Before I had my first child, I had not imagined I would belong to a mothers group. Anyhow, now that I am finally a mother, chatting to other parents about what is taking place in my life has really helped me. We discuss how we raise our children, what to do and not to do, we share meal plans, and we love to chat about the most recent baby fashions we have picked up.

I usually meet with 4 other parents, once a week, to hear about the latest new. We usually meet at Marinos Pizzeria (which is in LYONS FALLS, NY) as that is pretty central for all of us. Last time was more eye opening as we talked about baby clothes. I have been giving my baby boy organic food from day one but I had not considered purchasing organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most popular plants in America and one of the most harmful to the ecosystem and to farmers. The run off from these farms has damaged the environment and especially water ways. Organic produce is produced without the use of artificial fertilisers and insecticides. Alternatively, organic farming relies on things like crop rotation, raising the quality of soils naturally, and using organic insect control methods.

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

Benefits of Organic Clothing

Getting organic produce means you are purchasing products which have been produced in an eco friendly manner, or at the very least in a way which causes less pollution of our habitat. No or a reduction in the use of herbicides and synthetic fertilisers means less pollution of our farms and lakes, less health problems for farmers, and fewer health risks for children by moderating their contact with dangerous chemicals.

Quite a few producers of baby clothes also produce a range of organic clothes or you can find shops completely devoted to organic baby fashion. Either way, there are a lot of marks to choose from and all ages are provided for, from babies to teenagers. Obviously, organic clothes for men and women is also obtainable and I am looking into that for myself and my partner.

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