Long before I had my first child, I never imagined I would belong to a mothers group. Be that as it may, now that I am finally a mum, being able to talk to other parents about what is happening in my life has benefited me immensely. We chat about how we bring up our children, what to do and not to do, we share meal plans, and we love to discuss the newest baby clothes we have bought.

I generally get together with 3 other women, once a fortnight, to find out the latest gossip. We usually meet at Country Store & Deli (which is in WESTPORT, CT) as that is fairly central for all of us. Last month was really exciting because we talked about organic baby clothes. I have been giving my baby girl organic produce from the start but it had never crossed my mind to purchasing organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most widely grown plants in America and one of the most ruinous to the ecosystem and to farm employees. The run off from these farms has ruined habitats and in particular water bodies. Organic products are produced without the need for artificial fertilisers and insecticides. Alternatively, organic farming relies on things like crop rotation, raising the quality of soils naturally, and using organic pest control practices.

You can purchase beautiful organic baby clothes online from a number of shops. Sckoon has some beautiful organic baby apparel.

Benefits of Organic Baby Clothing

Getting organic products means you are purchasing clothes which have been produced in an environmentally friendly manner, or at least in a way which causes less damage to soils and waterways. No or a reduction in the use of pesticides and synthetic fertilisers means less pollution of our farms and lakes, fewer diseases for farm employees, and fewer health risks for our children by moderating their contact with toxic chemicals.

Many producers of baby clothes also make a range of organic items or you can find companies solely dedicated to organic baby fashion. Thankfully, there are a lot of marks to choose from and all ages are catered for, from babies to teenagers. Of course, organic clothing for men and women is also obtainable and I am looking into that for myself and my partner.

I do not think that I am only going to purchase organic cotton or bamboo clothes (which is an amazing alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my baby but I am absolutely going try to whenever I can.
