Back before I had my children, I never thought I would be part of a mothers group. Be that as it may, now that I am a mother, talking to other women about what is going on in my life has been a huge help. We talk about how we deal with our children, what to do and not to do, we share baby food recipes, and we love to discuss the latest baby fashions we have picked up.

I usually go out with 4 other women, once a fortnight, to hear about the latest gossip. We often meet at Frisch's Big Boy Restaurants (which is in BETHEL, OH) as that is fairly central for all of us. Last month was particularly eye opening seeing we chatted about baby clothes. I have been providing my baby organic food from the beginning but I had never thought about buying organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most popular products in the US and one of the most harmful to the habitat and to farm employees. The run off from non-organic cotton farms has destroyed habitats and particularly water supplies. Organic produce is grown without using artificial fertilisers and chemicals. Rather, organic farming depends upon things like crop rotation, raising the quality of soils naturally, and using organic pest control techniques.

Benefits of Organic Baby Clothing

Purchasing organic clothes means you are buying products which have been produced in an environmentally friendly manner, or at the very least in a way which causes less contamination of the environment. No or reduced use of insecticides and fertilizers means less pollution of our farms and rivers, less health problems for farm workers, and fewer health risks for our babies and children by moderating their contact with potentially dangerous chemicals.

Many retailers of baby clothes also sell a range of organic items or you can find shops completely devoted to organic baby clothing. Anyway, there are a lot of brands to choose from and all ages are taken care of, from babies to teenagers. Naturally, organic clothing for men and women is also available and I am looking into that for myself and my man.

I would not go as far to say that I am only ever going to buy organic cotton or bamboo cotton clothing (which is an amazing alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my child but I am without a doubt going try to whenever possible.
