Before I had my first child, I had not thought I would join a mothers group. Be that as it may, now that I am a mum, being able to talk to other parents about what is happening in my life has benefited me immensely. We chat about how we raise our children, what to do and not to do, we share recipes, and we like to discuss the newest baby outfits we have bought.

I generally go out with 3 other parents, once a month, to find out the latest happenings. We often meet at Clayton's Caribbean American and Spanish Restauran (which is in ALBANY, NY) as that is quite central for all of us. Last time was really eye opening seeing we discussed organic 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 crops in the US and one of the most devastating to the environment and to farm employees. The run off from these farms has damaged habitats and particularly water bodies. Organic cotton is grown without the use of artificial fertilisers and insecticides. Rather, organic farming relies on things like crop rotation, enhancing soils naturally, and using eco friendly pest control practices.

You can buy soft organic cotton baby outfits online from a number of shops. Sckoon is my favourite for organic baby clothing.

Benefits of Choosing Organic Products

Purchasing organic products means you are purchasing products which have been produced in an eco-friendly manner, or at least in a way which causes less pollution of the environment. No or a reduction in the use of insecticides and fertilizers means less pollution of our land and lakes, reduced health problems for farmers, and fewer health risks for children by lessening their contact with potentially dangerous chemicals.

Several producers of baby clothes also make a range of organic items or you can find wholesalers solely devoted to organic baby clothes. Either way, there are a lot of marks to choose from and all ages are provided for, from toddlers to older children. Naturally, organic clothing for men and women is also available and I am looking into that for myself and my man.

I do not think that I am just going to purchase organic cotton or bamboo cotton clothing (which is a good alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my children but I am without a doubt going try to whenever possible.
