Back before I had my first child, I never really thought I would be part of a mothers group. Be that as it may, now that I am a mother, being able to talk to other women about what is happening in my life has really helped me. We discuss how we bring up our children, what to do and not to do, we share recipes, and we love to chat about the newest baby clothes we have bought.

I more often than not go out with 4 other mothers, once a week, to find out the latest gossip. We generally meet at Parkview Drive In (which is in GRIGGSVILLE, IL) as that is quite central for all of us. Last month was particularly eye opening as we chatted about organic baby clothes. I have been feeding my baby boy organic produce from the start but I had not considered getting 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 workers. The run off from these farms has damaged ecosystems and in particular water bodies. Organic produce is grown without using artificial fertilisers and pesticides. Instead, organic farming depends on things like crop rotation, improving soils naturally, and using eco friendly pest control practices.

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

Benefits of Choosing Organic Products

Getting organic products means you are buying produce which have been produced in an eco-friendly manner, or at the very least in a way which causes less contamination of our habitat. No or a reduction in the use of herbicides and fertilisers means less pollution of our farms and rivers, fewer health problems for farm employees, and fewer health risks for children by reducing their contact with dangerous chemicals.

Quite a few makers of baby clothes also sell a range of organic items or you can find shops completely dedicated to organic baby fashion. Thankfully, there are a lot of designs to choose from and all ages are provided for, from infants to adolescents. Of course, organic clothing for men and women is also obtainable and I am looking into that for myself and my husband.

I do not think that I am only going to buy organic cotton or bamboo clothes (which is a fantastic alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my child but I am absolutely going try to whenever possible.
