Before I had my first child, I never really believed I would join a mothers group. Anyhow, now that I am a mother, chatting to other parents about what is going on in my life has benefited me immensely. We talk about how we deal with our children, what to do and not to do, we share baby food recipes, and we like to chat about the most recent baby fashions we have bought.

I generally go out with 2 other parents, once a week, to catch up on the latest gossip. We usually meet at Saddle Club (which is in GREENSBORO, GA) as that is quite central for all of us. Last week was more exciting seeing we discussed organic baby clothes. I have been feeding my baby organic food from day one but I had never thought about purchasing organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most popular plants in the world and one of the most harmful to the ecosystem and to farm employees. The run off from these farms has damaged the environment and especially water supplies. Organic products are made without using artificial fertilisers and chemicals. Alternatively, organic farming relies on things like crop rotation, raising the quality of soils naturally, and using organic insect control methods.

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

Benefits of Organic Baby Clothing

Getting organic clothes means you are buying products which have been produced in an environmentally friendly manner, or at the very least in a way which causes less pollution of our habitat. No or a reduction in the use of herbicides and synthetic fertilisers means less pollution of our farms and waterways, reduced cancers for farm employees, and fewer health risks for children by moderating their contact with dangerous chemicals.

Many wholesalers of baby clothes also make a range of organic clothes or you can find retailers solely dedicated to organic baby fashion. Either way, there are a lot of designs to choose from and all ages are catered for, from babies to teenagers. Of course, organic fashion for men and women is also obtainable and I am looking into that for myself and my partner.

I would not go as far to say that I am just going to get organic cotton or bamboo clothing (which is an amazing alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my child but I am absolutely going try to whenever it is available.
