Organic Baby Clothes NEW YORK
Filed Under (Organic Baby Clothes) by Kaye on 01-07-2009
Before I had my first child, I never really imagined I would join a mothers group. However, now that I am finally a mother, talking to other mothers about what is happening in my life has really helped me. We chat about how we bring up our children, what to do and not to do, we share recipes, and we like to talk about the latest baby fashions we have purchased.
I usually meet with 4 other mothers, once a month, to hear about the latest happenings. We generally meet at Alaska Food Market (which is in NEW YORK, NY) as that is quite central for all of us. Last month was more eye opening because we chatted about organic baby clothes. I have been feeding my baby organic produce from the start but it had never crossed my mind to buying organic clothing for her.
Cotton is one of the most popular plants in the US and one of the most devastating to the habitat and to farmers. The run off from non-organic cotton farms has damaged ecosystems and particularly water ways. Organic cotton is made without the use of artificial fertilisers and pesticides. Instead, organic farming depends upon things like crop rotation, enhancing soils naturally, and using organic pest control techniques.
You can buy beautiful organic baby outfits online from a number of stores. Sckoon has some gorgeous organic baby clothing.

Benefits of Organic Baby Clothing
Buying organic produce means you are buying products which have been produced in an eco-friendly manner, or at the very least in a way which causes less damage to soils and waterways. No or a reduction in the use of pesticides and synthetic fertilisers means less pollution of our land and waterways, fewer cancers for farmers, and fewer health risks for our babies and children by moderating their contact with potentially dangerous chemicals.
Several producers of baby clothes also sell a range of organic clothing or you can find stores completely committed to organic baby clothing. Anyway, there are a lot of designs to choose from and all ages are provided for, from babies to older children. Of course, organic clothing for men and women is also available 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 cotton clothing (which is a fantastic alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my child but I am definitely going try to whenever possible.
