Before I had my children, I never really thought I would join a mothers group. Be that as it may, now that I am finally a mother, talking to other women about what is going on in my life has really helped me. We talk about how we raise our children, what to do and not to do, we share baby food recipes, and we like to chat about the latest baby fashions we have picked up.

I generally get together with 2 other mothers, once a week, to catch up on the latest new. We generally meet at Miami Subs (which is in TALLAHASSEE, FL) as that is fairly central for all of us. Last time was particularly eye opening seeing we talked about organic baby clothing. I have been giving my baby organic meals from the beginning but I had never thought about purchasing organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most widely grown products 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 ruined habitats and especially water supplies. Organic cotton is grown without using artificial fertilisers and pesticides. Rather, organic farming depends on things like crop rotation, raising the quality of soils naturally, and using organic pest control practices.

You can purchase organic baby apparel online from a number of retailers. Sckoon has some beautiful organic baby clothing.

Benefits of Organic Baby Clothing

Getting organic clothing means you are purchasing clothes which have been produced in an eco-friendly manner, or at a minimum in a way which causes less damage to our habitat. No or a reduction in the use of herbicides and fertilisers means less pollution of our soils and waterways, fewer health problems for farm workers, and fewer health risks for our babies and children by moderating their contact with dangerous chemicals.

Several producers of baby clothes also sell a range of organic items or you can find companies solely committed to organic baby clothing. Either way, there are a lot of brands to choose from and all ages are provided for, from infants to teenagers. Of course, organic clothing for men and women is also obtainable and I am looking into that for myself and my partner.

I am not saying that I am only ever going to buy organic cotton or bamboo clothing (which is a great alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my child but I am absolutely going try to whenever I can.
