Back before I had my baby, I never really believed I would belong to a mothers group. Be that as it may, now that I have become a new mother, chatting to other women about what is going on in my life has benefited me immensely. We talk about how we deal with our children, what to do and not to do, we share baby food recipes, and we enjoy being able to chat about the latest baby clothes we have bought.

I usually get together with 4 other mothers, once a fortnight, to hear about the latest gossip. We often meet at Cathys Place (which is in EAST ORANGE, NJ) as that is pretty central for all of us. Last week was really eye opening because we chatted about organic baby clothes. I have been giving my baby boy organic meals from the start but I had not considered buying organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most popular crops in the US and one of the most ruinous to the environment and to farm workers. The run off from cotton farms has damaged habitats and in particular water bodies. Organic produce is grown without using artificial fertilisers and insecticides. Alternatively, organic farming relies on things like crop rotation, raising the quality of soils naturally, and using organic pest control methods.

You can purchase beautiful organic baby clothes online from a number of shops. Sckoon has some of the cutest organic baby clothes.

Benefits of Organic Clothing

Getting organic clothes means you are purchasing produce which have been produced in an environmentally friendly manner, or at the very least in a way which causes less damage to our habitat. No or less use of herbicides and synthetic fertilisers means less pollution of our farms and rivers, less cancers for farm employees, and fewer health risks for children by reducing their contact with toxic chemicals.

Many wholesalers of baby clothes also produce a range of organic clothing or you can find stores completely devoted to organic baby clothing. Either way, there are a lot of designs to choose from and all ages are taken care of, from babies to older children. Naturally, organic clothing for men and women is also obtainable and I am looking into that for myself and my partner.

I would not go as far to say that I am just going to get organic cotton or bamboo clothing (which is a good alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my child but I am most definitely going try to whenever it is available.
