Before I had my first child, I had not imagined I would be part of a mothers group. However, now that I am a mother, talking to other mothers about what is taking place 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 chat about the latest baby fashions we have picked up.

I usually meet with 4 other mothers, once a month, to find out the latest new. We generally meet at Central Hot Dog (which is in TOLEDO, OH) as that is fairly central for all of us. Last month was particularly exciting seeing we discussed organic baby clothing. I have been providing my baby organic food from day one but I had never thought about buying organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most broadly grown plants in the US and one of the most devastating to the environment and to farmers. The run off from these farms has destroyed the environment and especially water supplies. Organic products are made without the need for artificial fertilisers and insecticides. Rather, organic farming depends on things like crop rotation, enhancing soils naturally, and using eco friendly pest control practices.

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

Benefits of Organic Clothing

Getting organic clothes means you are buying produce which have been produced in an environmentally friendly manner, or at the very least in a way which causes less contamination of our habitat. No or less use of herbicides and fertilisers means less pollution of our land and waterways, reduced cancers for farm workers, and fewer health risks for our babies and children by reducing their contact with dangerous chemicals.

Quite a few producers of baby clothes also produce a range of organic clothes or you can find designers completely devoted to organic baby clothing. Either way, there are a lot of designs to choose from and all ages are provided for, from infants to teenagers. Naturally, organic clothing for men and women is also available and I am looking into that for myself and my husband.

I would not go as far to say that I am only ever going to get organic cotton or bamboo cotton clothing (which is a fantastic alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my baby but I am most definitely going try to whenever it is available.
