Back before I had my baby, I never really imagined I would belong to a mothers group. Be that as it may, now that I have become a mum, talking to other parents about what is happening in my life has benefited me immensely. We talk about how we bring up our children, what to do and not to do, we share baby food recipes, and we enjoy being able to talk about the newest baby fashions we have bought.

I usually meet with 4 other women, once a fortnight, to catch up on the latest happenings. We usually meet at Orange Julius Number 830 (which is in GREEN BAY, WI) as that is fairly central for all of us. Last week was particularly exciting seeing we talked about organic baby clothing. I have been giving my baby organic produce from day one but it had never crossed my mind to getting organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most widely grown products in America and one of the most ruinous to the ecosystem and to farmers. The run off from cotton farms has destroyed habitats and especially water supplies. Organic produce is grown without the need for artificial fertilisers and chemicals. Alternatively, organic farming depends on things like crop rotation, enhancing soils naturally, and using eco friendly pest control practices.

Benefits of Organic Baby Clothing

Buying organic clothes means you are getting clothes which have been produced in an environmentally friendly manner, or at the very least in a way which causes less damage to our habitat. No or reduced use of herbicides and fertilizers means less pollution of our soils and lakes, less diseases for farm employees, and fewer health risks for children by reducing their contact with potentially dangerous chemicals.

Many producers of baby clothes also produce a range of organic items or you can find shops entirely dedicated to organic baby fashion. Either way, there are a lot of marks to choose from and all ages are provided for, from infants to adolescents. Naturally, organic clothes 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 just going to get organic cotton or bamboo clothing (which is an amazing alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my baby but I am most definitely going try to whenever it is available.
