Long before I had my baby, I never really believed I would join a mothers group. Anyhow, now that I am finally a mother, talking to other mothers about what is taking place in my life has benefited me immensely. We talk about how we bring up our children, what to do and not to do, we share meal plans, and we like to discuss the latest baby clothes we have picked up.

I usually get together with 2 other parents, once a week, to catch up on the latest happenings. We usually meet at Dragon Chinese Restaurant (which is in SOUTH OZONE PARK, NY) as that is fairly central for all of us. Last week was really exciting because we discussed organic baby clothing. I have been feeding my baby organic produce from day one but I had not considered purchasing organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most popular plants in the US and one of the most ruinous to the habitat and to farm workers. The run off from cotton farms has destroyed the environment and in particular water ways. Organic cotton is grown without using artificial fertilisers and chemicals. Rather, organic farming depends upon things like crop rotation, improving soils naturally, and using organic pest control methods.

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

Benefits of Choosing Organic Products

Purchasing organic clothes means you are getting clothes which have been produced in an eco friendly manner, or at least in a way which causes less contamination of the environment. No or reduced use of pesticides and synthetic fertilisers means less pollution of our soils and lakes, reduced diseases for farm employees, and fewer health risks for our children by moderating their contact with potentially dangerous chemicals.

Many retailers of baby clothes also produce a range of organic clothing or you can find retailers entirely dedicated to organic baby fashion. Thankfully, there are a lot of marks to choose from and all ages are catered for, from babies to teenagers. Of course, organic fashion for men and women is also accessible and I am looking into that for myself and my man.

I do not think that I am just going to buy organic cotton or bamboo clothing (which is an amazing alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my children but I am definitely going try to whenever I can.
