Back before I had my first child, I never believed I would be part of a mothers group. Anyhow, now that I have become a mother, being able to talk to other mothers about what is taking place in my life has really helped me. We talk about how we deal with our children, what to do and not to do, we share meal plans, and we like to chat about the newest baby outfits we have bought.

I more often than not go out with 2 other mothers, once a month, to hear about the latest happenings. We usually meet at Angelina's Supper Club (which is in BAGLEY, MN) as that is fairly central for all of us. Last time was really interesting seeing we chatted about organic baby clothes. I have been feeding my baby organic food from the beginning but I had not considered purchasing 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 employees. The run off from non-organic cotton farms has destroyed the environment and in particular water bodies. Organic cotton is made without the use of artificial fertilisers and chemicals. Instead, organic farming depends upon things like crop rotation, raising the quality of soils naturally, and using organic insect control methods.

Benefits of Organic Clothing

Purchasing organic produce means you are getting products which have been produced in an environmentally friendly manner, or at a minimum in a way which causes less damage to our habitat. No or reduced use of herbicides and synthetic fertilisers means less pollution of our land and rivers, fewer diseases for farmers, and fewer health risks for children by reducing their contact with potentially dangerous chemicals.

Several wholesalers of baby clothes also produce a range of organic items or you can find wholesalers completely dedicated to organic baby clothing. Thankfully, there are a lot of marks to choose from and all ages are taken care of, from toddlers to teenagers. Obviously, organic clothing for men and women is also accessible and I am looking into that for myself and my partner.

I do not think that I am only ever going to purchase organic cotton or bamboo clothing (which is a great alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my children but I am absolutely going try to whenever it is available.
