Before I had my baby, I never really believed I would be part of 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 going on in my life has been a huge help. We discuss how we bring up our children, what to do and not to do, we share baby food recipes, and we love to discuss the newest baby fashions we have bought.

I generally get together with 4 other mothers, once a fortnight, to catch up on the latest gossip. We usually meet at Bin Bin Chinese Buffet (which is in BATH, NY) as that is fairly central for all of us. Last time was particularly interesting as we talked about organic baby clothes. I have been giving my baby organic meals from the beginning but I had never thought about purchasing organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most widely grown products in America and one of the most ruinous to the environment and to farm workers. The run off from cotton farms has ruined ecosystems and particularly water bodies. Organic cotton is grown without using artificial fertilisers and insecticides. Instead, organic farming relies on things like crop rotation, improving soils naturally, and using organic insect control practices.

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

Benefits of Organic Clothing

Getting organic clothing means you are getting produce which have been produced in an environmentally friendly manner, or at the very least in a way which causes less pollution of soils and waterways. No or reduced use of herbicides and fertilisers means less pollution of our soils and lakes, fewer health problems for farm employees, and fewer health risks for our children by lessening their contact with potentially dangerous chemicals.

Quite a few producers of baby clothes also produce a range of organic clothes or you can find shops completely dedicated to organic baby fashion. Anyway, there are a lot of designs to choose from and all ages are catered for, from toddlers to teenagers. Obviously, organic clothes for men and women is also accessible and I am looking into that for myself and my man.

I would not go as far to say that I am just going to get organic cotton or bamboo cotton clothing (which is an excellent alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my child but I am definitely going try to whenever possible.
