Back before I had my children, I never really imagined I would join a mothers group. Anyhow, now that I am a new mother, being able to talk to other parents about what is happening in my life has benefited me immensely. We discuss how we raise our children, what to do and not to do, we share recipes, and we like to discuss the latest baby fashions we have picked up.

I more often than not get together with 4 other parents, once a fortnight, to find out the latest new. We often meet at Bahamas Breeze (which is in SCHAUMBURG, IL) as that is fairly central for all of us. Last time was really interesting because we talked about organic baby clothes. I have been providing my baby girl organic meals from the start but it had never crossed my mind to buying organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most broadly grown products in the US and one of the most ruinous to the ecosystem and to farmers. The run off from cotton farms has destroyed the environment and especially water bodies. Organic produce is produced without the use of artificial fertilisers and pesticides. Alternatively, organic farming depends on things like crop rotation, raising the quality of soils naturally, and using organic pest control techniques.

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

Benefits of Organic Baby Clothing

Purchasing organic produce means you are getting clothes which have been produced in an eco friendly manner, or at least in a way which causes less damage to soils and waterways. No or reduced use of herbicides and fertilisers means less pollution of our soils and rivers, less cancers for farm employees, and fewer health risks for our children by moderating their contact with dangerous chemicals.

A number of makers of baby clothes also produce a range of organic clothing or you can find stores completely devoted to organic baby clothing. Either way, there are a lot of marks to choose from and all ages are provided for, from babies to adolescents. Of course, organic clothing for men and women is also accessible and I am looking into that for myself and my man.

I would not go as far to say that I am only ever going to purchase organic cotton or bamboo clothes (which is a great alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my child but I am without a doubt going try to whenever possible.
