Long before I had my first child, I had not believed I would belong to a mothers group. Be that as it may, now that I am a mum, talking to other women about what is happening in my life has benefited me immensely. We discuss how we bring up our children, what to do and not to do, we share recipes, and we like to chat about the most recent baby clothes we have bought.

I usually meet with 3 other mothers, once a week, to catch up on the latest gossip. We usually meet at Petti's Pizza (which is in MENTOR, OH) as that is quite central for all of us. Last month was more exciting seeing we chatted about organic baby clothing. I have been giving my baby girl organic meals from the start but I had not considered getting organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most broadly grown products in the US and one of the most ruinous to the habitat and to farm workers. The run off from cotton farms has destroyed habitats and especially water bodies. Organic produce is produced without using artificial fertilisers and chemicals. Rather, organic farming relies on things like crop rotation, improving soils naturally, and using organic insect control techniques.

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

Benefits of Organic Clothing

Buying organic clothes means you are getting clothes which have been produced in an environmentally friendly manner, or at least in a way which causes less damage to our habitat. No or a reduction in the use of insecticides and fertilisers means less pollution of our farms and lakes, reduced health problems for farm employees, and fewer health risks for children by lessening their contact with dangerous chemicals.

Quite a few producers of baby clothes also produce a range of organic clothes or you can find shops solely dedicated to organic baby clothing. Anyway, there are a lot of brands to choose from and all ages are taken care of, from toddlers to teenagers. Naturally, organic clothes for men and women is also obtainable and I am looking into that for myself and my man.

I would not go as far to say that I am only ever going to get organic cotton or bamboo clothing (which is a good alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my child but I am definitely going try to whenever it is available.
