Before I had my first child, I had not thought I would be part of a mothers group. Anyhow, now that I am a mum, chatting to other mothers about what is happening in my life has really helped me. We talk about how we bring up our children, what to do and not to do, we share baby food recipes, and we love to chat about the most recent baby fashions we have purchased.

I usually go out with 3 other women, once a month, to find out the latest new. We generally meet at Jims Pizzeria (which is in JANESVILLE, WI) as that is fairly central for all of us. Last month was really exciting seeing we discussed organic baby clothes. I have been giving my baby organic produce from the beginning but I had never thought about getting organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most broadly grown products in the US and one of the most devastating to the ecosystem and to farm employees. The run off from these farms has destroyed the environment and particularly water bodies. Organic cotton is grown without the use of artificial fertilisers and insecticides. Alternatively, organic farming relies on things like crop rotation, enhancing soils naturally, and using eco friendly pest control methods.

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

Benefits of Choosing Organic Products

Getting organic produce means you are buying produce which have been produced in an environmentally friendly manner, or at the very least in a way which causes less damage to the environment. No or less use of herbicides and fertilizers means less pollution of our farms and lakes, less cancers for farm employees, and fewer health risks for children by moderating their contact with potentially dangerous chemicals.

A number of wholesalers of baby clothes also sell a range of organic clothing or you can find wholesalers completely committed to organic baby clothes. Thankfully, there are a lot of brands to choose from and all ages are catered for, from infants to adolescents. Of course, organic clothes for men and women is also obtainable and I am looking into that for myself and my husband.

I am not saying that I am only ever going to purchase organic cotton or bamboo cotton clothing (which is an excellent alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my children but I am absolutely going try to whenever possible.
