Long before I had my children, I never imagined I would belong to a mothers group. However, now that I am a mother, being able to talk to other parents about what is taking place in my life has benefited me immensely. We talk about how we raise our children, what to do and not to do, we share baby food recipes, and we love to talk about the latest baby fashions we have picked up.

I usually go out with 4 other women, once a month, to hear about the latest happenings. We generally meet at Forno Pizzeria & Grille (which is in MAPLE SHADE, NJ) as that is quite central for all of us. Last time was more exciting seeing we talked about baby clothes. I have been providing my baby boy organic food from day one but I had not considered buying organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most broadly grown crops in the US and one of the most harmful to the habitat and to farm employees. The run off from these farms has ruined ecosystems and especially water bodies. Organic products are made without using artificial fertilisers and pesticides. Instead, organic farming relies on things like crop rotation, enhancing soils naturally, and using organic pest control methods.

You can buy organic baby clothing online from a number of retailers. Sckoon has some of the cutest organic baby clothes.

Benefits of Choosing Organic Products

Purchasing organic clothing means you are getting produce which have been produced in an eco-friendly manner, or at a minimum in a way which causes less pollution of the environment. No or reduced use of pesticides and synthetic fertilisers means less pollution of our land and lakes, reduced health problems for farm employees, and fewer health risks for children by moderating their contact with toxic chemicals.

A number of makers of baby clothes also sell a range of organic clothes or you can find retailers completely dedicated to organic baby clothing. Thankfully, there are a lot of designs to choose from and all ages are catered for, from infants to teenagers. Naturally, organic clothing for men and women is also accessible and I am looking into that for myself and my partner.

I do not think that I am only going to get organic cotton or bamboo clothing (which is an excellent alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my baby but I am most definitely going try to whenever it is available.
