Long before I had my baby, I never believed I would be part of a mothers group. However, now that I am finally a mother, chatting to other parents about what is happening 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 recipes, and we like to talk about the latest baby fashions we have picked up.

I generally get together with 2 other mothers, once a fortnight, to find out the latest gossip. We usually meet at Shakers Restaurants (which is in SOUTH PASADENA, CA) as that is pretty central for all of us. Last month was particularly exciting because we chatted about organic baby clothes. I have been feeding my baby boy organic produce from the start but I had never thought about purchasing organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most broadly grown crops in America and one of the most ruinous to the habitat and to farm employees. The run off from non-organic cotton farms has damaged the environment and in particular water bodies. Organic cotton is grown without using artificial fertilisers and insecticides. Alternatively, organic farming depends upon things like crop rotation, enhancing soils naturally, and using eco friendly pest control practices.

You can get organic cotton baby clothes online from a number of retailers. Sckoon has some gorgeous organic baby clothing.

Benefits of Choosing Organic Products

Buying organic clothing means you are purchasing produce which have been produced in an eco-friendly manner, or at a minimum in a way which causes less contamination of our habitat. No or reduced use of insecticides and fertilisers means less pollution of our land and rivers, reduced health problems for farm workers, and fewer health risks for our babies and children by lessening their contact with toxic chemicals.

Many makers of baby clothes also sell a range of organic clothes or you can find wholesalers completely devoted to organic baby clothes. Either way, there are a lot of marks to choose from and all ages are taken care of, from babies to older children. Of course, organic clothing 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 ever going to get organic cotton or bamboo cotton clothing (which is an amazing alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my children but I am without a doubt going try to whenever it is available.
