Long before I had my baby, I had not thought I would join a mothers group. Be that as it may, now that I am a mother, talking to other parents about what is taking place in my life has been a huge help. We chat about how we bring up our children, what to do and not to do, we share meal plans, and we enjoy being able to talk about the most recent baby outfits we have purchased.

I usually get together with 2 other parents, once a month, to find out the latest happenings. We often meet at Super Food Mart 16 (which is in FLINT, TX) as that is pretty central for all of us. Last time was particularly exciting seeing we discussed organic baby clothes. I have been providing my baby girl organic food 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 ruinous to the environment and to farm workers. The run off from cotton farms has ruined ecosystems and in particular water ways. Organic produce is made without the need for artificial fertilisers and pesticides. Instead, organic farming relies on things like crop rotation, improving soils naturally, and using organic pest control techniques.

You can purchase organic cotton baby clothes online from a number of shops. Sckoon has some gorgeous organic baby clothing.

Benefits of Choosing Organic Products

Purchasing organic products 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 pesticides and fertilizers means less pollution of our soils and rivers, fewer health problems for farmers, and fewer health risks for children by reducing their contact with potentially dangerous chemicals.

Many wholesalers of baby clothes also make a range of organic clothes or you can find stores completely dedicated to organic baby clothing. Either way, there are a lot of marks to choose from and all ages are provided for, from infants to adolescents. Naturally, organic clothing for men and women is also available and I am looking into that for myself and my husband.

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