Before I had my children, I never imagined I would belong to a mothers group. However, now that I am a mother, talking to other parents about what is taking place in my life has benefited me immensely. We discuss how we deal with our children, what to do and not to do, we share baby food recipes, and we like to discuss the latest baby clothes we have purchased.

I generally get together with 3 other mothers, once a fortnight, to catch up on the latest gossip. We generally meet at Farmers Restaurant (which is in DETROIT, MI) as that is fairly central for all of us. Last month was really interesting as we discussed organic baby clothes. I have been feeding my baby boy organic meals from day one but I had not considered purchasing organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most broadly grown crops in America and one of the most harmful to the environment and to farm employees. The run off from non-organic cotton farms has destroyed ecosystems and particularly water supplies. Organic cotton is grown without using artificial fertilisers and pesticides. Rather, organic farming depends upon things like crop rotation, improving soils naturally, and using organic pest control techniques.

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

Benefits of Choosing Organic Products

Getting organic produce means you are purchasing produce which have been produced in an eco 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 waterways, reduced health problems for farm employees, and fewer health risks for children by lessening their contact with dangerous chemicals.

A number of retailers of baby clothes also sell a range of organic clothes or you can find shops solely devoted to organic baby clothes. Either way, there are a lot of designs to choose from and all ages are provided for, from infants to teenagers. Naturally, organic clothing for men and women is also accessible and I am looking into that for myself and my man.

I do not think that I am only going to purchase organic cotton or bamboo clothing (which is an amazing alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my child but I am definitely going try to whenever it is available.
