Back before I had my first child, I had not thought I would join a mothers group. Be that as it may, now that I am finally a new mother, chatting to other mothers about what is taking place in my life has been a huge help. We chat about how we bring up our children, what to do and not to do, we share recipes, and we like to discuss the most recent baby outfits we have picked up.

I usually meet with 2 other parents, once a week, to hear about the latest new. We usually meet at Sawgrass Grill and the Tavern (which is in PONTE VEDRA BEACH, FL) as that is fairly central for all of us. Last week was particularly interesting because we chatted about organic baby clothing. I have been giving my baby organic meals from day one but I had not considered getting organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most popular products in the US and one of the most devastating to the environment and to farm workers. The run off from cotton farms has destroyed ecosystems and particularly water supplies. Organic products are grown without using artificial fertilisers and insecticides. Alternatively, organic farming relies on things like crop rotation, enhancing soils naturally, and using eco friendly pest control practices.

You can get organic cotton baby clothing online from a number of retailers. Sckoon has some gorgeous organic baby clothes.

Benefits of Organic Clothing

Getting organic clothes means you are getting clothes which have been produced in an environmentally friendly manner, or at a minimum in a way which causes less pollution of the environment. No or a reduction in the use of pesticides and fertilizers means less pollution of our soils and waterways, less cancers for farmers, and fewer health risks for our children by lessening their contact with toxic chemicals.

Several retailers of baby clothes also make a range of organic clothing or you can find companies completely committed to organic baby clothes. Thankfully, there are a lot of marks to choose from and all ages are catered for, from infants to adolescents. Naturally, organic fashion for men and women is also available and I am looking into that for myself and my man.

I am not saying that I am only going to get organic cotton or bamboo cotton clothing (which is a good alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my baby but I am without a doubt going try to whenever it is available.
