Long 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 finally a mum, talking to other women about what is taking place in my life has benefited me immensely. We discuss how we bring up our children, what to do and not to do, we share meal plans, and we love to chat about the newest baby clothes we have bought.

I usually meet with 4 other parents, once a month, to hear about the latest happenings. We generally meet at Red Dog Saloon & Pizza (which is in LIBBY, MT) as that is quite central for all of us. Last month was more eye opening because we talked about organic baby clothes. I have been feeding my baby boy organic meals from the beginning but I had not considered buying organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most broadly grown crops in the world and one of the most ruinous to the habitat and to farmers. The run off from cotton farms has damaged habitats and especially water bodies. Organic products are made without the use of artificial fertilisers and insecticides. Instead, organic farming depends upon things like crop rotation, enhancing soils naturally, and using organic insect control practices.

Benefits of Organic Clothing

Buying organic products means you are buying clothes which have been produced in an eco-friendly manner, or at the very least in a way which causes less damage to our habitat. No or reduced use of insecticides and synthetic fertilisers means less pollution of our land and lakes, less health problems for farmers, and fewer health risks for children by reducing their contact with toxic chemicals.

Quite a few retailers of baby clothes also sell a range of organic clothes or you can find wholesalers entirely devoted to organic baby clothing. Anyway, there are a lot of marks to choose from and all ages are catered for, from babies to older children. Naturally, organic clothes for men and women is also accessible and I am looking into that for myself and my husband.

I do not think that I am only going to buy organic cotton or bamboo clothes (which is a fantastic alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my children but I am without a doubt going try to whenever possible.
