Long before I had my first child, I never really thought I would be part of a mothers group. Be that as it may, now that I have become a mum, being able to talk to other women about what is happening in my life has been a huge help. We discuss how we deal with our children, what to do and not to do, we share recipes, and we like to discuss the most recent baby clothes we have purchased.

I generally get together with 2 other mothers, once a fortnight, to find out the latest happenings. We often meet at Havana Cafe Patio (which is in SCOTTSDALE, AZ) as that is fairly central for all of us. Last week was particularly eye opening seeing we talked about organic baby clothing. I have been feeding my baby organic food from the beginning but I had never thought about buying organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most widely grown plants in the US and one of the most devastating to the habitat and to farm employees. The run off from non-organic cotton farms has destroyed the environment and especially water supplies. Organic products are produced without the need for artificial fertilisers and insecticides. Alternatively, organic farming depends on things like crop rotation, improving soils naturally, and using eco friendly pest control methods.

You can buy organic baby clothes online from a number of stores. Sckoon has some of the cutest organic baby apparel.

Benefits of Choosing Organic Products

Getting organic clothing means you are buying produce which have been produced in an eco friendly manner, or at the very least in a way which causes less contamination of our habitat. No or less use of herbicides and fertilisers means less pollution of our land and rivers, fewer cancers for farmers, and fewer health risks for our children by reducing their contact with potentially dangerous chemicals.

Many retailers of baby clothes also sell a range of organic clothing or you can find stores entirely dedicated to organic baby clothes. Thankfully, there are a lot of brands to choose from and all ages are taken care of, from babies to adolescents. Naturally, organic clothes for men and women is also accessible and I am looking into that for myself and my man.

I do not think that I am only going to purchase organic cotton or bamboo clothes (which is a fantastic alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my child but I am absolutely going try to whenever it is available.
