Back before I had my first child, I never believed I would be part of a mothers group. Anyhow, now that I am finally a new mother, chatting to other parents about what is taking place in my life has benefited me immensely. We discuss how we raise our children, what to do and not to do, we share baby food recipes, and we enjoy being able to talk about the newest baby outfits we have bought.

I more often than not get together with 3 other parents, once a week, to hear about the latest happenings. We generally meet at Mahogany Rose (which is in MONROE, GA) as that is quite central for all of us. Last time was really exciting because we chatted about organic baby clothing. I have been feeding 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 crops in the US and one of the most devastating to the ecosystem and to farm workers. The run off from non-organic cotton farms has destroyed ecosystems and especially water bodies. Organic produce is made without the need for artificial fertilisers and insecticides. Rather, organic farming depends upon things like crop rotation, improving soils naturally, and using organic insect control techniques.

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

Benefits of Organic Baby Clothing

Purchasing organic produce means you are getting products 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 less use of pesticides and fertilizers means less pollution of our farms and waterways, fewer health problems for farm workers, and fewer health risks for our children by reducing their contact with potentially dangerous chemicals.

Quite a few producers of baby clothes also sell a range of organic items or you can find wholesalers completely dedicated to organic baby clothing. Anyway, there are a lot of marks to choose from and all ages are provided for, from babies to adolescents. Naturally, organic clothes for men and women is also accessible and I am looking into that for myself and my husband.

I am not saying that I am only ever going to get organic cotton or bamboo cotton clothing (which is an amazing alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my children but I am absolutely going try to whenever I can.
