Back before I had my children, I never imagined I would join a mothers group. Be that as it may, now that I am finally a mother, talking to other mothers about what is going on in my life has benefited me immensely. We discuss how we bring up our children, what to do and not to do, we share baby food recipes, and we love to chat about the latest baby fashions we have picked up.

I usually go out with 2 other women, once a fortnight, to hear about the latest gossip. We generally meet at Thorne's Exxon Food Mart (which is in CONCORD, NH) as that is pretty central for all of us. Last week was really eye opening seeing we talked about baby clothes. I have been giving my baby girl organic meals from day one but it had never crossed my mind to buying organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most widely grown products in the US and one of the most devastating to the habitat and to farmers. The run off from cotton farms has destroyed habitats and particularly water bodies. Organic produce is made without using artificial fertilisers and chemicals. Instead, organic farming depends upon things like crop rotation, enhancing soils naturally, and using eco friendly pest control techniques.

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

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 soils and waterways. No or reduced use of herbicides and fertilisers means less pollution of our soils and lakes, less cancers for farm employees, and fewer health risks for our children by moderating their contact with potentially dangerous chemicals.

Several wholesalers of baby clothes also sell a range of organic clothes or you can find wholesalers entirely devoted to organic baby fashion. Anyway, there are a lot of brands to choose from and all ages are taken care of, from babies to older children. Of course, organic clothing for men and women is also available and I am looking into that for myself and my husband.

I do not think that I am only going to buy organic cotton or bamboo clothing (which is a fantastic alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my baby but I am absolutely going try to whenever possible.
