Long before I had my first child, I never believed I would belong to a mothers group. However, now that I am a mother, chatting to other women about what is taking place in my life has been a huge help. We talk about how we bring up our children, what to do and not to do, we share meal plans, and we enjoy being able to discuss the latest baby fashions we have purchased.

I generally go out with 2 other women, once a month, to hear about the latest gossip. We generally meet at Pete & Mo's Pizzeria (which is in MARS HILL, ME) as that is fairly central for all of us. Last week was more interesting as we talked about organic baby clothes. I have been giving my baby girl organic meals from the beginning but I had never thought about getting organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most widely grown crops in America and one of the most ruinous to the habitat and to farmers. The run off from cotton farms has damaged the environment and particularly water supplies. Organic cotton is grown without using artificial fertilisers and chemicals. Instead, organic farming depends upon things like crop rotation, improving soils naturally, and using eco friendly pest control methods.

You can get beautiful organic baby clothing 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 buying products which have been produced in an environmentally friendly manner, or at 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 waterways, reduced health problems for farm employees, and fewer health risks for children by lessening their contact with dangerous chemicals.

Several producers of baby clothes also sell a range of organic clothing or you can find retailers solely committed to organic baby clothes. Either way, there are a lot of brands to choose from and all ages are catered for, from infants to teenagers. Of course, organic clothes for men and women is also obtainable and I am looking into that for myself and my husband.

I do not think that I am just going to get organic cotton or bamboo cotton clothing (which is a good alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my child but I am without a doubt going try to whenever it is available.
