Before I had my first child, I had not thought I would be part of a mothers group. However, now that I am finally a mum, talking to other women about what is going on in my life has been a huge help. We discuss how we deal with our children, what to do and not to do, we share recipes, and we like to chat about the newest baby outfits we have picked up.

I generally go out with 3 other women, once a week, to hear about the latest new. We usually meet at Blackbeard's Deli (which is in INDIAN ROCKS BEACH, FL) as that is quite central for all of us. Last week was really exciting because we discussed organic baby clothes. I have been feeding my baby girl organic food from the start but I had not considered getting organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most broadly grown plants in America and one of the most harmful to the habitat and to farm workers. The run off from these farms has damaged ecosystems and in particular water bodies. Organic produce is produced without the need for artificial fertilisers and insecticides. Alternatively, organic farming relies on things like crop rotation, improving soils naturally, and using eco friendly pest control techniques.

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

Benefits of Organic Baby Clothing

Getting organic clothing means you are buying produce which have been produced in an eco-friendly manner, or at least in a way which causes less contamination of soils and waterways. No or reduced use of pesticides and fertilisers means less pollution of our soils and waterways, less cancers for farmers, and fewer health risks for children by reducing their contact with dangerous chemicals.

Many makers of baby clothes also produce a range of organic clothing or you can find shops completely committed to organic baby fashion. Anyway, there are a lot of marks to choose from and all ages are taken care of, from babies to adolescents. Naturally, organic clothing for men and women is also accessible and I am looking into that for myself and my husband.

I would not go as far to say that I am only ever going to buy organic cotton or bamboo clothing (which is an amazing alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my children but I am definitely going try to whenever I can.
