Before I had my children, I had not believed I would belong to a mothers group. Anyhow, now that I am finally 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 deal with our children, what to do and not to do, we share meal plans, and we enjoy being able to talk about the most recent baby clothes we have bought.

I usually meet with 4 other parents, once a month, to find out the latest new. We generally meet at Roadhouse Food & Spirit (which is in TAWAS CITY, MI) as that is pretty central for all of us. Last week was really interesting seeing we discussed organic baby clothing. I have been providing my baby boy organic meals from the start but I had not considered getting organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most popular plants in the world and one of the most ruinous to the habitat and to farm workers. The run off from non-organic cotton farms has damaged habitats and particularly water bodies. Organic produce is made without using artificial fertilisers and insecticides. Rather, organic farming depends on things like crop rotation, improving soils naturally, and using organic insect control techniques.

You can buy soft organic cotton baby apparel online from a number of retailers. Sckoon is my favourite for organic baby clothes.

Benefits of Organic Clothing

Buying organic produce means you are buying products which have been produced in an environmentally friendly manner, or at the very least in a way which causes less pollution of our habitat. No or less use of insecticides and fertilizers means less pollution of our land and waterways, fewer cancers for farm employees, and fewer health risks for our children by moderating their contact with potentially dangerous chemicals.

Many makers of baby clothes also produce a range of organic clothes or you can find shops solely dedicated to organic baby fashion. Thankfully, there are a lot of brands to choose from and all ages are taken care of, from babies to adolescents. Of course, organic clothing 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 just going to get organic cotton or bamboo clothing (which is an amazing alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my child but I am most definitely going try to whenever it is available.
