Back before I had my first child, I never imagined I would join a mothers group. Anyhow, now that I have become a mother, being able to talk to other mothers about what is happening in my life has benefited me immensely. We chat about how we raise our children, what to do and not to do, we share recipes, and we enjoy being able to talk about the newest baby fashions we have picked up.

I usually go out with 3 other mothers, once a week, to catch up on the latest new. We often meet at Sign of the Dove (which is in BUENA VISTA, GA) as that is pretty central for all of us. Last time was more exciting seeing we discussed organic baby clothing. I have been feeding my baby boy organic meals from the start but I had not considered purchasing organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most popular products in America and one of the most devastating to the environment and to farm workers. The run off from these farms has destroyed ecosystems and in particular water ways. Organic produce is grown without the need for artificial fertilisers and insecticides. Alternatively, organic farming depends on things like crop rotation, enhancing soils naturally, and using organic pest control methods.

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

Benefits of Organic Baby Clothing

Buying organic products means you are getting produce which have been produced in an eco-friendly manner, or at least in a way which causes less pollution of the environment. No or a reduction in the use of insecticides and synthetic fertilisers means less pollution of our farms and rivers, fewer health problems for farm employees, and fewer health risks for children by reducing their contact with toxic chemicals.

Quite a few producers of baby clothes also make a range of organic clothes or you can find stores entirely committed to organic baby clothes. Thankfully, there are a lot of designs to choose from and all ages are provided for, from toddlers to adolescents. Of course, organic clothes for men and women is also available and I am looking into that for myself and my partner.

I do not think that I am just going to get organic cotton or bamboo clothes (which is an amazing alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my child but I am definitely going try to whenever it is available.
