Back before I had my first child, I never really imagined I would join a mothers group. Be that as it may, now that I have become a new mother, talking to other women about what is happening in my life has been a huge help. We discuss how we bring up our children, what to do and not to do, we share recipes, and we love to talk about the latest baby fashions we have picked up.

I generally meet with 4 other mothers, once a fortnight, to catch up on the latest happenings. We generally meet at Panera Bread CO (which is in LANCASTER, PA) as that is quite central for all of us. Last time was really eye opening seeing we chatted about baby clothes. I have been giving my baby organic produce from day one but it had never crossed my mind to buying organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most popular crops in the world and one of the most harmful to the ecosystem and to farm employees. The run off from non-organic cotton farms has ruined ecosystems and particularly water bodies. Organic cotton is grown without the need for artificial fertilisers and insecticides. Instead, organic farming depends upon things like crop rotation, enhancing soils naturally, and using eco friendly pest control methods.

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

Benefits of Organic Clothing

Buying organic clothing means you are getting produce which have been produced in an eco-friendly manner, or at the very least in a way which causes less pollution of our habitat. No or reduced use of insecticides and fertilisers means less pollution of our soils and lakes, reduced health problems for farm employees, and fewer health risks for our children by lessening their contact with dangerous chemicals.

Several makers of baby clothes also make a range of organic items or you can find retailers entirely committed to organic baby fashion. Thankfully, there are a lot of marks to choose from and all ages are catered for, from babies to teenagers. Obviously, organic clothing for men and women is also accessible 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 a good alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my children but I am definitely going try to whenever possible.
