Long before I had my baby, I had not believed I would join a mothers group. Be that as it may, now that I have become a new mother, chatting to other parents about what is happening in my life has really helped me. We chat about how we raise our children, what to do and not to do, we share meal plans, and we enjoy being able to chat about the latest baby outfits we have purchased.

I more often than not go out with 4 other mothers, once a week, to hear about the latest new. We generally meet at Carlucci (which is in LINCOLNSHIRE, IL) as that is pretty central for all of us. Last month was particularly interesting because we chatted about organic baby clothing. I have been feeding my baby boy organic meals from day one but I had never thought about purchasing organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most widely grown plants in America and one of the most devastating to the habitat and to farmers. The run off from non-organic cotton farms has destroyed the environment and especially water ways. Organic products are grown without the need for artificial fertilisers and pesticides. Rather, organic farming depends on things like crop rotation, enhancing soils naturally, and using eco friendly pest control methods.

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

Benefits of Organic Baby Clothing

Getting 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 contamination of our habitat. No or a reduction in the use of insecticides and synthetic fertilisers means less pollution of our farms and rivers, fewer health problems for farm workers, and fewer health risks for our babies and children by reducing their contact with potentially dangerous chemicals.

A number of makers of baby clothes also make a range of organic items or you can find companies entirely devoted to organic baby fashion. Either way, there are a lot of brands to choose from and all ages are taken care of, from infants to older children. Obviously, organic clothes for men and women is also available and I am looking into that for myself and my man.

I am not saying that I am just going to get organic cotton or bamboo clothes (which is a great alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my baby but I am absolutely going try to whenever it is available.
