Before I had my first child, I had not believed I would belong to a mothers group. Anyhow, now that I am finally a new mother, talking to other women about what is happening in my life has been a huge help. We talk about how we raise our children, what to do and not to do, we share baby food recipes, and we like to talk about the latest baby outfits we have purchased.

I more often than not get together with 3 other women, once a week, to hear about the latest new. We generally meet at Davinci's Ristorante (which is in GREENWICH, CT) as that is fairly central for all of us. Last time was really exciting because we talked about baby clothes. I have been feeding my baby girl organic food from day one but it had never crossed my mind to getting organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most popular crops in the US and one of the most devastating to the habitat and to farmers. The run off from non-organic cotton farms has damaged ecosystems and particularly water bodies. Organic cotton is made without using artificial fertilisers and pesticides. Rather, organic farming relies on things like crop rotation, improving soils naturally, and using organic insect control techniques.

You can buy soft organic cotton baby clothing online from a number of stores. Sckoon has some of the cutest organic baby apparel.

Benefits of Organic Baby Clothing

Purchasing organic produce means you are getting produce which have been produced in an eco friendly manner, or at a minimum in a way which causes less damage to soils and waterways. No or a reduction in the use of insecticides and synthetic fertilisers means less pollution of our soils and rivers, fewer cancers for farm employees, and fewer health risks for our children by lessening their contact with dangerous chemicals.

Several wholesalers of baby clothes also produce a range of organic clothing or you can find retailers completely devoted to organic baby fashion. Either way, there are a lot of brands to choose from and all ages are catered for, from toddlers to adolescents. Naturally, organic fashion for men and women is also obtainable 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 get organic cotton or bamboo clothing (which is a fantastic alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my baby but I am without a doubt going try to whenever it is available.
