Before I had my children, I never really believed I would join a mothers group. However, now that I am a mum, talking to other women about what is taking place in my life has really helped me. 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 talk about the latest baby outfits we have picked up.

I generally get together with 4 other mothers, once a week, to hear about the latest happenings. We often meet at Gookies Kitchen (which is in ROSEDALE, NY) as that is quite central for all of us. Last time was really exciting as we discussed baby clothes. I have been giving my baby organic meals from the start but I had never thought about buying organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most widely grown crops in the US and one of the most ruinous to the habitat and to farmers. The run off from cotton farms has damaged ecosystems and especially water bodies. Organic products are grown without the need for artificial fertilisers and insecticides. Rather, organic farming relies on things like crop rotation, improving soils naturally, and using eco friendly pest control techniques.

You can purchase soft organic cotton baby clothes online from a number of stores. Sckoon is my favourite for organic baby clothes.

Benefits of Organic Baby Clothing

Purchasing organic produce means you are buying products which have been produced in an environmentally friendly manner, or at a minimum in a way which causes less contamination of our habitat. No or a reduction in the use of herbicides and fertilizers means less pollution of our farms and lakes, reduced health problems for farm employees, and fewer health risks for our children by lessening their contact with dangerous chemicals.

A number of producers of baby clothes also produce a range of organic clothes or you can find shops entirely committed to organic baby clothing. Anyway, there are a lot of marks to choose from and all ages are catered for, from babies to older children. Of course, organic fashion for men and women is also available and I am looking into that for myself and my partner.

I am not saying that I am only ever going to get organic cotton or bamboo clothes (which is an amazing alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my child but I am absolutely going try to whenever I can.
