Back before I had my first child, I never thought I would be part of a mothers group. Anyhow, now that I am a mum, talking to other parents about what is happening in my life has benefited me immensely. We chat about how we deal with our children, what to do and not to do, we share meal plans, and we like to talk about the latest baby fashions we have picked up.

I generally meet with 3 other parents, once a month, to find out the latest gossip. We usually meet at Eugene's (which is in KINGSPORT, TN) as that is pretty central for all of us. Last week was particularly eye opening as we chatted about organic baby clothing. I have been feeding my baby boy organic meals from the start but I had not considered buying organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most widely grown plants in the US and one of the most devastating to the habitat and to farmers. The run off from these farms has damaged ecosystems and especially water bodies. Organic products are made without the need for artificial fertilisers and chemicals. Rather, organic farming depends on things like crop rotation, improving soils naturally, and using organic pest control methods.

You can buy organic cotton baby clothing online from a number of shops. Sckoon has some gorgeous organic baby clothing.

Benefits of Choosing Organic Products

Buying organic clothing means you are buying clothes which have been produced in an environmentally friendly manner, or at least in a way which causes less contamination of soils and waterways. No or a reduction in the use of insecticides and fertilizers means less pollution of our farms and waterways, fewer diseases for farmers, and fewer health risks for children by reducing their contact with dangerous chemicals.

Several retailers of baby clothes also make a range of organic clothing or you can find designers completely dedicated to organic baby clothes. Anyway, there are a lot of brands to choose from and all ages are taken care of, from toddlers to older children. Naturally, organic fashion for men and women is also obtainable and I am looking into that for myself and my husband.

I would not go as far to say that I am only going to get organic cotton or bamboo clothes (which is a fantastic alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my children but I am definitely going try to whenever I can.
