Long before I had my children, I never really believed I would join a mothers group. Anyhow, now that I have become a mother, chatting to other parents about what is taking place in my life has really helped me. We talk about how we bring up our children, what to do and not to do, we share recipes, and we enjoy being able to discuss the newest baby outfits we have bought.

I more often than not meet with 2 other parents, once a fortnight, to catch up on the latest gossip. We generally meet at Western Steer Steak Buffet & Bakery (which is in LONDON, KY) as that is quite central for all of us. Last week was particularly interesting as we chatted about baby clothes. I have been giving my baby girl organic produce from day one but I had not considered buying organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most broadly grown crops in America and one of the most ruinous to the habitat and to farm employees. The run off from these farms has ruined habitats and especially water supplies. Organic cotton is made without the use of artificial fertilisers and chemicals. Rather, organic farming relies on things like crop rotation, raising the quality of soils naturally, and using organic insect control practices.

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

Benefits of Organic Clothing

Purchasing organic produce means you are buying produce which have been produced in an environmentally friendly manner, or at a minimum in a way which causes less damage to soils and waterways. No or less use of herbicides and synthetic fertilisers means less pollution of our farms and waterways, reduced cancers for farm workers, and fewer health risks for our babies and children by reducing their contact with dangerous chemicals.

A number of retailers of baby clothes also sell a range of organic clothes or you can find shops completely devoted to organic baby fashion. Thankfully, there are a lot of marks to choose from and all ages are taken care of, from toddlers to teenagers. Obviously, organic clothes for men and women is also available and I am looking into that for myself and my partner.

I am not saying that I am only going to purchase organic cotton or bamboo clothes (which is an amazing alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my children but I am definitely going try to whenever it is available.
