Before I had my children, I never really imagined I would be part of a mothers group. Anyhow, now that I am a new mother, chatting to other women about what is going on in my life has benefited me immensely. We discuss how we deal with our children, what to do and not to do, we share meal plans, and we like to talk about the most recent baby outfits we have bought.

I usually meet with 3 other mothers, once a month, to find out the latest new. We usually meet at USA Steak Buffet (which is in FREMONT, NE) as that is quite central for all of us. Last time was really interesting seeing we talked about organic baby clothes. I have been feeding my baby organic food from day one but I had never thought about getting organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most popular products in the world and one of the most ruinous to the environment and to farm employees. The run off from these farms has ruined the environment and especially water ways. Organic cotton is made without the use of artificial fertilisers and insecticides. Alternatively, organic farming relies on things like crop rotation, improving soils naturally, and using organic pest control practices.

Benefits of Organic Baby Clothing

Getting organic clothing means you are getting clothes which have been produced in an eco friendly manner, or at a minimum in a way which causes less pollution of soils and waterways. No or reduced use of insecticides and fertilisers means less pollution of our farms and lakes, reduced health problems for farm workers, and fewer health risks for children by lessening their contact with dangerous chemicals.

Several wholesalers of baby clothes also make a range of organic items or you can find companies solely dedicated to organic baby clothes. Thankfully, there are a lot of designs to choose from and all ages are taken care of, from toddlers to teenagers. Of course, organic clothing for men and women is also obtainable and I am looking into that for myself and my partner.

I am not saying that I am only going to buy organic cotton or bamboo clothing (which is an amazing alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my child but I am most definitely going try to whenever I can.
