Before I had my children, I had not imagined I would join a mothers group. Be that as it may, now that I am finally a mum, chatting to other mothers about what is happening in my life has really helped me. We discuss how we raise our children, what to do and not to do, we share recipes, and we enjoy being able to chat about the newest baby clothes we have picked up.

I generally meet with 2 other women, once a week, to find out the latest happenings. We often meet at Happy Chinese Restaurant (which is in OCEAN CITY, MD) as that is pretty central for all of us. Last time was particularly exciting as we talked about organic baby clothing. I have been feeding my baby boy organic meals from day one but I had never thought about purchasing organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most popular crops in the world and one of the most ruinous to the ecosystem and to farm workers. The run off from cotton farms has destroyed the environment and especially water ways. Organic products are made without the use of artificial fertilisers and pesticides. Instead, organic farming relies on things like crop rotation, raising the quality of soils naturally, and using eco friendly pest control techniques.

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

Benefits of Organic Clothing

Getting organic clothing means you are getting products which have been produced in an environmentally friendly manner, or at the very least in a way which causes less pollution of our habitat. No or a reduction in the use of pesticides and fertilizers means less pollution of our farms and waterways, reduced diseases for farm employees, and fewer health risks for our children by reducing their contact with toxic chemicals.

Several producers of baby clothes also sell a range of organic clothes or you can find wholesalers solely devoted to organic baby clothes. Anyway, there are a lot of designs to choose from and all ages are provided for, from infants to older children. Of course, organic clothing for men and women is also accessible and I am looking into that for myself and my partner.

I am not saying that I am just going to buy organic cotton or bamboo clothing (which is a great alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my child but I am absolutely going try to whenever I can.
