Long before I had my baby, I had not believed I would join a mothers group. Be that as it may, now that I have become a mother, being able to talk to other women about what is happening in my life has really helped me. We talk about how we deal with our children, what to do and not to do, we share meal plans, and we like to discuss the newest baby outfits we have bought.

I generally get together with 4 other women, once a fortnight, to hear about the latest new. We often meet at Mumford's Potato Chip & Deli (which is in URBANA, OH) as that is fairly central for all of us. Last week was particularly eye opening seeing we chatted about organic baby clothes. I have been giving my baby organic meals from the start but it had never crossed my mind to buying organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most popular plants in America and one of the most ruinous to the environment and to farm employees. The run off from these farms has damaged the environment and in particular water supplies. Organic cotton is grown without the use of artificial fertilisers and chemicals. Alternatively, organic farming relies on things like crop rotation, raising the quality of soils naturally, and using eco friendly pest control methods.

You can buy organic baby outfits online from a number of stores. Sckoon is my favourite for organic baby apparel.

Benefits of Organic Baby Clothing

Buying organic clothes means you are buying produce which have been produced in an eco-friendly manner, or at least in a way which causes less damage to the environment. No or reduced use of pesticides and fertilizers means less pollution of our soils and waterways, less health problems for farmers, and fewer health risks for our babies and children by reducing their contact with toxic chemicals.

Quite a few retailers of baby clothes also produce a range of organic items or you can find wholesalers completely committed to organic baby fashion. Anyway, there are a lot of designs to choose from and all ages are provided for, from toddlers to teenagers. Of course, organic clothes for men and women is also obtainable and I am looking into that for myself and my husband.

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