Back before I had my children, I had not thought I would be part of a mothers group. Be that as it may, now that I am a new mother, being able to talk to other parents about what is happening in my life has benefited me immensely. We chat about how we raise our children, what to do and not to do, we share meal plans, and we love to chat about the most recent baby fashions we have purchased.

I more often than not meet with 3 other women, once a fortnight, to catch up on the latest happenings. We usually meet at Chicago Dairy and Deli (which is in WARREN, MI) as that is quite central for all of us. Last month was particularly interesting because we talked about organic baby clothes. I have been providing my baby boy organic produce from the start but I had not considered getting organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most widely grown plants in the US and one of the most ruinous to the ecosystem and to farm employees. The run off from these farms has ruined the environment and in particular water supplies. Organic cotton is produced without the need for artificial fertilisers and insecticides. Alternatively, organic farming depends on things like crop rotation, improving soils naturally, and using organic pest control techniques.

You can buy beautiful organic baby clothing online from a number of shops. Sckoon is my favourite for organic baby clothing.

Benefits of Choosing Organic Products

Getting organic produce means you are purchasing produce which have been produced in an eco friendly manner, or at least in a way which causes less pollution of the environment. No or reduced use of herbicides and fertilizers means less pollution of our soils and waterways, reduced health problems for farm employees, and fewer health risks for our babies and children by reducing their contact with toxic chemicals.

Several producers of baby clothes also make a range of organic items or you can find stores solely committed to organic baby clothing. Anyway, there are a lot of brands to choose from and all ages are provided for, from infants to adolescents. Of course, organic clothing for men and women is also available and I am looking into that for myself and my husband.

I do not think that I am just going to get organic cotton or bamboo clothes (which is an excellent alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my child but I am definitely going try to whenever possible.
