Long before I had my baby, I never really thought I would be part of a mothers group. Be that as it may, now that I have become a new mother, being able to talk to other mothers about what is happening in my life has been a huge help. We discuss how we deal with our children, what to do and not to do, we share meal plans, and we enjoy being able to chat about the most recent baby fashions we have purchased.

I more often than not meet with 4 other mothers, once a fortnight, to find out the latest happenings. We often meet at Belmont Burgers (which is in LONG BEACH, CA) as that is quite central for all of us. Last time was really exciting because we chatted about organic baby clothing. I have been feeding my baby boy organic produce from the beginning but I had never thought about getting organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most broadly grown plants 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 damaged ecosystems and particularly water supplies. Organic cotton is produced without the need for artificial fertilisers and insecticides. Rather, organic farming depends on things like crop rotation, enhancing soils naturally, and using organic insect control techniques.

Benefits of Choosing Organic Products

Buying organic clothes means you are buying produce which have been produced in an environmentally friendly manner, or at least in a way which causes less contamination of our habitat. No or a reduction in the use of herbicides and fertilizers means less pollution of our farms and rivers, reduced cancers for farm employees, and fewer health risks for children by moderating their contact with potentially dangerous chemicals.

Several retailers of baby clothes also make a range of organic clothes or you can find wholesalers completely dedicated to organic baby clothing. Anyway, there are a lot of designs to choose from and all ages are taken care of, from infants to adolescents. Obviously, organic clothing for men and women is also available and I am looking into that for myself and my man.

I am not saying that I am only going to get organic cotton or bamboo clothes (which is an amazing alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my child but I am without a doubt going try to whenever possible.
