Back before I had my children, I never really believed I would be part of a mothers group. However, now that I have become a mother, being able to talk to other mothers about what is going on 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 love to discuss the most recent baby outfits we have bought.

I more often than not meet with 3 other parents, once a month, to find out the latest happenings. We generally meet at A & G Family Restaurant (which is in SWARTHMORE, PA) as that is pretty central for all of us. Last month was really eye opening as we chatted about baby clothes. I have been providing my baby organic produce from the start but I had not considered buying organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most popular crops in the US and one of the most ruinous to the ecosystem and to farm employees. The run off from these farms has destroyed the environment and particularly water supplies. Organic products are made without the need for artificial fertilisers and chemicals. Instead, organic farming depends on things like crop rotation, improving soils naturally, and using eco friendly pest control methods.

You can get organic cotton baby clothes online from a number of shops. Sckoon has some gorgeous organic baby apparel.

Benefits of Organic Clothing

Purchasing organic clothes means you are getting products which have been produced in an eco-friendly manner, or at least in a way which causes less contamination of our habitat. No or reduced use of herbicides and synthetic fertilisers means less pollution of our soils and rivers, reduced health problems for farm workers, and fewer health risks for children by moderating their contact with toxic chemicals.

Quite a few wholesalers of baby clothes also sell a range of organic items or you can find shops solely dedicated to organic baby clothing. Anyway, there are a lot of marks to choose from and all ages are catered for, from infants to older children. Naturally, organic clothes for men and women is also obtainable and I am looking into that for myself and my man.

I do not think that I am only ever going to purchase organic cotton or bamboo clothing (which is an amazing alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my child but I am without a doubt going try to whenever I can.
