Back before I had my first child, I never really imagined I would belong to a mothers group. Anyhow, now that I am a mum, chatting to other women 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 recipes, and we enjoy being able to talk about the most recent baby clothes we have purchased.

I usually get together with 4 other parents, once a fortnight, to find out the latest happenings. We generally meet at Dragon Island (which is in MALDEN, MA) as that is fairly central for all of us. Last time was particularly eye opening as we discussed organic baby clothes. I have been providing my baby organic produce from day one but I had never thought about buying organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most broadly grown plants in the US and one of the most ruinous to the habitat and to farm employees. The run off from cotton farms has damaged the environment and especially water ways. Organic produce is grown without the use of artificial fertilisers and insecticides. Instead, organic farming relies on things like crop rotation, raising the quality of soils naturally, and using organic pest control practices.

You can purchase organic cotton baby apparel online from a number of shops. Sckoon has some of the cutest organic baby apparel.

Benefits of Choosing Organic Products

Buying organic produce means you are getting produce which have been produced in an eco friendly manner, or at least in a way which causes less contamination of soils and waterways. No or reduced use of herbicides and synthetic fertilisers means less pollution of our land and waterways, less cancers for farm workers, and fewer health risks for our children by lessening their contact with dangerous chemicals.

Quite a few retailers of baby clothes also make a range of organic clothing or you can find wholesalers completely devoted to organic baby clothing. Either way, there are a lot of brands to choose from and all ages are taken care of, from babies to older children. Naturally, organic fashion for men and women is also accessible and I am looking into that for myself and my man.

I would not go as far to say that I am just going to get organic cotton or bamboo clothes (which is an excellent alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my child but I am most definitely going try to whenever I can.
