Long before I had my baby, I never believed I would be part of a mothers group. Be that as it may, now that I am finally a mother, talking to other women about what is happening in my life has been a huge help. We chat about how we bring up our children, what to do and not to do, we share recipes, and we love to chat about the newest baby clothes we have picked up.

I usually go out with 4 other women, once a month, to find out the latest gossip. We generally meet at K Tap Room (which is in VANDALIA, MI) as that is fairly central for all of us. Last time was particularly eye opening because we chatted about baby clothes. I have been giving my baby boy organic produce from day one but I had not considered purchasing organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most broadly grown crops in the world and one of the most ruinous to the environment and to farmers. The run off from cotton farms has damaged ecosystems and in particular water ways. Organic cotton is produced without the need for artificial fertilisers and pesticides. Alternatively, organic farming depends on things like crop rotation, raising the quality of soils naturally, and using organic pest control methods.

You can buy soft organic cotton baby outfits online from a number of stores. Sckoon has some gorgeous organic baby clothes.

Benefits of Organic Clothing

Getting organic products means you are getting products which have been produced in an environmentally friendly manner, or at the very least in a way which causes less damage to our habitat. No or reduced use of insecticides and fertilizers means less pollution of our land and waterways, fewer diseases for farm workers, and fewer health risks for our babies and children by moderating their contact with potentially dangerous chemicals.

Quite a few producers of baby clothes also sell a range of organic items or you can find wholesalers completely devoted to organic baby clothes. Either way, there are a lot of marks to choose from and all ages are taken care of, from toddlers to adolescents. Of course, organic clothes for men and women is also available and I am looking into that for myself and my man.

I would not go as far to say that I am just going to buy organic cotton or bamboo clothes (which is a great alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my children but I am without a doubt going try to whenever it is available.
