Back before I had my first child, I never imagined I would join a mothers group. However, now that I am a mum, talking to other parents about what is taking place in my life has really helped me. We talk about how we deal with our children, what to do and not to do, we share meal plans, and we love to discuss the latest baby outfits we have picked up.

I generally go out with 2 other mothers, once a week, to find out the latest gossip. We usually meet at Palatine Inn Restaurant (which is in PALATINE, IL) as that is fairly central for all of us. Last month was really exciting because we chatted about baby clothes. I have been giving my baby boy organic meals from the beginning but it had never crossed my mind to buying organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most popular plants in the world and one of the most devastating to the environment and to farmers. The run off from these farms has damaged habitats and especially water ways. Organic products are made without using artificial fertilisers and chemicals. Instead, organic farming depends upon things like crop rotation, improving soils naturally, and using organic insect control practices.

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

Benefits of Organic Baby Clothing

Getting organic produce means you are getting products which have been produced in an eco friendly manner, or at a minimum in a way which causes less damage to soils and waterways. No or reduced use of insecticides and fertilizers means less pollution of our land and lakes, fewer diseases for farm employees, and fewer health risks for our children by lessening their contact with toxic chemicals.

Several producers of baby clothes also sell a range of organic items or you can find shops entirely dedicated to organic baby clothes. Either way, there are a lot of designs to choose from and all ages are provided for, from infants to older children. Obviously, organic clothes for men and women is also accessible and I am looking into that for myself and my partner.

I would not go as far to say that I am just going to buy organic cotton or bamboo clothing (which is an excellent alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my child but I am most definitely going try to whenever it is available.
