Before I had my children, I never really believed I would be part of a mothers group. Be that as it may, now that I am finally a mother, chatting to other parents about what is happening 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 baby food recipes, and we love to talk about the most recent baby outfits we have purchased.

I usually meet with 3 other parents, once a week, to catch up on the latest happenings. We often meet at Whiteys Pizza & Pub (which is in MELVERN, KS) as that is quite central for all of us. Last month was particularly eye opening seeing we talked about organic baby clothes. I have been feeding my baby organic food from the start but I had not considered getting organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most popular products 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 ruined habitats and in particular water supplies. Organic products are made without the need for 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 organic baby apparel online from a number of shops. Sckoon has some beautiful organic baby clothes.

Benefits of Organic Clothing

Buying organic clothing means you are getting clothes which have been produced in an eco friendly manner, or at least in a way which causes less damage to our habitat. No or a reduction in the use of insecticides and fertilizers means less pollution of our soils and waterways, fewer cancers for farm employees, and fewer health risks for our babies and children by reducing their contact with dangerous chemicals.

Quite a few wholesalers of baby clothes also make a range of organic clothing or you can find companies entirely committed to organic baby clothing. Thankfully, there are a lot of designs to choose from and all ages are catered for, from babies to adolescents. Naturally, organic clothes for men and women is also available and I am looking into that for myself and my husband.

I am not saying that I am just going to purchase organic cotton or bamboo clothes (which is a great alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my baby but I am definitely going try to whenever it is available.
