Long before I had my baby, I never imagined I would be part of a mothers group. Anyhow, now that I am finally a mother, being able to talk to other women about what is happening in my life has been a huge help. We discuss how we raise our children, what to do and not to do, we share baby food recipes, and we love to discuss the latest baby fashions we have purchased.

I usually go out with 2 other mothers, once a week, to catch up on the latest happenings. We often meet at Pisanello's Pizza (which is in WESTON, OH) as that is fairly central for all of us. Last time was really interesting as we discussed organic baby clothes. I have been giving my baby girl organic produce 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 world and one of the most harmful to the habitat and to farm workers. The run off from cotton farms has destroyed the environment and particularly water bodies. Organic produce is made without the use of artificial fertilisers and insecticides. Rather, organic farming depends on things like crop rotation, improving soils naturally, and using eco friendly pest control practices.

You can buy soft organic cotton baby outfits online from a number of shops. Sckoon has some gorgeous organic baby clothing.

Benefits of Choosing Organic Products

Buying organic clothing means you are buying products which have been produced in an eco friendly manner, or at a minimum in a way which causes less contamination of our habitat. No or a reduction in the use of insecticides and synthetic fertilisers means less pollution of our soils and lakes, fewer health problems for farm employees, and fewer health risks for our babies and children by lessening their contact with toxic chemicals.

Many retailers of baby clothes also sell a range of organic clothes or you can find companies entirely devoted to organic baby clothes. Anyway, there are a lot of brands to choose from and all ages are taken care of, from toddlers to teenagers. Naturally, organic clothes for men and women is also available and I am looking into that for myself and my man.

I am not saying that I am only going to purchase organic cotton or bamboo clothing (which is a great alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my child but I am definitely going try to whenever it is available.
