Back before I had my first child, I had not thought I would be part of a mothers group. Anyhow, now that I am a mother, talking to other women about what is happening 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 enjoy being able to chat about the most recent baby outfits we have purchased.

I usually go out with 4 other women, once a month, to hear about the latest new. We generally meet at Gabriella Pizza (which is in BROOKLYN, NY) as that is pretty central for all of us. Last week was more interesting seeing we chatted about organic baby clothing. I have been feeding my baby girl organic food from the start but I had not considered purchasing organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most widely grown crops in America and one of the most devastating to the ecosystem and to farmers. The run off from non-organic cotton farms has destroyed habitats and especially water supplies. Organic products are made without using artificial fertilisers and insecticides. Instead, organic farming depends upon things like crop rotation, enhancing soils naturally, and using organic pest control practices.

You can buy soft organic cotton baby clothing online from a number of stores. Sckoon has some beautiful organic baby apparel.

Benefits of Organic Clothing

Buying organic clothing means you are buying clothes which have been produced in an environmentally friendly manner, or at a minimum in a way which causes less contamination of our habitat. No or less use of pesticides and synthetic fertilisers means less pollution of our soils and lakes, less diseases for farmers, and fewer health risks for our babies and children by lessening their contact with toxic chemicals.

Many producers of baby clothes also sell a range of organic clothing or you can find stores solely dedicated to organic baby fashion. Either way, there are a lot of brands to choose from and all ages are taken care of, from babies to adolescents. Of course, organic fashion for men and women is also obtainable and I am looking into that for myself and my man.

I do not think that I am just going to purchase organic cotton or bamboo clothes (which is a great alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my children but I am without a doubt going try to whenever I can.
