Back before I had my first child, I never really believed I would be part of a mothers group. Anyhow, now that I have become a new mother, chatting to other parents about what is going on in my life has been a huge help. We discuss how we raise our children, what to do and not to do, we share baby food recipes, and we love to chat about the most recent baby fashions we have purchased.

I usually go out with 2 other women, once a fortnight, to find out the latest happenings. We usually meet at Paradise Pizza Inc (which is in LITTLETON, CO) as that is quite central for all of us. Last month was particularly eye opening as we chatted about organic baby clothes. I have been giving my baby organic meals from the beginning but it had never crossed my mind to getting organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most broadly grown crops in America and one of the most ruinous to the habitat and to farm workers. The run off from non-organic cotton farms has destroyed habitats and particularly water supplies. Organic produce is grown without using artificial fertilisers and insecticides. Alternatively, organic farming depends on things like crop rotation, raising the quality of soils naturally, and using eco friendly pest control techniques.

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

Benefits of Choosing Organic Products

Buying organic produce 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 contamination of our habitat. No or a reduction in the use of pesticides and fertilisers means less pollution of our land and waterways, fewer diseases for farmers, and fewer health risks for children by reducing their contact with potentially dangerous chemicals.

A number of retailers of baby clothes also produce a range of organic clothes or you can find wholesalers solely committed to organic baby fashion. Either way, there are a lot of brands to choose from and all ages are catered for, from infants to adolescents. Obviously, organic clothes for men and women is also obtainable and I am looking into that for myself and my partner.

I do not think that I am only going to purchase organic cotton or bamboo cotton clothing (which is a fantastic alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my children but I am absolutely going try to whenever it is available.
