Before I had my first child, I never really believed I would be part of a mothers group. Anyhow, now that I am a mother, chatting to other women 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 recipes, and we like to chat about the most recent baby clothes we have picked up.

I generally meet with 2 other women, once a week, to find out the latest happenings. We usually meet at Stumpy's Deli Style Subs Inc (which is in LITTLETON, CO) as that is fairly central for all of us. Last month was more exciting seeing we talked about organic baby clothing. I have been feeding my baby boy organic produce from day one but I had never thought about buying organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most popular crops in the world and one of the most devastating to the environment and to farm employees. The run off from non-organic cotton farms has damaged the environment and particularly water bodies. Organic products are grown without using artificial fertilisers and chemicals. Rather, organic farming depends upon things like crop rotation, enhancing soils naturally, and using organic insect control practices.

You can buy organic baby clothing online from a number of retailers. Sckoon has some of the cutest organic baby apparel.

Benefits of Organic Baby Clothing

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

Many makers of baby clothes also sell a range of organic clothes or you can find companies completely dedicated to organic baby clothing. Either way, there are a lot of designs to choose from and all ages are catered for, from babies to older children. Obviously, organic clothing for men and women is also accessible and I am looking into that for myself and my husband.

I would not go as far to say that I am just going to buy organic cotton or bamboo clothes (which is a good alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my child but I am absolutely going try to whenever possible.
