Back before I had my baby, I never really thought I would be part of a mothers group. However, now that I am finally a new mother, talking to other parents about what is going on in my life has benefited me immensely. We discuss how we bring up our children, what to do and not to do, we share meal plans, and we enjoy being able to talk about the newest baby fashions we have purchased.

I generally meet with 4 other mothers, once a fortnight, to find out the latest happenings. We often meet at Kennys Barbecue (which is in STERLING, VA) as that is quite central for all of us. Last time was really eye opening seeing we chatted about organic baby clothing. I have been providing my baby organic produce from the beginning but I had never thought about getting organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most broadly grown crops in the world and one of the most ruinous to the ecosystem and to farm workers. The run off from these farms has damaged the environment and particularly water supplies. Organic products are grown without the use of artificial fertilisers and pesticides. Alternatively, organic farming relies on things like crop rotation, raising the quality of soils naturally, and using organic insect control methods.

You can buy organic baby clothing online from a number of shops. Sckoon has some beautiful organic baby clothes.

Benefits of Organic Baby Clothing

Buying organic produce means you are purchasing products which have been produced in an eco-friendly manner, or at a minimum in a way which causes less contamination of soils and waterways. No or less use of pesticides and fertilisers means less pollution of our farms and lakes, less cancers for farmers, and fewer health risks for children by lessening their contact with dangerous chemicals.

Many wholesalers of baby clothes also sell a range of organic clothes or you can find wholesalers entirely committed to organic baby clothing. Either way, there are a lot of brands to choose from and all ages are provided for, from babies to adolescents. Of course, organic clothes for men and women is also accessible and I am looking into that for myself and my partner.

I would not go as far to say that I am only ever going to purchase organic cotton or bamboo clothes (which is a good alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my baby but I am most definitely going try to whenever possible.
