Before I had my children, I had not thought I would belong to a mothers group. Anyhow, now that I am a mother, being able to talk to other mothers about what is going on in my life has really helped me. We chat about how we bring up our children, what to do and not to do, we share meal plans, and we enjoy being able to discuss the most recent baby fashions we have purchased.

I generally go out with 3 other women, once a month, to catch up on the latest gossip. We generally meet at Giovannis (which is in WHEELERSBURG, OH) as that is pretty central for all of us. Last week was particularly exciting because we chatted about baby clothes. I have been providing my baby organic meals from the start but I had not considered purchasing organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most broadly grown products in America and one of the most devastating to the ecosystem and to farmers. The run off from cotton farms has damaged habitats and in particular water supplies. Organic products are produced without the need for artificial fertilisers and pesticides. Instead, organic farming relies on things like crop rotation, improving soils naturally, and using eco friendly pest control techniques.

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

Benefits of Organic Baby Clothing

Purchasing organic products means you are buying products which have been produced in an eco friendly manner, or at the very least in a way which causes less pollution of soils and waterways. No or less use of pesticides and fertilisers means less pollution of our land and waterways, fewer health problems for farmers, and fewer health risks for our children by lessening their contact with toxic chemicals.

Many retailers of baby clothes also sell a range of organic items or you can find designers completely dedicated to organic baby clothes. Either way, there are a lot of brands to choose from and all ages are provided for, from babies to adolescents. Naturally, 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 purchase organic cotton or bamboo clothes (which is an amazing alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my baby but I am without a doubt going try to whenever I can.
