Back before I had my baby, I never imagined I would be part of a mothers group. However, now that I am finally a new mother, talking to other women about what is happening in my life has benefited me immensely. We discuss how we deal with our children, what to do and not to do, we share meal plans, and we love to talk about the newest baby fashions we have picked up.

I usually meet with 2 other women, once a fortnight, to hear about the latest gossip. We usually meet at 21 Choices (which is in PASADENA, CA) as that is fairly central for all of us. Last time was really interesting because we talked about organic baby clothes. I have been providing my baby girl organic produce from day one but I had never thought about buying organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most popular crops in the world and one of the most harmful to the environment and to farm workers. The run off from these farms has damaged ecosystems and particularly water ways. Organic produce is grown without using artificial fertilisers and chemicals. Instead, organic farming depends on things like crop rotation, raising the quality of soils naturally, and using organic insect control methods.

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

Benefits of Organic Baby Clothing

Purchasing organic products means you are getting clothes which have been produced in an eco-friendly manner, or at the very least in a way which causes less contamination of soils and waterways. No or reduced use of insecticides and fertilizers means less pollution of our farms and rivers, reduced cancers for farmers, and fewer health risks for our children by reducing their contact with potentially dangerous chemicals.

Many wholesalers of baby clothes also make a range of organic clothing or you can find companies solely devoted to organic baby clothes. Either way, there are a lot of marks to choose from and all ages are provided for, from toddlers to teenagers. Obviously, organic clothes for men and women is also obtainable and I am looking into that for myself and my man.

I do not think that I am just going to get organic cotton or bamboo clothes (which is a good alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my children but I am most definitely going try to whenever it is available.
