Back before I had my children, I had not believed I would join a mothers group. Anyhow, now that I have become a mum, chatting to other parents about what is going on in my life has been a huge help. We discuss how we bring up our children, what to do and not to do, we share baby food recipes, and we love to talk about the newest baby fashions we have purchased.

I more often than not meet with 4 other parents, once a week, to hear about the latest new. We often meet at Koffee KUP (which is in LINNEUS, MO) as that is quite central for all of us. Last month was particularly eye opening as we discussed organic baby clothes. I have been providing my baby girl organic meals from the start but I had never thought about buying organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most widely grown crops in the world and one of the most harmful to the habitat and to farmers. The run off from cotton farms has damaged the environment and especially water ways. Organic cotton is produced without using artificial fertilisers and insecticides. Rather, organic farming depends upon things like crop rotation, raising the quality of soils naturally, and using organic insect control techniques.

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

Benefits of Choosing Organic Products

Purchasing organic products means you are buying clothes which have been produced in an environmentally friendly manner, or at least in a way which causes less damage to the environment. No or less use of insecticides and fertilisers means less pollution of our farms and rivers, reduced health problems for farm workers, and fewer health risks for our children by lessening their contact with potentially dangerous chemicals.

Quite a few makers of baby clothes also sell a range of organic items or you can find stores completely dedicated to organic baby fashion. Thankfully, there are a lot of brands to choose from and all ages are catered for, from infants to adolescents. Naturally, organic fashion for men and women is also accessible and I am looking into that for myself and my partner.

I would not go as far to say that I am only ever going to purchase organic cotton or bamboo clothing (which is a good alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my children but I am without a doubt going try to whenever I can.
