Before I had my first child, I had not believed I would belong to a mothers group. Be that as it may, now that I have become a mum, chatting to other parents about what is happening in my life has really helped me. We discuss how we raise our children, what to do and not to do, we share recipes, and we enjoy being able to talk about the most recent baby clothes we have purchased.

I generally meet with 3 other mothers, once a fortnight, to catch up on the latest new. We usually meet at Aunt Marias Kitchen (which is in CLEARWATER, FL) as that is fairly central for all of us. Last month was more eye opening because we chatted about organic baby clothes. I have been giving my baby organic produce from day one but I had not considered getting organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most broadly grown products in the world and one of the most harmful to the habitat and to farm workers. The run off from cotton farms has destroyed habitats and in particular water ways. Organic products are produced without the use of artificial fertilisers and chemicals. Alternatively, organic farming relies on things like crop rotation, enhancing soils naturally, and using organic insect control methods.

You can purchase organic cotton baby apparel online from a number of stores. Sckoon has some beautiful organic baby clothes.

Benefits of Organic Baby Clothing

Buying organic clothes means you are purchasing products which have been produced in an environmentally friendly manner, or at least in a way which causes less damage to the environment. No or reduced use of insecticides and synthetic fertilisers means less pollution of our farms and rivers, reduced cancers for farmers, and fewer health risks for our babies and children by lessening their contact with toxic chemicals.

Many producers of baby clothes also sell a range of organic clothing or you can find wholesalers entirely devoted to organic baby fashion. Either way, there are a lot of marks to choose from and all ages are provided for, from babies to older children. Naturally, organic clothing for men and women is also obtainable and I am looking into that for myself and my man.

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