Back before I had my children, I never imagined I would be part of a mothers group. Be that as it may, now that I am a mother, talking to other mothers about what is taking place in my life has benefited me immensely. We discuss how we raise our children, what to do and not to do, we share recipes, and we like to talk about the most recent baby outfits we have picked up.

I generally go out with 2 other parents, once a month, to catch up on the latest new. We often meet at Lee's Famous Recipe (which is in NICHOLASVILLE, KY) as that is quite central for all of us. Last week was particularly interesting as we chatted about organic baby clothing. I have been providing my baby girl organic food from day one but I had never thought about buying organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most broadly grown products in the world and one of the most devastating to the environment and to farmers. The run off from these farms has damaged ecosystems and particularly water bodies. Organic cotton is grown without the use of artificial fertilisers and pesticides. Alternatively, organic farming depends on things like crop rotation, raising the quality of soils naturally, and using organic insect control techniques.

You can get organic cotton baby clothes online from a number of stores. Sckoon has some beautiful organic baby clothes.

Benefits of Organic Clothing

Getting organic produce means you are purchasing clothes 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 less use of herbicides and fertilisers means less pollution of our farms and lakes, less health problems for farmers, and fewer health risks for our babies and children by reducing their contact with dangerous chemicals.

A number of makers of baby clothes also sell a range of organic clothes or you can find designers completely devoted to organic baby clothes. Anyway, there are a lot of marks to choose from and all ages are taken care of, from infants to adolescents. Naturally, organic fashion for men and women is also accessible and I am looking into that for myself and my husband.

I am not saying that I am only going to buy organic cotton or bamboo clothes (which is a good alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my child but I am most definitely going try to whenever possible.
