Before I had my first child, I never thought I would join a mothers group. However, now that I am a mother, chatting to other women about what is taking place in my life has been a huge help. We talk about how we bring up our children, what to do and not to do, we share recipes, and we like to talk about the most recent baby clothes we have purchased.

I generally meet with 2 other parents, once a fortnight, to hear about the latest happenings. We usually meet at Queens Seafood (which is in ATLANTA, GA) as that is quite central for all of us. Last month was particularly eye opening because we discussed organic baby clothing. I have been giving my baby girl organic meals from the beginning but it had never crossed my mind to purchasing organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most widely grown plants in the world and one of the most ruinous to the habitat and to farm employees. The run off from these farms has damaged the environment and particularly water bodies. Organic products are produced without using artificial fertilisers and chemicals. Alternatively, organic farming depends upon things like crop rotation, raising the quality of soils naturally, and using organic pest control practices.

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

Benefits of Choosing Organic Products

Purchasing organic produce means you are buying produce which have been produced in an eco-friendly manner, or at a minimum in a way which causes less damage to the environment. No or reduced use of pesticides and fertilisers means less pollution of our soils and lakes, less health problems for farm workers, and fewer health risks for our babies and children by lessening their contact with dangerous chemicals.

Several producers of baby clothes also make a range of organic items or you can find companies entirely devoted to organic baby fashion. Either way, there are a lot of marks to choose from and all ages are taken care of, from infants to adolescents. Of course, organic fashion 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 ever going to purchase organic cotton or bamboo clothes (which is an amazing alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my children but I am definitely going try to whenever it is available.
