Before I had my children, I had not believed I would be part of a mothers group. Anyhow, now that I have become a mother, chatting to other women about what is going on in my life has benefited me immensely. We chat about how we deal with our children, what to do and not to do, we share meal plans, and we enjoy being able to chat about the most recent baby fashions we have bought.

I more often than not go out with 4 other parents, once a week, to find out the latest new. We often meet at Pan American Pancake & Omelet (which is in MYRTLE BEACH, SC) as that is quite central for all of us. Last time was really interesting as we talked about organic baby clothing. I have been giving 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 products in America and one of the most harmful to the environment and to farm workers. The run off from these farms has destroyed the environment and especially water bodies. Organic products are grown without the need for artificial fertilisers and pesticides. Instead, organic farming relies on things like crop rotation, enhancing soils naturally, and using organic pest control practices.

Benefits of Choosing Organic Products

Buying organic produce means you are purchasing products which have been produced in an environmentally friendly manner, or at least in a way which causes less pollution of the environment. No or a reduction in the use of pesticides and fertilizers means less pollution of our land and rivers, less cancers for farm employees, and fewer health risks for children by moderating their contact with toxic chemicals.

Many retailers of baby clothes also sell a range of organic clothing or you can find designers completely dedicated to organic baby fashion. Either way, there are a lot of designs to choose from and all ages are catered for, from babies to adolescents. Obviously, organic fashion for men and women is also obtainable and I am looking into that for myself and my partner.

I would not go as far to say that I am only ever going to buy organic cotton or bamboo clothes (which is an excellent alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my baby but I am definitely going try to whenever I can.
