Back before I had my first child, I never really imagined I would belong to a mothers group. Be that as it may, now that I am finally a mum, talking to other women about what is going on in my life has really helped me. We chat about how we deal with our children, what to do and not to do, we share meal plans, and we like to talk about the latest baby clothes we have bought.

I more often than not meet with 4 other women, once a month, to find out the latest happenings. We generally meet at Anchorage Tavern Restaurant (which is in SOMERS POINT, NJ) as that is quite central for all of us. Last week was more exciting seeing we chatted about organic baby clothing. I have been feeding my baby boy organic food from day one but I had not considered buying organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most widely grown products in the world and one of the most harmful to the ecosystem and to farm employees. The run off from non-organic cotton farms has damaged habitats and especially water ways. Organic cotton is made without the need for artificial fertilisers and insecticides. Instead, organic farming depends upon things like crop rotation, improving soils naturally, and using organic pest control practices.

You can purchase organic cotton baby clothes online from a number of retailers. Sckoon has some of the cutest organic baby clothing.

Benefits of Organic Clothing

Purchasing organic products 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 less use of herbicides and fertilisers means less pollution of our soils and lakes, fewer diseases for farmers, and fewer health risks for our babies and children by moderating their contact with dangerous chemicals.

Quite a few producers of baby clothes also produce a range of organic items or you can find wholesalers entirely dedicated to organic baby fashion. Thankfully, there are a lot of marks to choose from and all ages are taken care of, from toddlers to older children. Obviously, organic clothes for men and women is also obtainable and I am looking into that for myself and my husband.

I do not think that I am only going to purchase organic cotton or bamboo cotton clothing (which is an excellent alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my baby but I am definitely going try to whenever I can.
