Back before I had my first child, I never imagined I would be part of a mothers group. However, now that I am a new mother, being able to talk to other parents about what is taking place in my life has benefited me immensely. We discuss how we raise our children, what to do and not to do, we share recipes, and we love to chat about the most recent baby fashions we have picked up.

I generally go out with 4 other mothers, once a month, to catch up on the latest gossip. We usually meet at Dairy King (which is in TEKAMAH, NE) as that is quite central for all of us. Last time was more eye opening seeing we chatted about organic baby clothes. I have been providing my baby organic meals from day one but I had not considered buying organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most popular products in the world and one of the most ruinous to the habitat and to farmers. The run off from cotton farms has ruined ecosystems and in particular water bodies. Organic cotton is produced without the need for artificial fertilisers and insecticides. Alternatively, organic farming depends upon things like crop rotation, enhancing soils naturally, and using organic insect control methods.

Benefits of Choosing Organic Products

Getting organic produce means you are buying produce which have been produced in an eco-friendly manner, or at least in a way which causes less damage to our habitat. No or reduced use of pesticides and fertilisers means less pollution of our land and waterways, less health problems for farm workers, and fewer health risks for our children by lessening their contact with potentially dangerous chemicals.

Several retailers of baby clothes also make a range of organic clothes or you can find wholesalers solely dedicated to organic baby clothing. Thankfully, there are a lot of brands to choose from and all ages are catered for, from toddlers to older children. Obviously, organic fashion for men and women is also obtainable and I am looking into that for myself and my man.

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