Back before I had my first child, I had not thought I would be part of a mothers group. However, now that I have become a new mother, talking to other women about what is taking place in my life has benefited me immensely. We talk about how we deal with our children, what to do and not to do, we share recipes, and we enjoy being able to chat about the most recent baby outfits we have picked up.

I usually get together with 3 other mothers, once a week, to hear about the latest happenings. We often meet at Jack's Restaurant (which is in MONTEZUMA, GA) as that is fairly central for all of us. Last week was really interesting seeing we chatted about organic baby clothing. I have been giving my baby girl organic meals from the beginning but it had never crossed my mind to buying organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most popular crops in the world and one of the most ruinous to the habitat and to farm employees. The run off from non-organic cotton farms has destroyed habitats and particularly water ways. Organic cotton is grown without the need for artificial fertilisers and chemicals. Rather, organic farming relies on things like crop rotation, enhancing soils naturally, and using eco friendly pest control practices.

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

Benefits of Organic Baby Clothing

Buying organic products means you are getting clothes which have been produced in an eco-friendly manner, or at a minimum in a way which causes less damage to the environment. No or reduced use of pesticides and synthetic fertilisers means less pollution of our farms and rivers, reduced diseases for farmers, and fewer health risks for children by reducing their contact with dangerous chemicals.

Many makers of baby clothes also sell a range of organic clothes or you can find wholesalers completely committed to organic baby clothes. Anyway, there are a lot of marks to choose from and all ages are provided for, from toddlers to teenagers. Naturally, organic fashion for men and women is also obtainable and I am looking into that for myself and my husband.

I am not saying that I am just going to purchase organic cotton or bamboo cotton clothing (which is an amazing alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my baby but I am most definitely going try to whenever I can.
