Long before I had my first child, I had not imagined I would join a mothers group. Anyhow, now that I am a mother, talking to other women 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 recipes, and we enjoy being able to chat about the most recent baby fashions we have bought.

I usually go out with 3 other women, once a month, to hear about the latest happenings. We generally meet at Imperial Garden (which is in MASON, MI) as that is fairly central for all of us. Last month was really eye opening because we talked about organic baby clothes. I have been feeding my baby organic food from the beginning but I had never thought about buying organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most popular products in the US and one of the most harmful to the environment and to farm workers. The run off from these farms has damaged the environment and especially water supplies. Organic produce is produced without the need for artificial fertilisers and insecticides. Rather, organic farming depends on things like crop rotation, raising the quality of soils naturally, and using organic pest control techniques.

You can get soft organic cotton baby clothes online from a number of shops. Sckoon is my favourite for organic baby clothes.

Benefits of Organic Clothing

Getting organic produce means you are buying produce which have been produced in an eco-friendly manner, or at the very least in a way which causes less damage to the environment. No or a reduction in the use of pesticides and fertilizers means less pollution of our farms and waterways, fewer diseases for farm workers, and fewer health risks for our children by moderating their contact with dangerous chemicals.

A number of wholesalers of baby clothes also make a range of organic clothing or you can find shops solely devoted to organic baby clothes. Anyway, there are a lot of marks to choose from and all ages are catered for, from toddlers to teenagers. Obviously, organic clothes 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 purchase organic cotton or bamboo clothes (which is a fantastic alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my child but I am without a doubt going try to whenever I can.
