Back before I had my baby, I never thought I would join a mothers group. Be that as it may, now that I am finally a new mother, being able to talk to other mothers about what is taking place 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 baby food recipes, and we love to chat about the newest baby clothes we have purchased.

I usually get together with 3 other mothers, once a week, to hear about the latest gossip. We usually meet at Hillstown Family Restaurant (which is in TAMPA, FL) as that is fairly central for all of us. Last time was more eye opening seeing we chatted about organic baby clothing. I have been feeding my baby boy organic produce from the start but I had never thought about buying organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most widely grown plants in America and one of the most ruinous to the ecosystem and to farmers. The run off from non-organic cotton farms has destroyed habitats and in particular water bodies. Organic cotton is grown without using artificial fertilisers and insecticides. Alternatively, organic farming depends on things like crop rotation, improving soils naturally, and using organic insect control practices.

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

Benefits of Organic Baby Clothing

Purchasing organic clothing means you are purchasing clothes which have been produced in an eco friendly manner, or at the very least in a way which causes less damage to soils and waterways. No or less use of herbicides and synthetic fertilisers means less pollution of our land and lakes, reduced health problems for farmers, and fewer health risks for our babies and children by reducing their contact with dangerous chemicals.

A number of wholesalers of baby clothes also sell a range of organic items or you can find retailers entirely dedicated to organic baby fashion. Thankfully, there are a lot of designs to choose from and all ages are taken care of, from toddlers to teenagers. Of course, organic clothing for men and women is also obtainable and I am looking into that for myself and my husband.

I would not go as far to say that I am only going to get organic cotton or bamboo clothing (which is an amazing alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my baby but I am most definitely going try to whenever it is available.
