Back before I had my children, I never believed I would join a mothers group. Be that as it may, now that I have become a mum, being able to talk to other parents about what is going on in my life has benefited me immensely. We talk about how we raise our children, what to do and not to do, we share recipes, and we like to chat about the newest baby clothes we have purchased.

I generally get together with 2 other parents, once a week, to catch up on the latest gossip. We generally meet at New Century Chinese Restaurant (which is in KISSIMMEE, FL) as that is pretty central for all of us. Last month was particularly eye opening seeing we talked about organic baby clothing. I have been feeding my baby organic food from day one but it had never crossed my mind to purchasing organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most popular crops in the US and one of the most harmful to the environment and to farm employees. The run off from these farms has damaged habitats and in particular water supplies. Organic produce is grown without the use of artificial fertilisers and chemicals. Rather, organic farming relies on things like crop rotation, enhancing soils naturally, and using organic insect control practices.

You can get organic baby apparel online from a number of shops. Sckoon has some of the cutest organic baby clothes.

Benefits of Organic Clothing

Purchasing organic products means you are getting clothes which have been produced in an eco-friendly manner, or at the very least in a way which causes less pollution of our habitat. No or a reduction in the use of insecticides and synthetic fertilisers means less pollution of our land and rivers, less cancers for farm workers, and fewer health risks for children by moderating their contact with potentially dangerous chemicals.

Quite a few retailers of baby clothes also sell a range of organic clothes or you can find shops entirely dedicated to organic baby clothes. Anyway, there are a lot of brands to choose from and all ages are taken care of, from toddlers to teenagers. Naturally, organic clothing for men and women is also accessible 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 buy organic cotton or bamboo cotton clothing (which is a good alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my children but I am definitely going try to whenever I can.
