Back before I had my first child, I never really thought I would belong to 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 baby food recipes, and we love to discuss the latest baby clothes we have purchased.

I more often than not meet with 2 other parents, once a fortnight, to find out the latest gossip. We often meet at Shore Casino (which is in ATLANTIC HIGHLANDS, NJ) as that is fairly central for all of us. Last month was particularly exciting seeing we chatted about organic baby clothing. I have been giving my baby girl organic food from the start but I had never thought about purchasing organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most widely grown products in the world and one of the most devastating to the habitat and to farm employees. The run off from non-organic cotton farms has ruined ecosystems and particularly water ways. Organic cotton is grown without the use of artificial fertilisers and pesticides. Instead, organic farming relies on things like crop rotation, raising the quality of soils naturally, and using organic insect control techniques.

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

Benefits of Organic Clothing

Purchasing organic produce means you are buying produce which have been produced in an eco-friendly manner, or at a minimum in a way which causes less pollution of our habitat. No or a reduction in the use of pesticides and fertilizers means less pollution of our soils and rivers, fewer cancers for farm workers, and fewer health risks for our children by lessening their contact with toxic chemicals.

Several retailers of baby clothes also produce a range of organic clothes or you can find stores solely committed to organic baby fashion. Either way, there are a lot of brands to choose from and all ages are taken care of, from toddlers to older children. Naturally, organic clothes for men and women is also obtainable and I am looking into that for myself and my man.

I would not go as far to say that I am only ever going to purchase organic cotton or bamboo clothes (which is an excellent alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my children but I am without a doubt going try to whenever I can.
