Before I had my first child, I had not imagined I would belong to a mothers group. Be that as it may, now that I am finally a new mother, chatting to other women about what is happening in my life has benefited me immensely. We discuss how we deal with our children, what to do and not to do, we share meal plans, and we love to talk about the newest baby fashions we have bought.

I generally go out with 3 other mothers, once a month, to catch up on the latest gossip. We often meet at Kumo Japanese (which is in RIDGEWOOD, NJ) as that is pretty central for all of us. Last week was particularly eye opening because we chatted about baby clothes. I have been feeding my baby girl organic meals from day one but I had never thought about purchasing organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most widely grown plants in the US and one of the most ruinous to the ecosystem and to farmers. The run off from cotton farms has ruined ecosystems and particularly water supplies. Organic products are made without using artificial fertilisers and pesticides. Alternatively, organic farming depends upon things like crop rotation, enhancing soils naturally, and using organic pest control practices.

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

Benefits of Choosing Organic Products

Purchasing organic produce 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 damage to our habitat. No or reduced use of pesticides and synthetic fertilisers means less pollution of our land and lakes, reduced health problems for farm workers, and fewer health risks for our babies and children by reducing their contact with toxic chemicals.

Several wholesalers of baby clothes also produce a range of organic clothes or you can find designers entirely dedicated to organic baby fashion. Either way, there are a lot of marks to choose from and all ages are catered for, from infants to teenagers. Obviously, organic clothes 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 buy organic cotton or bamboo clothes (which is a fantastic alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my baby but I am absolutely going try to whenever possible.
