Long before I had my first child, I had not imagined I would join a mothers group. However, now that I am a new mother, talking to other mothers about what is happening in my life has been a huge help. We talk about how we raise our children, what to do and not to do, we share recipes, and we love to chat about the newest baby outfits we have bought.

I more often than not go out with 3 other women, once a week, to hear about the latest new. We generally meet at Marys Italian Trattoria (which is in TULSA, OK) as that is pretty central for all of us. Last month was really interesting because we chatted about organic baby clothes. I have been providing my baby organic food from the beginning but it had never crossed my mind to getting organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most widely grown crops in the US and one of the most harmful to the ecosystem and to farm employees. The run off from non-organic cotton farms has destroyed habitats and particularly water ways. Organic products are grown without the use of artificial fertilisers and insecticides. Instead, organic farming depends upon things like crop rotation, raising the quality of soils naturally, and using organic pest control methods.

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

Benefits of Choosing Organic Products

Getting organic clothes means you are purchasing clothes which have been produced in an eco-friendly manner, or at a minimum in a way which causes less contamination of the environment. No or reduced use of insecticides and fertilisers means less pollution of our land and waterways, reduced cancers for farm employees, and fewer health risks for children by moderating their contact with dangerous chemicals.

Quite a few retailers of baby clothes also sell a range of organic items or you can find stores completely committed to organic baby clothes. Anyway, there are a lot of designs to choose from and all ages are provided for, from infants to teenagers. Naturally, organic clothing for men and women is also accessible and I am looking into that for myself and my partner.

I am not saying that I am just going to buy organic cotton or bamboo cotton clothing (which is a fantastic alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my children but I am absolutely going try to whenever I can.
