Before I had my first child, I never believed I would join a mothers group. However, now that I am a mum, talking to other mothers about what is happening in my life has been a huge help. We chat about how we deal with our children, what to do and not to do, we share recipes, and we love to discuss the newest baby fashions we have bought.

I usually go out with 3 other mothers, once a week, to catch up on the latest new. We generally meet at Patticakes Inc (which is in NEW PORT RICHEY, FL) as that is pretty central for all of us. Last time was more eye opening as we talked about organic baby clothes. I have been providing my baby organic food from the start but I had never thought about getting organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most broadly grown plants in the world and one of the most ruinous to the ecosystem and to farm employees. The run off from cotton farms has damaged the environment and particularly water ways. Organic cotton is produced without the need for artificial fertilisers and insecticides. Alternatively, organic farming depends upon things like crop rotation, raising the quality of soils naturally, and using organic pest control techniques.

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

Benefits of Organic Clothing

Purchasing organic produce means you are purchasing clothes which have been produced in an environmentally friendly manner, or at least in a way which causes less pollution of the environment. No or a reduction in the use of herbicides and synthetic fertilisers means less pollution of our farms and lakes, less diseases for farm employees, and fewer health risks for children by reducing their contact with dangerous chemicals.

Several makers of baby clothes also make a range of organic clothes or you can find companies entirely devoted to organic baby clothes. Thankfully, there are a lot of brands to choose from and all ages are provided for, from babies to older children. Of course, organic fashion for men and women is also obtainable and I am looking into that for myself and my husband.

I would not go as far to say that I am just going to buy organic cotton or bamboo clothes (which is an amazing alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my baby but I am without a doubt going try to whenever possible.
