Back before I had my first child, I had not thought I would join a mothers group. Be that as it may, now that I am finally a mother, talking to other mothers about what is going on in my life has been a huge help. We chat about how we raise our children, what to do and not to do, we share recipes, and we like to talk about the latest baby outfits we have purchased.

I more often than not get together with 2 other parents, once a fortnight, to find out the latest gossip. We usually meet at Fish Hut (which is in SAVANNAH, TN) as that is pretty central for all of us. Last time was particularly exciting because we discussed organic baby clothes. I have been feeding my baby girl organic produce from the start but I had not considered purchasing organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most popular products in the US and one of the most devastating to the environment and to farm workers. The run off from non-organic cotton farms has damaged ecosystems and particularly water bodies. Organic products are made without the use of artificial fertilisers and pesticides. Instead, organic farming depends on things like crop rotation, improving soils naturally, and using eco friendly pest control methods.

Benefits of Choosing Organic Products

Getting organic clothes means you are purchasing produce which have been produced in an environmentally friendly manner, or at least in a way which causes less contamination of the environment. No or reduced use of insecticides and fertilisers means less pollution of our farms and rivers, reduced health problems for farmers, and fewer health risks for children by moderating their contact with toxic chemicals.

A number of producers of baby clothes also sell a range of organic clothing or you can find retailers entirely dedicated to organic baby clothing. Anyway, there are a lot of marks to choose from and all ages are catered for, from babies to adolescents. Naturally, organic clothing for men and women is also obtainable and I am looking into that for myself and my man.

I do not think that I am only ever going to purchase organic cotton or bamboo cotton clothing (which is a great alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my children but I am without a doubt going try to whenever I can.
