Before I had my baby, I never believed I would belong to a mothers group. However, now that I am finally a new mother, being able to talk to other mothers about what is taking place in my life has really helped me. We talk about how we deal with our children, what to do and not to do, we share baby food recipes, and we love to chat about the latest baby fashions we have bought.

I more often than not meet with 4 other women, once a fortnight, to hear about the latest new. We usually meet at Bob Evans (which is in WALDORF, MD) as that is fairly central for all of us. Last month was more eye opening as we talked about baby clothes. I have been feeding my baby organic produce from the start but it had never crossed my mind to purchasing organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most broadly grown products in America and one of the most ruinous to the ecosystem and to farmers. The run off from non-organic cotton farms has destroyed ecosystems and especially water ways. Organic produce is grown without using artificial fertilisers and chemicals. Instead, organic farming relies on things like crop rotation, improving soils naturally, and using organic insect control methods.

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

Benefits of Organic Baby Clothing

Getting organic clothing means you are buying clothes which have been produced in an environmentally friendly manner, or at least in a way which causes less damage to our habitat. No or less use of insecticides and fertilizers means less pollution of our farms and rivers, fewer cancers for farm employees, and fewer health risks for our children by moderating their contact with potentially dangerous chemicals.

Many wholesalers of baby clothes also make a range of organic clothes or you can find designers solely dedicated to organic baby fashion. Thankfully, there are a lot of marks to choose from and all ages are provided for, from babies to teenagers. Naturally, organic clothing for men and women is also accessible and I am looking into that for myself and my man.

I do not think that I am only ever going to get organic cotton or bamboo cotton clothing (which is a good alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my child but I am absolutely going try to whenever it is available.
