Before I had my baby, I never really imagined I would be part of a mothers group. However, now that I am finally a mother, being able to talk to other parents about what is going on in my life has benefited me immensely. We talk about how we raise our children, what to do and not to do, we share recipes, and we like to chat about the newest baby outfits we have bought.

I usually get together with 2 other parents, once a week, to hear about the latest happenings. We usually meet at Country Cottage Family Restaurant (which is in ATLANTA, GA) as that is fairly central for all of us. Last month was particularly eye opening as we discussed organic baby clothing. I have been providing my baby boy organic meals from the beginning but it had never crossed my mind to purchasing organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most widely grown crops in the world and one of the most ruinous to the habitat and to farm employees. The run off from these farms has destroyed the environment and particularly water bodies. Organic produce is produced without using artificial fertilisers and pesticides. Rather, organic farming depends on things like crop rotation, enhancing soils naturally, and using organic insect control methods.

You can get organic baby clothes online from a number of retailers. Sckoon has some beautiful organic baby clothing.

Benefits of Organic Baby Clothing

Buying organic clothing means you are getting clothes which have been produced in an eco-friendly manner, or at a minimum in a way which causes less damage to soils and waterways. No or reduced use of herbicides and fertilisers means less pollution of our land and waterways, fewer cancers for farm employees, and fewer health risks for children by moderating their contact with potentially dangerous chemicals.

Many producers of baby clothes also make a range of organic clothing or you can find stores solely devoted to organic baby fashion. Either way, there are a lot of designs to choose from and all ages are taken care of, from toddlers to older children. Naturally, organic clothing for men and women is also accessible and I am looking into that for myself and my partner.

I do not think that I am only going to purchase organic cotton or bamboo clothing (which is an amazing alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my children but I am most definitely going try to whenever I can.
