

Benefits of Organic Clothing

Purchasing organic produce means you are buying clothes which have been produced in an eco friendly manner, or at the very least in a way which causes less contamination of our habitat. No or less use of pesticides and fertilisers means less pollution of our land and rivers, reduced cancers for farm employees, and fewer health risks for our children by moderating their contact with dangerous chemicals.

A number of makers of baby clothes also produce a range of organic clothing or you can find stores completely dedicated to organic baby clothing. Thankfully, there are a lot of designs to choose from and all ages are catered for, from babies to older children. Of course, organic clothing for men and women is also obtainable and I am looking into that for myself and my man.

I would not go as far to say that I am only ever going to purchase organic cotton or bamboo clothing (which is a great alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my children but I am most definitely going try to whenever possible.
