Long before I had my first child, I never really believed I would belong to a mothers group. Anyhow, now that I have become a mother, being able to talk to other mothers about what is taking place in my life has benefited me immensely. We talk about how we raise our children, what to do and not to do, we share recipes, and we love to discuss the newest baby fashions we have bought.

I usually get together with 4 other parents, once a fortnight, to find out the latest gossip. We often meet at Norris Paralegal Services (which is in JOLIET, IL) as that is fairly central for all of us. Last month was particularly interesting as we talked about organic baby clothing. I have been providing my baby boy organic food from the beginning but I had never thought about buying organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most widely grown products in America and one of the most devastating to the ecosystem and to farmers. The run off from these farms has damaged habitats and especially water ways. Organic produce is grown without the use of artificial fertilisers and insecticides. Instead, organic farming depends on things like crop rotation, enhancing soils naturally, and using organic pest control techniques.

You can purchase beautiful organic baby outfits online from a number of shops. Sckoon is my favourite for organic baby clothes.

Benefits of Organic Clothing

Buying organic produce means you are purchasing clothes which have been produced in an environmentally friendly manner, or at the very least in a way which causes less contamination of our habitat. No or a reduction in the use of herbicides and fertilisers means less pollution of our land and waterways, fewer health problems for farm employees, and fewer health risks for our babies and children by reducing their contact with dangerous chemicals.

Several wholesalers of baby clothes also make a range of organic clothes or you can find shops solely committed to organic baby clothes. Thankfully, there are a lot of designs to choose from and all ages are taken care of, from babies to adolescents. Obviously, organic fashion for men and women is also accessible and I am looking into that for myself and my partner.

I would not go as far to say that I am just going to get organic cotton or bamboo clothes (which is a great alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my baby but I am definitely going try to whenever I can.
