Back before I had my first child, I never really believed I would belong to a mothers group. Anyhow, now that I have become a new mother, talking to other women about what is taking place in my life has been a huge help. We chat about how we bring up our children, what to do and not to do, we share meal plans, and we enjoy being able to talk about the newest baby clothes we have bought.

I generally go out with 2 other parents, once a week, to find out the latest new. We generally meet at Baskin Robbins Cakes & Ice Cream (which is in RIVERSIDE, CA) as that is fairly central for all of us. Last week was particularly eye opening as we chatted about organic baby clothes. I have been providing my baby organic produce from the beginning but I had never thought about purchasing organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most popular crops in the US and one of the most harmful to the ecosystem and to farm workers. The run off from non-organic cotton farms has destroyed the environment and especially water bodies. Organic produce is produced without using artificial fertilisers and chemicals. Alternatively, organic farming relies on things like crop rotation, enhancing soils naturally, and using eco friendly pest control methods.

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

Benefits of Organic Clothing

Buying organic produce means you are buying 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 reduced use of pesticides and fertilizers means less pollution of our soils and rivers, reduced health problems for farmers, and fewer health risks for our babies and children by moderating their contact with potentially dangerous chemicals.

Quite a few makers of baby clothes also produce a range of organic items or you can find retailers solely devoted to organic baby clothing. Thankfully, there are a lot of brands to choose from and all ages are taken care of, from babies to adolescents. Obviously, organic clothes 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 baby but I am without a doubt going try to whenever I can.
