Before I had my first child, I never thought I would join a mothers group. However, now that I have become a new mother, being able to talk to other mothers about what is going on in my life has really helped me. We chat 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 newest baby fashions we have bought.

I more often than not meet with 2 other mothers, once a fortnight, to catch up on the latest happenings. We often meet at Kimball Inn (which is in HURLEY, WI) as that is fairly central for all of us. Last week was really eye opening as we discussed baby clothes. I have been providing my baby boy organic meals from day one but it had never crossed my mind to getting organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most popular plants in America and one of the most harmful to the ecosystem and to farm workers. The run off from these farms has destroyed ecosystems and especially water supplies. Organic cotton is produced without the use of artificial fertilisers and insecticides. Alternatively, organic farming depends upon things like crop rotation, raising the quality of soils naturally, and using eco friendly pest control practices.

You can buy organic cotton baby outfits online from a number of stores. Sckoon has some beautiful organic baby apparel.

Benefits of Choosing Organic Products

Purchasing organic clothes means you are getting products which have been produced in an environmentally friendly manner, or at the very least in a way which causes less damage to our habitat. No or a reduction in the use of insecticides and synthetic fertilisers means less pollution of our land and waterways, reduced diseases for farm employees, and fewer health risks for children by lessening their contact with dangerous chemicals.

A number of producers of baby clothes also make a range of organic clothing or you can find retailers completely dedicated to organic baby clothing. Thankfully, there are a lot of designs to choose from and all ages are catered for, from infants to teenagers. Of course, organic fashion for men and women is also accessible and I am looking into that for myself and my man.

I do not think that I am just going to buy organic cotton or bamboo cotton clothing (which is an amazing alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my children but I am absolutely going try to whenever it is available.
