Long before I had my children, I had not imagined I would join a mothers group. Anyhow, now that I have become a new mother, being able to talk to other parents about what is happening in my life has really helped me. We chat about how we raise our children, what to do and not to do, we share recipes, and we love to chat about the newest baby clothes we have purchased.

I usually go out with 4 other parents, once a week, to find out the latest happenings. We often meet at Jimmy's (which is in BEVERLY HILLS, CA) as that is pretty central for all of us. Last time was particularly interesting seeing we chatted about organic baby clothes. I have been feeding my baby organic food from the start but it had never crossed my mind to buying organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most broadly grown products in the world and one of the most devastating to the habitat and to farm employees. The run off from cotton farms has destroyed the environment and in particular water ways. Organic produce is grown without using artificial fertilisers and insecticides. Alternatively, organic farming relies on things like crop rotation, raising the quality of soils naturally, and using organic insect control practices.

You can buy beautiful organic baby clothing online from a number of shops. Sckoon has some gorgeous organic baby apparel.

Benefits of Choosing Organic Products

Getting organic produce means you are getting products which have been produced in an eco friendly manner, or at least in a way which causes less damage to soils and waterways. No or less use of pesticides and fertilizers means less pollution of our land and lakes, less diseases for farmers, and fewer health risks for our children by moderating their contact with potentially dangerous chemicals.

Quite a few retailers of baby clothes also produce a range of organic clothing or you can find shops completely committed to organic baby fashion. Anyway, there are a lot of marks to choose from and all ages are catered for, from infants to teenagers. Of course, organic clothes for men and women is also available and I am looking into that for myself and my man.

I would not go as far to say that I am only ever going to get organic cotton or bamboo cotton clothing (which is an excellent alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my children but I am absolutely going try to whenever I can.
