Before I had my children, I never imagined I would belong to a mothers group. Be that as it may, now that I am a new mother, being able to talk to other mothers about what is taking place in my life has been a huge help. We chat about how we raise our children, what to do and not to do, we share meal plans, and we enjoy being able to chat about the latest baby fashions we have purchased.

I generally go out with 4 other women, once a fortnight, to hear about the latest gossip. We often meet at Amazonas Restaurant (which is in WORCESTER, MA) as that is fairly central for all of us. Last week was particularly exciting seeing we talked about organic baby clothing. I have been providing my baby girl organic produce from the beginning but I had never thought about getting organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most widely grown crops in America and one of the most devastating to the environment and to farmers. The run off from these farms has damaged ecosystems and particularly water supplies. Organic produce is produced without using artificial fertilisers and insecticides. Alternatively, organic farming depends on things like crop rotation, improving soils naturally, and using organic insect control practices.

You can get organic cotton baby apparel online from a number of stores. Sckoon is my favourite for organic baby clothing.

Benefits of Organic Clothing

Buying organic clothing 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 contamination of soils and waterways. No or reduced use of herbicides and fertilisers means less pollution of our farms and lakes, less diseases for farmers, and fewer health risks for children by moderating their contact with potentially dangerous chemicals.

Quite a few producers of baby clothes also produce a range of organic clothes or you can find shops completely dedicated to organic baby fashion. Thankfully, there are a lot of designs to choose from and all ages are catered for, from babies to teenagers. Obviously, organic fashion for men and women is also accessible and I am looking into that for myself and my man.

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