Back before I had my children, I never really thought I would belong to a mothers group. Anyhow, now that I have become a mother, being able to talk to other women 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 baby food recipes, and we love to chat about the newest baby fashions we have bought.

I generally meet with 3 other mothers, once a fortnight, to find out the latest new. We often meet at Towne House Tavern & Restaurant (which is in RAHWAY, NJ) as that is pretty central for all of us. Last month was really exciting seeing we discussed baby clothes. I have been giving my baby boy organic meals from day one but I had not considered getting organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most broadly grown crops in America and one of the most devastating to the environment and to farm workers. The run off from these farms has destroyed habitats and in particular water ways. Organic products are grown without the use of artificial fertilisers and chemicals. Rather, organic farming depends on things like crop rotation, improving soils naturally, and using organic insect control practices.

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

Benefits of Choosing Organic Products

Purchasing organic products means you are purchasing produce which have been produced in an eco friendly manner, or at the very least in a way which causes less contamination of soils and waterways. No or reduced use of insecticides and fertilizers means less pollution of our land and waterways, reduced cancers for farm workers, and fewer health risks for our children by lessening their contact with potentially dangerous chemicals.

Many wholesalers of baby clothes also sell a range of organic clothing or you can find retailers entirely dedicated to organic baby clothes. Either way, there are a lot of marks to choose from and all ages are taken care of, from infants to adolescents. Naturally, organic clothing for men and women is also available and I am looking into that for myself and my man.

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