Long before I had my first child, I never really imagined I would belong to a mothers group. Anyhow, now that I am finally a mother, talking to other women about what is taking place in my life has really helped me. We chat about how we bring up our children, what to do and not to do, we share meal plans, and we like to talk about the most recent baby clothes we have purchased.

I more often than not go out with 2 other mothers, once a week, to find out the latest gossip. We usually meet at Callahans (which is in EAST MEADOW, NY) as that is quite central for all of us. Last week was particularly interesting seeing we discussed organic baby clothing. I have been providing my baby organic produce from day one but I had never thought about getting organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most popular products in America and one of the most ruinous to the ecosystem and to farm workers. The run off from these farms has destroyed the environment and especially water ways. Organic products are grown without the need for artificial fertilisers and pesticides. Alternatively, organic farming relies on things like crop rotation, improving soils naturally, and using eco friendly pest control methods.

You can get organic cotton baby clothes online from a number of shops. Sckoon has some beautiful organic baby apparel.

Benefits of Choosing Organic Products

Buying organic products means you are getting products which have been produced in an eco-friendly manner, or at the very least in a way which causes less damage to the environment. No or less use of insecticides and fertilisers means less pollution of our land and waterways, less cancers for farmers, and fewer health risks for children by reducing their contact with dangerous chemicals.

Many retailers of baby clothes also sell a range of organic clothes or you can find companies entirely committed to organic baby clothing. Thankfully, there are a lot of designs to choose from and all ages are provided for, from toddlers to adolescents. Naturally, 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 only going to purchase organic cotton or bamboo cotton clothing (which is an amazing alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my child but I am absolutely going try to whenever it is available.
