Back before I had my baby, I never really thought I would be part of 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 benefited me immensely. We talk about how we bring up our children, what to do and not to do, we share meal plans, and we enjoy being able to talk about the newest baby clothes we have picked up.

I generally go out with 4 other parents, once a fortnight, to catch up on the latest gossip. We often meet at Maristela Corporation (which is in TAMPA, FL) as that is quite central for all of us. Last month was particularly exciting because we chatted about baby clothes. I have been providing my baby organic food from the beginning but I had never thought about purchasing organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most broadly grown crops in America and one of the most devastating to the ecosystem and to farmers. The run off from non-organic cotton farms has ruined the environment and particularly water supplies. Organic produce is produced without the use of artificial fertilisers and insecticides. Alternatively, organic farming depends upon things like crop rotation, enhancing soils naturally, and using organic pest control practices.

You can purchase organic baby clothing online from a number of retailers. Sckoon is my favourite for organic baby clothes.

Benefits of Organic Clothing

Purchasing organic produce means you are getting products which have been produced in an eco friendly manner, or at the very least in a way which causes less pollution of the environment. No or a reduction in the use of insecticides and fertilisers means less pollution of our farms and lakes, reduced health problems for farm employees, and fewer health risks for our children by reducing their contact with toxic chemicals.

A number of producers of baby clothes also make a range of organic clothing or you can find wholesalers solely devoted to organic baby fashion. Thankfully, there are a lot of marks to choose from and all ages are taken care of, from infants to adolescents. Obviously, organic clothes for men and women is also obtainable and I am looking into that for myself and my man.

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