Back before I had my baby, I never really believed I would join a mothers group. However, now that I am finally a mother, chatting to other parents 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 meal plans, and we love to chat about the most recent baby clothes we have picked up.

I more often than not meet with 3 other women, once a month, to hear about the latest gossip. We usually meet at Cedars (which is in JONESVILLE, MI) as that is pretty central for all of us. Last month was particularly exciting as we chatted about organic baby clothes. I have been feeding my baby girl organic meals from the beginning but I had not considered purchasing organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most popular crops in America and one of the most harmful to the habitat and to farm workers. The run off from non-organic cotton farms has destroyed the environment and particularly water ways. Organic produce is grown without the use of artificial fertilisers and insecticides. Instead, organic farming depends upon things like crop rotation, enhancing soils naturally, and using eco friendly pest control techniques.

You can get soft organic cotton baby clothes online from a number of stores. Sckoon has some gorgeous organic baby clothing.

Benefits of Organic Baby Clothing

Purchasing organic clothing means you are buying products which have been produced in an environmentally friendly manner, or at the very least in a way which causes less contamination of soils and waterways. No or reduced use of herbicides and synthetic fertilisers means less pollution of our land and rivers, fewer diseases for farm employees, and fewer health risks for our children by reducing their contact with toxic chemicals.

A number of makers of baby clothes also sell a range of organic clothing or you can find companies solely dedicated to organic baby clothes. Anyway, there are a lot of designs to choose from and all ages are taken care of, from toddlers to older children. Of course, organic fashion for men and women is also available 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 purchase organic cotton or bamboo clothing (which is a great alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my children but I am definitely going try to whenever possible.
