Long before I had my baby, I never imagined I would be part of a mothers group. Be that as it may, now that I have become a mum, being able to talk to other women about what is happening in my life has really helped me. We talk about how we raise our children, what to do and not to do, we share meal plans, and we like to discuss the newest baby outfits we have purchased.

I more often than not get together with 2 other women, once a fortnight, to catch up on the latest new. We often meet at Mandarin (which is in LEXINGTON, KY) as that is pretty central for all of us. Last month was really interesting because we talked about organic baby clothing. I have been providing my baby boy organic meals from the start but I had not considered purchasing organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most broadly grown crops in the world and one of the most harmful to the environment and to farm workers. The run off from these farms has ruined habitats and in particular water bodies. Organic produce is produced without using artificial fertilisers and insecticides. Rather, organic farming depends on things like crop rotation, improving soils naturally, and using organic insect control techniques.

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

Benefits of Choosing Organic Products

Getting organic produce means you are purchasing clothes which have been produced in an eco-friendly manner, or at least in a way which causes less contamination of our habitat. No or reduced use of pesticides and fertilisers means less pollution of our land and lakes, fewer health problems for farm workers, and fewer health risks for our babies and children by reducing their contact with dangerous chemicals.

Many retailers of baby clothes also make a range of organic items or you can find retailers completely committed to organic baby fashion. Thankfully, there are a lot of marks to choose from and all ages are taken care of, from infants to teenagers. Obviously, organic clothing for men and women is also available and I am looking into that for myself and my partner.

I do not think that I am just going to purchase organic cotton or bamboo cotton clothing (which is a great alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my baby but I am most definitely going try to whenever it is available.
