Back before I had my first child, I never believed I would be part of a mothers group. However, now that I am finally a new mother, chatting to other parents about what is taking place in my life has benefited me immensely. We talk about how we deal with our children, what to do and not to do, we share meal plans, and we love to talk about the most recent baby outfits we have picked up.

I generally get together with 3 other parents, once a month, to hear about the latest happenings. We usually meet at Baricelli Inn (which is in CLEVELAND, OH) as that is pretty central for all of us. Last week was really interesting because we discussed baby clothes. I have been providing my baby boy organic food from the start but I had never thought about buying organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most popular crops in America and one of the most ruinous to the ecosystem and to farmers. The run off from non-organic cotton farms has ruined ecosystems and especially water supplies. Organic produce is grown without the need for artificial fertilisers and insecticides. Rather, organic farming depends on things like crop rotation, raising the quality of soils naturally, and using organic pest control practices.

You can get soft organic cotton baby clothing online from a number of shops. Sckoon is my favourite for organic baby apparel.

Benefits of Organic Baby Clothing

Buying organic produce 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 our habitat. No or reduced use of herbicides and synthetic fertilisers means less pollution of our farms and rivers, fewer cancers for farmers, and fewer health risks for our children by moderating their contact with dangerous chemicals.

A number of makers of baby clothes also produce a range of organic items or you can find wholesalers completely dedicated to organic baby fashion. Anyway, there are a lot of designs to choose from and all ages are provided for, from infants to older children. Obviously, organic clothes 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 just going to purchase organic cotton or bamboo clothes (which is an excellent alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my children but I am most definitely going try to whenever possible.
