Before I had my first child, I never really imagined I would belong to a mothers group. However, now that I am finally a mum, being able to talk to other parents about what is taking place in my life has been a huge help. We discuss how we deal with our children, what to do and not to do, we share meal plans, and we love to chat about the latest baby clothes we have picked up.

I usually go out with 2 other parents, once a fortnight, to catch up on the latest new. We often meet at Mama Ginas (which is in BELLMORE, NY) as that is fairly central for all of us. Last time was more interesting because we chatted about organic baby clothing. I have been giving my baby girl organic meals from the start but it had never crossed my mind to getting organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most broadly grown products in the US and one of the most ruinous to the environment and to farmers. The run off from these farms has ruined ecosystems and particularly water ways. Organic products are produced without the need for artificial fertilisers and insecticides. Instead, organic farming relies on things like crop rotation, raising the quality of soils naturally, and using organic insect control practices.

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

Benefits of Choosing Organic Products

Purchasing organic clothing means you are getting products which have been produced in an environmentally friendly manner, or at least in a way which causes less damage to soils and waterways. No or a reduction in the use of pesticides and fertilizers means less pollution of our farms and waterways, reduced cancers for farmers, and fewer health risks for our children by moderating their contact with dangerous chemicals.

Many makers of baby clothes also make a range of organic clothing or you can find wholesalers solely committed to organic baby clothes. Anyway, there are a lot of designs to choose from and all ages are provided for, from babies to adolescents. Obviously, organic fashion for men and women is also obtainable and I am looking into that for myself and my husband.

I am not saying that I am only going to purchase organic cotton or bamboo clothing (which is a great alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my baby but I am definitely going try to whenever it is available.
