Long before I had my children, I never thought I would join a mothers group. Be that as it may, now that I am finally a mum, chatting to other mothers about what is taking place in my life has really helped me. We talk about how we bring up our children, what to do and not to do, we share recipes, and we like to chat about the newest baby clothes we have picked up.

I usually go out with 2 other women, once a fortnight, to catch up on the latest new. We generally meet at Coral Beach Cantina (which is in MALIBU, CA) as that is fairly central for all of us. Last week was really exciting as we chatted about organic baby clothes. I have been providing my baby boy organic produce from the start but I had not considered buying organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most broadly grown products in America and one of the most ruinous to the habitat and to farm employees. The run off from cotton farms has ruined ecosystems and in particular water ways. Organic produce is made without the need for artificial fertilisers and pesticides. Alternatively, organic farming relies on things like crop rotation, enhancing soils naturally, and using organic insect control practices.

You can buy organic baby clothing online from a number of shops. Sckoon has some of the cutest organic baby clothing.

Benefits of Choosing Organic Products

Purchasing organic clothing means you are buying clothes 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 insecticides and fertilizers means less pollution of our soils and rivers, fewer diseases for farmers, and fewer health risks for our children by moderating their contact with potentially dangerous chemicals.

A number of wholesalers of baby clothes also produce a range of organic clothing or you can find designers completely dedicated to organic baby clothes. Thankfully, there are a lot of designs to choose from and all ages are taken care of, from babies to teenagers. Obviously, organic fashion for men and women is also available and I am looking into that for myself and my man.

I do not think that I am only ever going to buy organic cotton or bamboo cotton clothing (which is a good alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my child but I am most definitely going try to whenever I can.
