Back before I had my first child, I never really imagined I would join a mothers group. Anyhow, now that I am finally a new mother, being able to talk to other parents about what is taking place in my life has been a huge help. We talk about how we bring up our children, what to do and not to do, we share meal plans, and we love to chat about the latest baby clothes we have purchased.

I generally get together with 2 other mothers, once a month, to find out the latest new. We often meet at Pasta House CO (which is in HIGH RIDGE, MO) as that is pretty central for all of us. Last week was more exciting because we discussed organic baby clothing. I have been giving my baby boy organic meals from the beginning but it had never crossed my mind to purchasing organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most popular products in the world and one of the most devastating to the environment and to farm workers. The run off from cotton farms has damaged ecosystems and in particular water supplies. Organic products are made without using artificial fertilisers and pesticides. Alternatively, organic farming relies on things like crop rotation, improving soils naturally, and using organic insect control methods.

You can purchase organic baby clothes online from a number of shops. Sckoon has some of the cutest organic baby apparel.

Benefits of Choosing Organic Products

Purchasing organic clothes means you are buying clothes which have been produced in an eco friendly manner, or at least in a way which causes less pollution of soils and waterways. No or less use of herbicides and synthetic fertilisers means less pollution of our land and rivers, less cancers for farm employees, and fewer health risks for our children by reducing their contact with dangerous chemicals.

A number of wholesalers of baby clothes also make a range of organic items or you can find designers solely committed to organic baby fashion. Thankfully, there are a lot of designs to choose from and all ages are taken care of, from babies to teenagers. Naturally, organic clothes for men and women is also available and I am looking into that for myself and my husband.

I am not saying that I am only going to get organic cotton or bamboo clothes (which is a great alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my baby but I am absolutely going try to whenever I can.
