Before I had my children, I had not imagined I would belong to a mothers group. Be that as it may, now that I am finally a mum, talking to other parents about what is happening in my life has really helped me. 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 chat about the latest baby fashions we have picked up.

I usually get together with 3 other women, once a week, to find out the latest new. We generally meet at Ruth's Restaurant (which is in ZEBULON, GA) as that is pretty central for all of us. Last month was really interesting as we chatted about baby clothes. I have been providing my baby girl organic meals from the start but I had never thought about getting organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most broadly grown products in the US and one of the most ruinous to the ecosystem and to farm employees. The run off from non-organic cotton farms has ruined the environment and in particular water supplies. Organic produce is made without the need for artificial fertilisers and insecticides. Rather, organic farming relies on things like crop rotation, raising the quality of soils naturally, and using organic pest control methods.

Benefits of Choosing Organic Products

Purchasing organic products means you are getting produce which have been produced in an environmentally friendly manner, or at a minimum in a way which causes less pollution of soils and waterways. No or less use of herbicides and fertilizers means less pollution of our land and waterways, reduced cancers for farm workers, and fewer health risks for children by reducing their contact with dangerous chemicals.

Quite a few producers of baby clothes also make a range of organic clothing or you can find shops completely devoted to organic baby clothing. Thankfully, there are a lot of marks to choose from and all ages are provided for, from babies to older children. Of course, organic fashion for men and women is also available and I am looking into that for myself and my man.

I do not think that I am only going to buy organic cotton or bamboo clothes (which is a good alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my baby but I am definitely going try to whenever I can.
