Before I had my children, I never really believed I would be part of a mothers group. However, now that I am a mother, chatting to other mothers about what is going on in my life has really helped me. We talk about how we raise our children, what to do and not to do, we share meal plans, and we enjoy being able to discuss the latest baby fashions we have bought.

I more often than not go out with 4 other parents, once a week, to hear about the latest new. We often meet at Schnitzelbank Restaurant (which is in GRAND RAPIDS, MI) as that is fairly central for all of us. Last time was more eye opening as we discussed organic baby clothes. I have been providing my baby organic produce from day one but I had not considered getting organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most popular crops in America and one of the most devastating to the ecosystem and to farm workers. The run off from these farms has ruined the environment and in particular water bodies. Organic products are made without the need for artificial fertilisers and pesticides. Alternatively, organic farming depends on things like crop rotation, improving soils naturally, and using organic pest control techniques.

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

Benefits of Choosing Organic Products

Buying organic clothing means you are purchasing produce which have been produced in an eco friendly manner, or at a minimum in a way which causes less pollution of the environment. No or a reduction in the use of insecticides and fertilizers means less pollution of our soils and rivers, reduced diseases for farm employees, and fewer health risks for children by moderating their contact with dangerous chemicals.

Quite a few wholesalers of baby clothes also sell a range of organic clothes or you can find stores solely devoted to organic baby fashion. Either way, there are a lot of marks to choose from and all ages are catered for, from babies to older children. Obviously, organic clothes for men and women is also available and I am looking into that for myself and my partner.

I am not saying that I am just going to buy organic cotton or bamboo clothing (which is an excellent alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my child but I am absolutely going try to whenever it is available.
