Long before I had my children, I had not thought I would belong to a mothers group. However, now that I am finally a new mother, talking to other parents about what is taking place in my life has really helped me. We chat about how we bring up our children, what to do and not to do, we share meal plans, and we like to talk about the newest baby outfits we have picked up.

I usually meet with 3 other women, once a fortnight, to hear about the latest happenings. We often meet at Missy's Arcade Restaurant (which is in TITUSVILLE, PA) as that is fairly central for all of us. Last time was really interesting seeing we talked about organic baby clothing. I have been giving my baby girl organic food from the beginning but I had never thought about purchasing organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most broadly grown plants in America and one of the most devastating to the habitat and to farm workers. The run off from non-organic cotton farms has destroyed habitats and in particular water supplies. Organic products are made without the use of artificial fertilisers and chemicals. Instead, organic farming relies on things like crop rotation, improving soils naturally, and using organic pest control practices.

You can purchase soft organic cotton baby clothing online from a number of stores. Sckoon is my favourite for organic baby apparel.

Benefits of Organic Clothing

Buying organic clothing means you are purchasing products which have been produced in an eco friendly manner, or at the very least in a way which causes less contamination of our habitat. No or a reduction in the use of herbicides and synthetic fertilisers means less pollution of our farms and rivers, fewer health problems for farm workers, and fewer health risks for our children by reducing their contact with potentially dangerous chemicals.

Quite a few producers of baby clothes also produce a range of organic clothing or you can find retailers solely dedicated to organic baby fashion. Thankfully, there are a lot of brands to choose from and all ages are catered for, from babies to adolescents. Obviously, organic clothes for men and women is also accessible and I am looking into that for myself and my man.

I am not saying that I am only going to get organic cotton or bamboo clothes (which is a fantastic alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my baby but I am without a doubt going try to whenever I can.
