Long before I had my children, I never thought I would belong to a mothers group. However, now that I am a mother, talking to other mothers about what is taking place in my life has benefited me immensely. We chat about how we deal with our children, what to do and not to do, we share recipes, and we like to discuss the newest baby clothes we have bought.

I more often than not get together with 4 other women, once a month, to find out the latest gossip. We generally meet at Graziano's Pizza & Italian Eatery (which is in DUNBAR, WV) as that is fairly central for all of us. Last week was more exciting because we chatted about organic baby clothes. I have been providing my baby girl organic produce from the beginning but it had never crossed my mind to buying organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most popular crops in the world and one of the most ruinous to the ecosystem and to farm employees. The run off from non-organic cotton farms has destroyed the environment and especially water ways. Organic products are grown without the use of artificial fertilisers and pesticides. Alternatively, organic farming depends on things like crop rotation, enhancing soils naturally, and using organic pest control techniques.

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

Benefits of Choosing Organic Products

Purchasing organic produce means you are getting clothes which have been produced in an eco-friendly manner, or at a minimum in a way which causes less contamination of the environment. No or a reduction in the use of herbicides and fertilisers means less pollution of our farms and lakes, reduced health problems for farm employees, and fewer health risks for children by lessening their contact with potentially dangerous chemicals.

Quite a few wholesalers of baby clothes also make a range of organic items or you can find retailers completely devoted to organic baby fashion. Either way, there are a lot of brands to choose from and all ages are provided for, from babies to adolescents. 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 get organic cotton or bamboo clothes (which is an excellent alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my child but I am definitely going try to whenever it is available.
