Before I had my first child, I had not believed I would join a mothers group. Anyhow, now that I am a mother, being able to talk to other mothers about what is taking place in my life has been a huge help. We chat 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 discuss the newest baby clothes we have picked up.

I usually get together with 3 other mothers, once a week, to catch up on the latest happenings. We usually meet at CHGO Pizza Authority (which is in ELGIN, IL) as that is pretty central for all of us. Last month was particularly eye opening seeing we talked about organic baby clothing. I have been feeding my baby girl organic food from the beginning but I had never thought about purchasing organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most popular products in America and one of the most ruinous to the habitat and to farmers. The run off from these farms has ruined ecosystems and in particular water supplies. Organic cotton is grown without the use of artificial fertilisers and insecticides. Rather, organic farming relies on things like crop rotation, raising the quality of soils naturally, and using eco friendly pest control methods.

You can purchase organic cotton baby outfits online from a number of retailers. Sckoon has some of the cutest organic baby apparel.

Benefits of Choosing Organic Products

Buying organic produce means you are buying products which have been produced in an eco-friendly manner, or at a minimum in a way which causes less pollution of our habitat. No or less use of insecticides and fertilizers means less pollution of our farms and lakes, reduced health problems for farmers, and fewer health risks for our babies and children by reducing their contact with toxic chemicals.

Quite a few producers of baby clothes also sell a range of organic clothing or you can find stores completely committed to organic baby clothing. Anyway, there are a lot of brands to choose from and all ages are catered for, from toddlers to teenagers. Of course, organic fashion for men and women is also obtainable and I am looking into that for myself and my man.

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