Back before I had my children, I never thought I would join a mothers group. However, now that I am finally a new mother, chatting to other parents about what is going on in my life has been a huge help. We chat about how we deal with our children, what to do and not to do, we share baby food recipes, and we enjoy being able to discuss the most recent baby clothes we have picked up.

I generally meet with 3 other mothers, once a month, to catch up on the latest happenings. We generally meet at Hardee's of Sheffield Square (which is in RIDGEWAY, VA) as that is pretty central for all of us. Last month was more exciting seeing we discussed baby clothes. I have been giving 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 plants in the world and one of the most devastating to the ecosystem and to farmers. The run off from cotton farms has damaged habitats and especially water bodies. Organic products are made without the use of artificial fertilisers and insecticides. Rather, organic farming relies on things like crop rotation, raising the quality of soils naturally, and using eco friendly pest control techniques.

You can buy soft organic cotton baby outfits online from a number of retailers. Sckoon has some of the cutest organic baby clothing.

Benefits of Choosing Organic Products

Getting organic clothing means you are getting produce which have been produced in an eco friendly manner, or at least in a way which causes less contamination of the environment. No or a reduction in the use of insecticides and fertilizers means less pollution of our land and waterways, less cancers for farm workers, and fewer health risks for children by reducing their contact with dangerous chemicals.

A number of retailers of baby clothes also sell a range of organic clothes or you can find designers entirely devoted to organic baby fashion. Anyway, there are a lot of designs to choose from and all ages are provided for, from infants to adolescents. Of course, organic fashion for men and women is also available 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 purchase organic cotton or bamboo cotton clothing (which is a fantastic alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my child but I am most definitely going try to whenever possible.
