Before I had my baby, I had not believed I would join a mothers group. Be that as it may, now that I am a mum, being able to talk to other women about what is going on in my life has benefited me immensely. We chat about how we bring up our children, what to do and not to do, we share meal plans, and we enjoy being able to discuss the newest baby outfits we have picked up.

I generally meet with 2 other parents, once a month, to find out the latest happenings. We generally meet at Cafe 53 (which is in DENVILLE, NJ) as that is quite central for all of us. Last month was more exciting as we discussed organic baby clothing. I have been feeding my baby boy organic food from the start but I had not considered purchasing organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most broadly grown crops in the US and one of the most devastating to the ecosystem and to farm employees. The run off from these farms has damaged ecosystems and particularly water supplies. Organic cotton is grown without the need for artificial fertilisers and pesticides. Rather, organic farming depends on things like crop rotation, raising the quality of soils naturally, and using organic pest control methods.

You can get soft organic cotton baby outfits online from a number of retailers. Sckoon has some beautiful organic baby clothes.

Benefits of Choosing Organic Products

Purchasing organic produce means you are buying clothes which have been produced in an eco-friendly manner, or at the very least in a way which causes less pollution of the environment. No or a reduction in the use of herbicides and fertilisers means less pollution of our soils and waterways, fewer health problems for farmers, and fewer health risks for children by reducing their contact with dangerous chemicals.

Several producers of baby clothes also sell a range of organic clothing or you can find stores completely devoted to organic baby clothes. Anyway, there are a lot of marks to choose from and all ages are catered for, from infants to adolescents. Naturally, organic clothing for men and women is also available and I am looking into that for myself and my man.

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