Before I had my children, I never believed I would join a mothers group. Be that as it may, now that I am a mum, being able to talk to other parents about what is taking place in my life has benefited me immensely. We discuss how we deal with our children, what to do and not to do, we share baby food recipes, and we like to chat about the most recent baby fashions we have bought.

I generally go out with 2 other women, once a fortnight, to find out the latest new. We often meet at Hillarys Poboys (which is in MOSS POINT, MS) as that is fairly central for all of us. Last week was really eye opening seeing we talked about organic baby clothes. I have been providing my baby boy organic meals from day one but I had not considered buying organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most popular plants in the US and one of the most harmful to the ecosystem and to farm employees. The run off from non-organic cotton farms has ruined the environment and particularly water supplies. Organic cotton is grown without the use of artificial fertilisers and chemicals. Instead, organic farming depends on things like crop rotation, raising the quality of soils naturally, and using organic pest control practices.

You can get soft organic cotton baby clothing online from a number of shops. Sckoon is my favourite for organic baby clothes.

Benefits of Organic Baby Clothing

Getting organic clothes 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 reduced use of insecticides and fertilisers means less pollution of our soils and lakes, reduced diseases for farm employees, and fewer health risks for our children by reducing their contact with dangerous chemicals.

A number of producers of baby clothes also produce a range of organic clothes or you can find wholesalers solely dedicated to organic baby clothes. Either way, there are a lot of brands to choose from and all ages are taken care of, from infants to teenagers. Obviously, organic clothing for men and women is also available and I am looking into that for myself and my partner.

I do not think that I am only going to purchase organic cotton or bamboo clothing (which is a good alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my children but I am most definitely going try to whenever it is available.
