Back before I had my baby, I never thought I would be part of a mothers group. Anyhow, now that I am a new mother, being able to talk to other women about what is taking place in my life has been a huge help. We chat about how we bring up our children, what to do and not to do, we share recipes, and we like to discuss the latest baby outfits we have bought.

I more often than not get together with 2 other mothers, once a month, to catch up on the latest new. We generally meet at Lorenzo Cafeteria (which is in MIAMI, FL) as that is fairly central for all of us. Last week was more eye opening as we discussed organic baby clothes. I have been providing my baby girl organic meals from the start but it had never crossed my mind to buying organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most widely grown plants in America and one of the most harmful to the ecosystem and to farm employees. The run off from these farms has destroyed the environment and especially water bodies. Organic products are grown without the need for artificial fertilisers and pesticides. Instead, organic farming relies on things like crop rotation, enhancing soils naturally, and using organic insect control methods.

You can purchase soft organic cotton baby clothing online from a number of stores. Sckoon has some gorgeous organic baby apparel.

Benefits of Organic Baby Clothing

Getting organic clothing means you are buying 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 less use of pesticides and fertilisers means less pollution of our land and rivers, less cancers for farm workers, and fewer health risks for our children by lessening their contact with potentially dangerous chemicals.

A number of producers of baby clothes also sell a range of organic items or you can find shops entirely devoted to organic baby fashion. Anyway, there are a lot of designs to choose from and all ages are taken care of, from toddlers to older children. Of course, 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 great alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my child but I am definitely going try to whenever it is available.
