Long before I had my baby, I never imagined I would join a mothers group. Anyhow, now that I have become a mother, talking to other parents about what is going on in my life has been a huge help. We discuss how we bring up our children, what to do and not to do, we share meal plans, and we enjoy being able to chat about the most recent baby outfits we have purchased.

I more often than not meet with 3 other mothers, once a fortnight, to hear about the latest gossip. We generally meet at El Camino Real Mexican Restaurant Inc (which is in CONNERSVILLE, IN) as that is fairly central for all of us. Last time was particularly exciting because we chatted about organic baby clothing. I have been feeding my baby organic food from day one but I had not considered getting organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most broadly grown crops in the US and one of the most harmful to the habitat and to farm workers. The run off from cotton farms has ruined ecosystems and especially water supplies. Organic produce is produced without the need for artificial fertilisers and chemicals. Rather, organic farming depends upon things like crop rotation, raising the quality of soils naturally, and using eco friendly pest control methods.

You can buy organic baby clothing online from a number of stores. Sckoon is my favourite for organic baby apparel.

Benefits of Choosing Organic Products

Buying organic clothing means you are getting produce which have been produced in an eco-friendly manner, or at a minimum in a way which causes less pollution of our habitat. No or a reduction in the use of herbicides and fertilisers means less pollution of our soils and lakes, fewer diseases for farm workers, and fewer health risks for our children by moderating their contact with dangerous chemicals.

A number of makers of baby clothes also sell a range of organic clothing or you can find shops entirely dedicated to organic baby clothing. Either way, there are a lot of designs to choose from and all ages are provided for, from babies to older children. Naturally, organic clothing 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 ever going to purchase organic cotton or bamboo cotton clothing (which is a good alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my child but I am most definitely going try to whenever I can.
