Back before I had my children, I had not imagined I would join a mothers group. Anyhow, now that I have become a mother, being able to talk to other parents about what is taking place in my life has benefited me immensely. We chat about how we raise our children, what to do and not to do, we share meal plans, and we like to chat about the newest baby outfits we have bought.

I generally meet with 4 other women, once a month, to hear about the latest gossip. We often meet at China Buffet (which is in BRATTLEBORO, VT) as that is quite central for all of us. Last month was particularly eye opening seeing we discussed organic baby clothing. I have been providing my baby boy organic food from day one but I had not considered purchasing organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most popular plants in the world and one of the most harmful to the habitat and to farm employees. The run off from non-organic cotton farms has damaged ecosystems and especially water supplies. Organic produce is made without using artificial fertilisers and pesticides. Instead, organic farming depends on things like crop rotation, enhancing soils naturally, and using eco friendly pest control methods.

You can buy organic baby outfits online from a number of stores. Sckoon has some of the cutest organic baby clothing.

Benefits of Choosing Organic Products

Purchasing organic produce means you are buying products which have been produced in an environmentally friendly manner, or at a minimum in a way which causes less contamination of our habitat. No or reduced use of herbicides and fertilizers means less pollution of our soils and rivers, fewer diseases for farm employees, and fewer health risks for our children by reducing their contact with dangerous chemicals.

A number of makers of baby clothes also make a range of organic clothing or you can find designers completely devoted to organic baby clothing. Either way, there are a lot of brands to choose from and all ages are provided for, from infants to older children. Naturally, organic clothes for men and women is also available and I am looking into that for myself and my partner.

I would not go as far to say that I am just going to buy organic cotton or bamboo clothes (which is a fantastic alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my child but I am most definitely going try to whenever it is available.
