Back before I had my children, I never really thought I would join a mothers group. Be that as it may, now that I have become a new mother, chatting to other mothers 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 recipes, and we enjoy being able to discuss the most recent baby clothes we have bought.

I generally get together with 4 other women, once a fortnight, to find out the latest gossip. We generally meet at PHO Cali (which is in RALEIGH, NC) as that is fairly central for all of us. Last month was more eye opening because we discussed organic baby clothes. I have been feeding my baby girl organic produce from day one but it had never crossed my mind to buying organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most widely grown plants in America and one of the most harmful to the habitat and to farmers. The run off from cotton farms has damaged ecosystems and especially water ways. Organic products are grown without the need for artificial fertilisers and pesticides. Rather, organic farming depends on things like crop rotation, raising the quality of soils naturally, and using eco friendly pest control techniques.

You can purchase soft organic cotton baby outfits online from a number of stores. Sckoon has some of the cutest organic baby clothes.

Benefits of Organic Clothing

Buying organic clothes means you are getting produce which have been produced in an eco friendly manner, or at least in a way which causes less contamination of the environment. No or less use of insecticides and synthetic fertilisers means less pollution of our land and waterways, less cancers for farm employees, and fewer health risks for our babies and children by reducing their contact with potentially dangerous chemicals.

Several retailers of baby clothes also sell a range of organic clothes or you can find shops solely committed to organic baby clothing. Anyway, there are a lot of designs to choose from and all ages are catered for, from infants to teenagers. Naturally, organic clothes for men and women is also obtainable and I am looking into that for myself and my partner.

I would not go as far to say that I am only ever going to buy organic cotton or bamboo cotton clothing (which is an amazing alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my children but I am definitely going try to whenever I can.
