Long before I had my children, I never really thought I would be part of a mothers group. However, now that I have become a new mother, being able to talk to other women about what is taking place in my life has benefited me immensely. We chat about how we bring up our children, what to do and not to do, we share meal plans, and we like to chat about the newest baby outfits we have bought.

I generally meet with 3 other mothers, once a month, to find out the latest gossip. We often meet at Katies Subs (which is in POUND, WI) as that is quite central for all of us. Last week 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 not considered getting organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most broadly grown products in America and one of the most devastating to the habitat and to farmers. The run off from non-organic cotton farms has damaged habitats and in particular water ways. Organic produce is made without the need for artificial fertilisers and pesticides. Rather, organic farming depends upon things like crop rotation, improving soils naturally, and using organic pest control methods.

You can purchase beautiful organic baby apparel online from a number of stores. Sckoon is my favourite for organic baby clothes.

Benefits of Organic Baby Clothing

Buying organic products means you are purchasing produce which have been produced in an eco-friendly manner, or at the very least in a way which causes less pollution of soils and waterways. No or reduced use of herbicides and fertilisers means less pollution of our soils and lakes, reduced cancers for farm employees, and fewer health risks for our babies and children by reducing their contact with toxic chemicals.

A number of wholesalers of baby clothes also produce a range of organic clothing or you can find companies entirely dedicated to organic baby clothing. Thankfully, there are a lot of designs to choose from and all ages are catered for, from babies to older children. Of course, organic fashion for men and women is also obtainable and I am looking into that for myself and my partner.

I do not think that I am just going to get organic cotton or bamboo clothes (which is a great alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my baby but I am absolutely going try to whenever I can.
