Long before I had my baby, I had not imagined I would join a mothers group. However, now that I am finally a new mother, talking to other mothers about what is going on in my life has been a huge help. We talk about how we raise our children, what to do and not to do, we share baby food recipes, and we love to chat about the most recent baby outfits we have bought.

I usually go out with 2 other mothers, once a month, to hear about the latest new. We generally meet at Santino's Pizza Etc (which is in NEPTUNE, NJ) as that is fairly central for all of us. Last time was more eye opening as we discussed organic baby clothes. I have been providing my baby organic meals from the start but I had not considered buying organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most widely grown products in the world and one of the most ruinous to the environment and to farmers. The run off from cotton farms has destroyed ecosystems and in particular water bodies. Organic products are produced without the use of artificial fertilisers and pesticides. Rather, organic farming depends on things like crop rotation, raising the quality of soils naturally, and using organic insect control methods.

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

Benefits of Organic Baby Clothing

Getting organic clothes means you are buying produce which have been produced in an eco-friendly manner, or at least in a way which causes less damage to the environment. No or reduced use of herbicides and fertilizers means less pollution of our land and waterways, reduced diseases for farm workers, and fewer health risks for our children by reducing their contact with potentially dangerous chemicals.

A number of makers of baby clothes also sell a range of organic clothes or you can find wholesalers solely devoted to organic baby clothing. Either way, there are a lot of designs to choose from and all ages are taken care of, from toddlers to teenagers. Of course, organic fashion for men and women is also available and I am looking into that for myself and my partner.

I am not saying that I am just going to get organic cotton or bamboo clothing (which is a good alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my children but I am without a doubt going try to whenever I can.
