Back before I had my first child, I never imagined I would join a mothers group. However, now that I am finally a new mother, chatting to other parents about what is taking place 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 meal plans, and we enjoy being able to chat about the most recent baby clothes we have picked up.

I more often than not go out with 4 other parents, once a week, to hear about the latest happenings. We usually meet at Greyhound Food Service (which is in OMAHA, NE) as that is pretty central for all of us. Last month was particularly exciting because we chatted about organic baby clothes. I have been providing my baby girl organic food from day one but I had not considered buying organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most widely grown crops in the US and one of the most harmful to the ecosystem and to farmers. The run off from these farms has ruined habitats and particularly water bodies. Organic products are grown without using artificial fertilisers and insecticides. Alternatively, organic farming depends upon things like crop rotation, improving soils naturally, and using eco friendly pest control techniques.

You can purchase organic baby clothes online from a number of stores. Sckoon has some of the cutest organic baby apparel.

Benefits of Organic Clothing

Purchasing organic products means you are purchasing produce which have been produced in an eco-friendly manner, or at least in a way which causes less contamination of our habitat. No or reduced use of insecticides and synthetic fertilisers means less pollution of our soils and lakes, fewer diseases for farm workers, and fewer health risks for our children by reducing their contact with potentially dangerous chemicals.

Many wholesalers of baby clothes also produce a range of organic clothes or you can find designers entirely devoted to organic baby clothes. Anyway, there are a lot of marks to choose from and all ages are provided for, from babies to older children. Naturally, organic fashion for men and women is also obtainable and I am looking into that for myself and my partner.

I am not saying that I am only going to purchase organic cotton or bamboo clothes (which is a fantastic alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my child but I am most definitely going try to whenever possible.
