Long before I had my baby, I never really believed I would be part of a mothers group. However, now that I have become a mother, being able to talk to other women about what is going on in my life has really helped me. We talk about how we bring up our children, what to do and not to do, we share recipes, and we love to talk about the latest baby clothes we have bought.

I generally meet with 4 other mothers, once a month, to catch up on the latest happenings. We usually meet at Paul Reveres Pizza (which is in EDGERTON, WI) as that is quite central for all of us. Last time was particularly eye opening seeing we chatted about baby clothes. I have been providing my baby boy organic food from the start but it had never crossed my mind to purchasing organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most broadly grown plants in America and one of the most harmful to the habitat and to farm workers. The run off from non-organic cotton farms has destroyed the environment and especially water bodies. Organic cotton is grown without the use of artificial fertilisers and insecticides. Instead, organic farming depends upon things like crop rotation, raising the quality of soils naturally, and using organic pest control techniques.

You can buy organic cotton baby clothes online from a number of retailers. Sckoon is my favourite for organic baby clothing.

Benefits of Organic Baby Clothing

Purchasing organic clothes means you are buying clothes which have been produced in an environmentally friendly manner, or at a minimum in a way which causes less damage to the environment. No or a reduction in the use of pesticides and fertilisers means less pollution of our farms and waterways, less health problems for farm employees, and fewer health risks for our children by reducing their contact with dangerous chemicals.

Many producers of baby clothes also sell a range of organic clothes or you can find stores completely dedicated to organic baby clothes. Anyway, there are a lot of marks to choose from and all ages are taken care of, from toddlers to adolescents. Naturally, organic fashion for men and women is also available and I am looking into that for myself and my partner.

I do not think that I am only ever going to get organic cotton or bamboo cotton clothing (which is an amazing alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my child but I am without a doubt going try to whenever I can.
