Before I had my children, I had not believed I would join a mothers group. However, now that I have become a new mother, being able to talk to other women about what is going on in my life has really helped me. We discuss how we raise our children, what to do and not to do, we share recipes, and we enjoy being able to discuss the latest baby clothes we have picked up.

I generally go out with 3 other mothers, once a week, to find out the latest happenings. We generally meet at Italian Corner Deli and Pasta Restaurant (which is in OCEANSIDE, CA) as that is fairly central for all of us. Last month was more exciting because we talked about organic baby clothes. I have been feeding my baby girl organic food from day one but I had never thought about purchasing organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most broadly grown products in the US and one of the most ruinous to the ecosystem and to farm workers. The run off from non-organic cotton farms has destroyed the environment and particularly water supplies. Organic produce is grown without using artificial fertilisers and pesticides. Rather, organic farming depends on things like crop rotation, improving soils naturally, and using organic pest control techniques.

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

Benefits of Organic Clothing

Getting organic clothing means you are getting clothes which have been produced in an environmentally friendly manner, or at a minimum in a way which causes less pollution of soils and waterways. No or less use of herbicides and fertilizers means less pollution of our soils and lakes, fewer cancers for farm employees, and fewer health risks for children by reducing their contact with potentially dangerous chemicals.

Several producers of baby clothes also make a range of organic items or you can find designers entirely devoted to organic baby clothing. Anyway, there are a lot of brands to choose from and all ages are catered for, from babies to adolescents. Obviously, organic fashion for men and women is also obtainable and I am looking into that for myself and my husband.

I would not go as far to say that I am only going to get organic cotton or bamboo clothes (which is a great alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my child but I am without a doubt going try to whenever I can.
