Back before I had my baby, I had not believed I would be part of a mothers group. Be that as it may, now that I am finally a new mother, talking to other parents about what is happening in my life has really helped me. We discuss how we deal with our children, what to do and not to do, we share baby food recipes, and we love to talk about the newest baby outfits we have bought.

I more often than not get together with 3 other women, once a month, to find out the latest gossip. We generally meet at Susie Q'S Restaurant (which is in FRIENDSHIP, WI) as that is fairly central for all of us. Last time was particularly interesting seeing we chatted about baby clothes. I have been giving my baby girl organic produce from the start but I had not considered getting organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most widely grown crops in the world and one of the most harmful to the environment and to farm employees. The run off from cotton farms has destroyed ecosystems and especially water supplies. Organic cotton is grown without the use of artificial fertilisers and insecticides. Alternatively, organic farming depends on things like crop rotation, improving soils naturally, and using eco friendly pest control practices.

You can purchase soft organic cotton baby apparel online from a number of stores. Sckoon is my favourite for 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 the very least in a way which causes less damage to our habitat. No or a reduction in the use of insecticides and synthetic fertilisers means less pollution of our farms and lakes, less cancers for farmers, and fewer health risks for our babies and children by moderating their contact with dangerous chemicals.

Many producers of baby clothes also make a range of organic clothing or you can find designers completely committed to organic baby clothing. Thankfully, there are a lot of marks to choose from and all ages are provided for, from babies to older children. Naturally, organic clothing for men and women is also accessible and I am looking into that for myself and my partner.

I do not think that I am only ever going to get organic cotton or bamboo clothes (which is a great alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my child but I am absolutely going try to whenever possible.
