Long before I had my children, I never really thought I would join a mothers group. Be that as it may, now that I am finally a mum, being able to talk to other parents about what is happening in my life has been a huge help. We talk about how we deal with our children, what to do and not to do, we share meal plans, and we enjoy being able to discuss the newest baby outfits we have purchased.

I generally meet with 4 other parents, once a fortnight, to find out the latest new. We usually meet at Byerlys - Bloomington (which is in MINNEAPOLIS, MN) as that is fairly central for all of us. Last month was really eye opening as we discussed baby clothes. I have been providing my baby boy organic produce from the start but it had never crossed my mind to purchasing organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most broadly grown products in the US and one of the most devastating to the environment and to farm workers. The run off from cotton farms has ruined habitats and particularly water ways. Organic produce is grown without the need for artificial fertilisers and pesticides. Alternatively, organic farming depends on things like crop rotation, enhancing soils naturally, and using eco friendly pest control methods.

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

Benefits of Organic Clothing

Getting organic produce means you are buying products which have been produced in an environmentally friendly manner, or at a minimum in a way which causes less contamination of our habitat. No or a reduction in the use of pesticides and fertilizers means less pollution of our land and rivers, less diseases for farm workers, and fewer health risks for our babies and children by lessening their contact with toxic chemicals.

Many makers of baby clothes also sell a range of organic clothes or you can find companies completely dedicated to organic baby clothing. Anyway, there are a lot of designs to choose from and all ages are taken care of, from babies to teenagers. Obviously, organic clothes for men and women is also obtainable and I am looking into that for myself and my partner.

I do not think that I am only ever going to get organic cotton or bamboo clothes (which is an excellent alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my child but I am definitely going try to whenever it is available.
