Before I had my first child, I had not imagined I would join a mothers group. Anyhow, now that I am finally a new mother, chatting to other parents about what is going on in my life has really helped me. We talk about how we raise our children, what to do and not to do, we share baby food recipes, and we enjoy being able to discuss the latest baby outfits we have bought.

I more often than not go out with 4 other women, once a week, to catch up on the latest new. We usually meet at Grinder Subs Santee (which is in SANTEE, CA) as that is quite central for all of us. Last month was really exciting because we talked about organic baby clothing. I have been providing my baby organic meals from the beginning but I had not considered buying organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most widely grown crops in America and one of the most harmful to the habitat and to farmers. The run off from cotton farms has damaged ecosystems and particularly water ways. Organic cotton is made without the use of artificial fertilisers and chemicals. Rather, organic farming relies on things like crop rotation, improving soils naturally, and using organic pest control techniques.

You can buy soft organic cotton baby clothes online from a number of shops. Sckoon has some of the cutest organic baby clothes.

Benefits of Choosing Organic Products

Purchasing organic products means you are buying products which have been produced in an eco-friendly manner, or at the very least in a way which causes less damage to soils and waterways. No or a reduction in the use of pesticides and fertilizers means less pollution of our soils and waterways, less cancers for farm workers, and fewer health risks for our children by moderating their contact with dangerous chemicals.

A number of retailers of baby clothes also make a range of organic clothing or you can find wholesalers entirely devoted to organic baby fashion. Either way, there are a lot of designs to choose from and all ages are provided for, from toddlers to adolescents. Of course, organic clothes for men and women is also available and I am looking into that for myself and my husband.

I am not saying that I am only going to get organic cotton or bamboo clothing (which is a good alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my child but I am most definitely going try to whenever it is available.
