Long before I had my children, I had not thought I would join a mothers group. Be that as it may, now that I have become a mother, talking to other parents about what is happening in my life has been a huge help. We talk about how we raise 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 usually go out with 3 other mothers, once a month, to find out the latest happenings. We usually meet at Friendly's Restaurant (which is in SOUTH BURLINGTON, VT) as that is fairly central for all of us. Last week was more interesting as we chatted about baby clothes. I have been providing my baby girl organic meals from the start but I had not considered buying organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most widely grown crops in America and one of the most devastating to the ecosystem and to farm workers. The run off from these farms has destroyed ecosystems and in particular water supplies. Organic cotton is grown without the use of artificial fertilisers and insecticides. Rather, organic farming depends on things like crop rotation, improving soils naturally, and using organic insect control practices.

You can buy beautiful organic baby apparel online from a number of retailers. Sckoon has some of the cutest organic baby clothes.

Benefits of Organic Baby Clothing

Buying organic clothing means you are purchasing produce which have been produced in an environmentally friendly manner, or at a minimum in a way which causes less contamination of our habitat. No or a reduction in the use of herbicides and synthetic fertilisers means less pollution of our land and lakes, fewer diseases for farmers, and fewer health risks for our children by moderating their contact with dangerous chemicals.

Many producers of baby clothes also produce a range of organic clothing or you can find shops solely devoted to organic baby clothes. Thankfully, there are a lot of marks to choose from and all ages are provided for, from babies to teenagers. Obviously, organic clothes for men and women is also accessible and I am looking into that for myself and my partner.

I am not saying that I am just going to buy organic cotton or bamboo clothing (which is an excellent alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my child but I am without a doubt going try to whenever I can.
