Long before I had my first child, I had not imagined I would belong to a mothers group. Be that as it may, now that I am finally a new mother, chatting to other mothers about what is going on in my life has really helped me. We discuss how we raise our children, what to do and not to do, we share recipes, and we love to chat about the most recent baby clothes we have picked up.

I usually meet with 2 other women, once a month, to hear about the latest new. We generally meet at Sugarmill Restaurant (which is in JACKSONVILLE, FL) as that is fairly central for all of us. Last week was particularly exciting as we discussed organic baby clothing. I have been giving my baby organic produce from the start but I had never thought about getting organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most broadly grown products in the world and one of the most harmful to the environment and to farm employees. The run off from cotton farms has destroyed habitats and especially water ways. Organic cotton is grown without the use of artificial fertilisers and insecticides. Rather, organic farming depends on things like crop rotation, enhancing soils naturally, and using organic insect control practices.

You can buy soft organic cotton baby apparel online from a number of retailers. Sckoon is my favourite for organic baby apparel.

Benefits of Choosing Organic Products

Buying 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 contamination of the environment. No or less use of insecticides and fertilisers means less pollution of our farms and waterways, fewer diseases for farmers, and fewer health risks for our babies and children by moderating their contact with dangerous chemicals.

Quite a few wholesalers of baby clothes also sell a range of organic items or you can find stores completely dedicated to organic baby fashion. Either way, there are a lot of designs to choose from and all ages are catered for, from infants to adolescents. Naturally, organic fashion for men and women is also obtainable 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 clothing (which is a great alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my children but I am most definitely going try to whenever it is available.
