Long before I had my baby, I had not imagined I would join a mothers group. Anyhow, now that I am finally a new mother, being able to talk to other mothers about what is going on 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 recipes, and we like to chat about the newest baby clothes we have picked up.

I usually get together with 3 other parents, once a fortnight, to catch up on the latest happenings. We often meet at Bo Bo Chinese Kitchen (which is in WEST BABYLON, NY) as that is fairly central for all of us. Last time was particularly interesting as we chatted about baby clothes. I have been providing my baby boy organic meals from the start but it had never crossed my mind to getting organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most broadly grown plants in America and one of the most harmful to the environment and to farmers. The run off from cotton farms has damaged habitats and particularly water bodies. Organic cotton is made without the need for artificial fertilisers and insecticides. Alternatively, organic farming depends upon things like crop rotation, improving soils naturally, and using organic insect control methods.

You can get soft organic cotton baby clothes online from a number of stores. Sckoon has some of the cutest organic baby apparel.

Benefits of Choosing Organic Products

Buying organic clothing means you are buying clothes which have been produced in an eco friendly manner, or at least in a way which causes less damage to the environment. No or reduced use of insecticides and synthetic fertilisers means less pollution of our land and rivers, reduced diseases for farm workers, and fewer health risks for our babies and children by lessening their contact with potentially dangerous chemicals.

Many retailers of baby clothes also produce a range of organic clothing or you can find stores entirely dedicated to organic baby fashion. Either way, there are a lot of brands to choose from and all ages are taken care of, from infants to teenagers. Obviously, organic clothing for men and women is also obtainable and I am looking into that for myself and my man.

I am not saying that I am only ever going to buy organic cotton or bamboo cotton clothing (which is an excellent alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my baby but I am definitely going try to whenever possible.
