Back before I had my first child, I never really imagined I would join a mothers group. Be that as it may, now that I have become a mum, being able to talk to other parents about what is taking place in my life has been a huge help. We discuss how we raise our children, what to do and not to do, we share recipes, and we enjoy being able to chat about the most recent baby outfits we have purchased.

I more often than not get together with 3 other parents, once a month, to hear about the latest gossip. We usually meet at Ala Carte Catering (which is in KALISPELL, MT) as that is quite central for all of us. Last time was more exciting because we discussed organic baby clothes. I have been feeding my baby boy organic meals from day one but I had never thought about buying organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most popular products in the US and one of the most ruinous to the habitat and to farmers. The run off from non-organic cotton farms has destroyed habitats and particularly water bodies. Organic produce is grown without the use of artificial fertilisers and pesticides. Instead, organic farming depends upon things like crop rotation, improving soils naturally, and using eco friendly pest control methods.

You can buy organic cotton baby clothes online from a number of shops. Sckoon is my favourite for organic baby clothing.

Benefits of Organic Baby Clothing

Buying organic products means you are buying products which have been produced in an eco-friendly manner, or at the very least in a way which causes less pollution of soils and waterways. No or reduced use of pesticides and synthetic fertilisers means less pollution of our soils and lakes, reduced diseases for farm workers, and fewer health risks for children by reducing their contact with potentially dangerous chemicals.

A number of makers of baby clothes also sell a range of organic clothing or you can find wholesalers entirely devoted to organic baby fashion. Thankfully, there are a lot of marks to choose from and all ages are provided for, from infants to adolescents. Naturally, organic fashion 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 ever going to buy organic cotton or bamboo clothing (which is an excellent alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my children but I am most definitely going try to whenever it is available.
