Back before I had my baby, I never thought I would be part of a mothers group. Be that as it may, now that I am a new mother, chatting to other parents about what is going on in my life has benefited me immensely. We talk about how we deal with our children, what to do and not to do, we share baby food recipes, and we enjoy being able to chat about the latest baby clothes we have bought.

I usually get together with 2 other mothers, once a week, to catch up on the latest happenings. We often meet at Mangia Mangia A Great Italian Deli (which is in LANSING, MI) as that is fairly central for all of us. Last month was more exciting because we talked about organic baby clothes. I have been giving my baby organic meals from day one but I had not considered getting organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most popular products in the US and one of the most harmful to the environment and to farm workers. The run off from cotton farms has destroyed ecosystems and in particular water supplies. Organic cotton is made without the need for artificial fertilisers and pesticides. Rather, organic farming depends on things like crop rotation, raising the quality of soils naturally, and using organic insect control practices.

You can purchase soft organic cotton baby clothing online from a number of stores. Sckoon has some beautiful organic baby clothing.

Benefits of Organic Clothing

Purchasing organic clothing means you are buying produce which have been produced in an eco friendly manner, or at least in a way which causes less pollution of our habitat. No or reduced use of pesticides and synthetic fertilisers means less pollution of our farms and rivers, fewer health problems for farm workers, and fewer health risks for our children by reducing their contact with toxic chemicals.

Quite a few retailers of baby clothes also sell a range of organic clothing or you can find companies entirely devoted to organic baby clothes. Thankfully, there are a lot of designs to choose from and all ages are provided for, from toddlers to teenagers. 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 just going to purchase organic cotton or bamboo clothes (which is an amazing alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my children but I am absolutely going try to whenever it is available.
