Back before I had my children, I never really thought I would be part of a mothers group. Anyhow, now that I am a mum, chatting to other mothers about what is happening in my life has really helped me. We chat about how we deal with our children, what to do and not to do, we share recipes, and we love to chat about the newest baby outfits we have picked up.

I usually go out with 2 other mothers, once a fortnight, to catch up on the latest happenings. We usually meet at Wendy's - Restaurants (which is in BROWNSBURG, IN) as that is quite central for all of us. Last time was particularly eye opening because we talked about baby clothes. I have been providing my baby girl organic food from the start but it had never crossed my mind to purchasing organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most broadly grown plants in America and one of the most ruinous to the ecosystem and to farmers. The run off from cotton farms has damaged the environment and in particular water ways. Organic cotton is made without the need for artificial fertilisers and chemicals. Alternatively, organic farming depends on things like crop rotation, enhancing soils naturally, and using organic pest control methods.

Benefits of Choosing Organic Products

Purchasing organic clothing means you are buying produce which have been produced in an environmentally friendly manner, or at a minimum in a way which causes less damage to soils and waterways. No or a reduction in the use of pesticides and synthetic fertilisers means less pollution of our soils and lakes, fewer cancers for farmers, and fewer health risks for our children by reducing their contact with dangerous chemicals.

Several makers of baby clothes also sell a range of organic clothes or you can find stores entirely dedicated to organic baby fashion. Anyway, there are a lot of marks to choose from and all ages are provided for, from infants to adolescents. Naturally, organic fashion for men and women is also obtainable and I am looking into that for myself and my husband.

I do not think that I am just going to get organic cotton or bamboo cotton clothing (which is a fantastic alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my children but I am most definitely going try to whenever I can.
