Back before I had my first child, I never imagined I would join a mothers group. Anyhow, now that I have become a new mother, talking to other parents about what is going on in my life has really helped me. We talk about how we raise our children, what to do and not to do, we share baby food recipes, and we enjoy being able to discuss the newest baby outfits we have bought.

I usually get together with 2 other women, once a week, to hear about the latest happenings. We generally meet at Pizza Magia (which is in LOUISVILLE, KY) as that is pretty central for all of us. Last time was really exciting seeing we discussed organic baby clothing. I have been giving my baby boy organic meals from the beginning but I had not considered getting organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most widely grown plants in the US and one of the most ruinous to the environment and to farm workers. The run off from cotton farms has damaged habitats and in particular water ways. Organic cotton is produced without using artificial fertilisers and insecticides. Rather, organic farming relies on things like crop rotation, enhancing soils naturally, and using eco friendly pest control practices.

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

Benefits of Organic Baby Clothing

Purchasing organic clothing means you are getting produce which have been produced in an environmentally friendly manner, or at the very least in a way which causes less damage to our habitat. No or reduced use of insecticides and fertilizers means less pollution of our soils and rivers, reduced diseases for farmers, and fewer health risks for children by moderating their contact with dangerous chemicals.

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

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