Before I had my children, I never really thought I would join a mothers group. However, now that I am finally a mother, being able to talk to other women 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 like to discuss the most recent baby outfits we have picked up.

I more often than not meet with 4 other women, once a month, to hear about the latest new. We often meet at Tumo's Ristorante (which is in SAINT LOUIS, MO) as that is pretty central for all of us. Last week was more interesting seeing we talked about baby clothes. I have been giving my baby boy organic produce from the start but it had never crossed my mind to purchasing organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most popular products in America and one of the most ruinous to the habitat and to farmers. The run off from cotton farms has destroyed the environment and especially water bodies. Organic cotton is produced without using artificial fertilisers and chemicals. Alternatively, organic farming depends on things like crop rotation, raising the quality of soils naturally, and using eco friendly pest control methods.

You can buy organic baby clothing online from a number of stores. Sckoon has some beautiful organic baby clothing.

Benefits of Organic Baby Clothing

Buying organic clothes means you are buying products which have been produced in an eco-friendly manner, or at a minimum in a way which causes less pollution of soils and waterways. No or less use of pesticides and fertilizers means less pollution of our land and rivers, reduced diseases for farm employees, and fewer health risks for our babies and children by lessening their contact with dangerous chemicals.

Quite a few makers of baby clothes also make a range of organic items or you can find companies entirely committed to organic baby fashion. Either way, there are a lot of brands to choose from and all ages are catered for, from toddlers to adolescents. Of course, organic fashion for men and women is also available and I am looking into that for myself and my partner.

I do not think that I am only going to buy organic cotton or bamboo cotton clothing (which is a good alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my children but I am absolutely going try to whenever possible.
