Back before I had my children, I never imagined I would be part of a mothers group. However, now that I am finally a new mother, chatting to other parents about what is going on in my life has really helped me. We discuss how we deal with our children, what to do and not to do, we share meal plans, and we enjoy being able to discuss the latest baby fashions we have picked up.

I usually get together with 4 other parents, once a week, to hear about the latest new. We often meet at Benedettos (which is in CLINTON TOWNSHIP, MI) as that is quite central for all of us. Last week was particularly eye opening because we talked about organic baby clothes. I have been providing my baby girl organic food from the beginning but it had never crossed my mind to getting organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most popular crops in the US and one of the most harmful to the ecosystem and to farm workers. The run off from these farms has ruined ecosystems and in particular water ways. Organic produce is grown without the need for artificial fertilisers and insecticides. Instead, organic farming depends on things like crop rotation, improving soils naturally, and using eco friendly pest control techniques.

You can buy organic cotton baby outfits online from a number of shops. Sckoon has some gorgeous organic baby clothing.

Benefits of Organic Baby Clothing

Purchasing organic produce means you are purchasing produce which have been produced in an eco-friendly manner, or at a minimum in a way which causes less contamination of our habitat. No or less use of insecticides and fertilizers means less pollution of our farms and waterways, less cancers for farm employees, and fewer health risks for our children by moderating their contact with dangerous chemicals.

Several retailers of baby clothes also produce a range of organic items or you can find companies solely committed to organic baby fashion. Anyway, there are a lot of brands to choose from and all ages are provided for, from toddlers to adolescents. Obviously, organic fashion for men and women is also available and I am looking into that for myself and my man.

I would not go as far to say that I am only going to get organic cotton or bamboo cotton clothing (which is a good alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my children but I am definitely going try to whenever it is available.
