Back before I had my children, I had not imagined I would join a mothers group. Anyhow, now that I am finally a new mother, chatting to other parents about what is going on in my life has been a huge help. We discuss how we deal with our children, what to do and not to do, we share meal plans, and we love to talk about the latest baby outfits we have purchased.

I usually get together with 4 other mothers, once a week, to catch up on the latest new. We generally meet at Joes Bar & Grill (which is in KIHEI, HI) as that is pretty central for all of us. Last week was more exciting as we talked about organic baby clothing. I have been providing my baby boy organic food from the beginning but I had never thought about purchasing organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most widely grown plants in the world and one of the most harmful to the environment and to farmers. The run off from these farms has destroyed habitats and particularly water ways. Organic produce is grown without the need for artificial fertilisers and insecticides. Rather, organic farming depends on things like crop rotation, enhancing soils naturally, and using eco friendly pest control techniques.

You can purchase beautiful organic baby apparel online from a number of retailers. Sckoon has some of the cutest organic baby clothing.

Benefits of Choosing Organic Products

Purchasing organic products means you are purchasing clothes which have been produced in an eco friendly manner, or at the very least in a way which causes less pollution of the environment. No or reduced use of insecticides and fertilisers means less pollution of our farms and lakes, less diseases for farmers, and fewer health risks for children by reducing their contact with toxic chemicals.

A number of retailers of baby clothes also make a range of organic items or you can find stores entirely committed to organic baby clothes. Thankfully, there are a lot of designs to choose from and all ages are provided for, from babies to adolescents. Of course, organic clothes for men and women is also accessible and I am looking into that for myself and my husband.

I am not saying that I am only going to get organic cotton or bamboo clothes (which is an amazing alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my baby but I am absolutely going try to whenever possible.
