Back before I had my children, I never thought I would join a mothers group. Anyhow, now that I am a mother, talking to other parents about what is going on in my life has been a huge help. We chat about how we raise our children, what to do and not to do, we share recipes, and we love to discuss the newest baby fashions we have picked up.

I generally go out with 3 other women, once a fortnight, to find out the latest happenings. We usually meet at Sammy's Pizza (which is in MUNCY, PA) as that is quite central for all of us. Last time was more eye opening seeing we talked about organic baby clothing. I have been feeding my baby boy organic produce from the beginning but it had never crossed my mind to getting organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most broadly grown plants in the world and one of the most harmful to the habitat and to farm workers. The run off from cotton farms has destroyed ecosystems and in particular water supplies. Organic produce is made without the need for artificial fertilisers and insecticides. Rather, organic farming depends on things like crop rotation, enhancing soils naturally, and using organic insect control practices.

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

Benefits of Organic Clothing

Getting organic clothing means you are buying products which have been produced in an environmentally friendly manner, or at the very least in a way which causes less damage to the environment. No or reduced use of insecticides and fertilizers means less pollution of our farms and rivers, fewer health problems for farm workers, and fewer health risks for children by moderating their contact with toxic chemicals.

Several retailers of baby clothes also make a range of organic clothing or you can find wholesalers entirely committed to organic baby clothes. Anyway, there are a lot of marks to choose from and all ages are provided for, from infants to older children. Of course, 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 going to get organic cotton or bamboo clothing (which is a fantastic alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my baby but I am without a doubt going try to whenever it is available.
