Before I had my baby, I never really thought I would join a mothers group. Anyhow, now that I am finally a new mother, being able to talk to other women about what is happening in my life has benefited me immensely. We discuss how we raise our children, what to do and not to do, we share meal plans, and we enjoy being able to discuss the most recent baby outfits we have purchased.

I generally go out with 4 other mothers, once a week, to catch up on the latest gossip. We usually meet at Adolfo's Italian Hotdogs (which is in ROSELLE, NJ) as that is quite central for all of us. Last time was particularly interesting as we chatted about organic baby clothing. I have been providing my baby organic food from the start but I had not considered purchasing organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most widely grown plants in the US and one of the most devastating to the ecosystem and to farm workers. The run off from non-organic cotton farms has ruined the environment and particularly water ways. Organic products are grown without using artificial fertilisers and pesticides. Rather, organic farming relies on things like crop rotation, enhancing soils naturally, and using organic pest control techniques.

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

Benefits of Organic Clothing

Getting organic clothing 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 our habitat. No or a reduction in the use of pesticides and synthetic fertilisers means less pollution of our land and waterways, fewer diseases for farm employees, and fewer health risks for children by reducing their contact with potentially dangerous chemicals.

Several wholesalers of baby clothes also produce a range of organic clothes or you can find retailers entirely committed to organic baby clothes. Either way, there are a lot of marks to choose from and all ages are taken care of, from babies to teenagers. Obviously, organic clothing for men and women is also available and I am looking into that for myself and my man.

I am not saying that I am just going to get organic cotton or bamboo clothing (which is a great alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my children but I am definitely going try to whenever I can.
