Long before I had my first child, I had not thought I would belong to a mothers group. However, now that I am finally a mum, chatting to other women about what is taking place in my life has really helped me. We chat 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 newest baby clothes we have bought.

I more often than not meet with 3 other women, once a fortnight, to hear about the latest gossip. We often meet at Subs On the Run (which is in OAKTON, VA) as that is fairly central for all of us. Last time was particularly interesting because we talked about organic baby clothing. I have been feeding my baby boy organic food from the start but I had never thought about getting organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most popular plants in the US and one of the most ruinous to the habitat and to farm employees. The run off from non-organic cotton farms has ruined habitats and especially water bodies. Organic cotton is made without using artificial fertilisers and insecticides. Rather, organic farming depends on things like crop rotation, enhancing soils naturally, and using eco friendly pest control techniques.

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

Benefits of Organic Baby Clothing

Getting organic clothing means you are purchasing produce which have been produced in an eco-friendly manner, or at least in a way which causes less pollution of soils and waterways. No or reduced use of pesticides and synthetic fertilisers means less pollution of our farms and waterways, reduced diseases for farmers, and fewer health risks for our children by moderating their contact with toxic chemicals.

Quite a few wholesalers of baby clothes also make a range of organic clothes or you can find stores entirely dedicated to organic baby clothes. Anyway, there are a lot of marks to choose from and all ages are provided for, from toddlers to older children. Naturally, organic clothes for men and women is also obtainable and I am looking into that for myself and my husband.

I do not think that I am only ever going to purchase organic cotton or bamboo cotton clothing (which is an amazing alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my baby but I am absolutely going try to whenever it is available.
