Long before I had my baby, I never imagined I would belong to a mothers group. However, now that I am finally a mum, chatting to other parents about what is happening in my life has really helped me. We talk about how we deal with our children, what to do and not to do, we share baby food recipes, and we love to chat about the newest baby outfits we have picked up.

I generally meet with 3 other mothers, once a fortnight, to catch up on the latest happenings. We generally meet at Two Senorita's Restaurant (which is in CANTON, TX) as that is fairly central for all of us. Last week was more eye opening as we discussed organic baby clothing. I have been giving my baby organic produce from the start but I had never thought about getting organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most broadly grown crops in the US and one of the most ruinous to the environment and to farmers. The run off from non-organic cotton farms has destroyed habitats and especially water bodies. Organic produce is grown without the need for artificial fertilisers and insecticides. Alternatively, organic farming depends upon things like crop rotation, enhancing soils naturally, and using eco friendly pest control practices.

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

Benefits of Organic Clothing

Getting organic produce means you are buying 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 a reduction in the use of pesticides and fertilizers means less pollution of our land and waterways, reduced diseases for farm employees, and fewer health risks for our babies and children by lessening their contact with toxic chemicals.

Many wholesalers of baby clothes also make a range of organic clothing or you can find wholesalers solely devoted to organic baby clothes. Anyway, there are a lot of designs to choose from and all ages are provided for, from infants to older children. Obviously, organic clothes for men and women is also accessible and I am looking into that for myself and my partner.

I do not think that I am only going to get organic cotton or bamboo cotton clothing (which is a good alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my children but I am most definitely going try to whenever I can.
