Back before I had my baby, I had not believed I would belong to a mothers group. Anyhow, now that I am finally a mother, talking to other mothers about what is going on in my life has been a huge help. We discuss how we bring up our children, what to do and not to do, we share recipes, and we like to discuss the latest baby fashions we have purchased.

I usually meet with 4 other women, once a fortnight, to hear about the latest happenings. We often meet at Sunshine Garden Cafe - Restaurant (which is in PENSACOLA, FL) as that is pretty central for all of us. Last week was really interesting as we chatted about organic baby clothing. I have been providing my baby girl organic meals from the beginning but I had not considered getting organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most popular products in the US and one of the most devastating to the ecosystem and to farm workers. The run off from these farms has damaged ecosystems and particularly water ways. Organic products are made without the use of artificial fertilisers and insecticides. Alternatively, organic farming relies on things like crop rotation, raising the quality of soils naturally, and using organic pest control methods.

You can get organic cotton baby clothing online from a number of shops. Sckoon has some gorgeous organic baby clothes.

Benefits of Organic Baby Clothing

Getting organic produce means you are getting produce which have been produced in an eco friendly manner, or at a minimum in a way which causes less pollution of soils and waterways. No or less use of pesticides and synthetic fertilisers means less pollution of our soils and waterways, reduced health problems for farm workers, and fewer health risks for our children by lessening their contact with toxic chemicals.

Many wholesalers of baby clothes also make a range of organic clothes or you can find companies solely committed to organic baby clothes. Either way, there are a lot of marks to choose from and all ages are provided for, from babies to teenagers. Naturally, organic clothes for men and women is also accessible and I am looking into that for myself and my man.

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 children but I am absolutely going try to whenever it is available.
