Back before I had my children, I never really imagined I would belong to a mothers group. Be that as it may, now that I am a mum, being able to talk to other parents about what is going on in my life has really helped me. We talk about how we raise our children, what to do and not to do, we share meal plans, and we like to discuss the most recent baby fashions we have bought.

I usually meet with 3 other women, once a week, to hear about the latest happenings. We often meet at Trackside Dining Company (which is in LEBANON, IN) as that is quite central for all of us. Last month was really eye opening because we chatted about organic baby clothing. I have been feeding my baby boy organic produce from day one but I had never thought about getting organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most widely grown 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 damaged the environment and in particular water bodies. Organic cotton is made without the need for artificial fertilisers and chemicals. Alternatively, organic farming depends upon things like crop rotation, enhancing soils naturally, and using eco friendly pest control practices.

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

Benefits of Organic Clothing

Purchasing organic clothing means you are purchasing produce which have been produced in an eco-friendly manner, or at the very least in a way which causes less damage to soils and waterways. No or reduced use of pesticides and synthetic fertilisers means less pollution of our farms and waterways, less health problems for farm workers, and fewer health risks for children by lessening their contact with potentially dangerous chemicals.

Quite a few retailers of baby clothes also sell a range of organic clothing or you can find designers solely dedicated to organic baby clothes. Anyway, there are a lot of marks to choose from and all ages are taken care of, from infants to adolescents. Of course, organic clothing for men and women is also available and I am looking into that for myself and my partner.

I do not think that I am just going to buy organic cotton or bamboo clothing (which is a great alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my child but I am most definitely going try to whenever I can.
