Before I had my children, I never really imagined I would join a mothers group. Be that as it may, now that I have become a mum, being able to talk to other mothers about what is happening in my life has benefited me immensely. We discuss how we deal with our children, what to do and not to do, we share recipes, and we love to discuss the most recent baby fashions we have purchased.

I more often than not go out with 2 other mothers, once a month, to catch up on the latest new. We generally meet at Beluga's (which is in CHICAGO, IL) as that is fairly central for all of us. Last month was more exciting because we discussed baby clothes. I have been giving my baby girl organic produce from the start but I had not considered buying organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most broadly grown crops in America and one of the most harmful to the ecosystem and to farmers. The run off from cotton farms has destroyed the environment and particularly water supplies. Organic produce is grown without the use of artificial fertilisers and chemicals. Alternatively, organic farming relies on things like crop rotation, improving soils naturally, and using organic insect control techniques.

You can buy organic baby apparel online from a number of retailers. Sckoon has some of the cutest organic baby apparel.

Benefits of Choosing Organic Products

Purchasing organic produce means you are buying produce which have been produced in an eco friendly manner, or at the very least in a way which causes less contamination of our habitat. No or reduced use of insecticides and fertilisers means less pollution of our soils and rivers, less cancers for farmers, and fewer health risks for children by reducing their contact with toxic chemicals.

Many producers of baby clothes also produce a range of organic clothes or you can find shops completely devoted to organic baby fashion. Thankfully, there are a lot of designs to choose from and all ages are catered for, from babies to adolescents. Naturally, organic clothing for men and women is also obtainable and I am looking into that for myself and my husband.

I do not think that I am only 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 it is available.
