Before I had my first child, I never believed I would belong to a mothers group. Be that as it may, now that I am finally a new mother, talking to other mothers about what is taking place in my life has really helped me. We chat about how we raise our children, what to do and not to do, we share meal plans, and we like to chat about the newest baby clothes we have purchased.

I more often than not get together with 4 other women, once a month, to catch up on the latest gossip. We generally meet at Eggroll Express (which is in TULSA, OK) as that is pretty central for all of us. Last week was really exciting seeing we discussed organic baby clothes. I have been providing my baby organic food from the beginning but it had never crossed my mind to purchasing organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most popular plants in the US and one of the most harmful to the environment and to farm workers. The run off from non-organic cotton farms has damaged ecosystems and especially water supplies. Organic products are made without the use of artificial fertilisers and insecticides. Alternatively, organic farming relies on things like crop rotation, raising the quality of soils naturally, and using eco friendly pest control practices.

Benefits of Choosing Organic Products

Purchasing organic clothes means you are buying products which have been produced in an eco friendly manner, or at 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 soils and lakes, less health problems for farm employees, and fewer health risks for our children by moderating their contact with toxic chemicals.

Many makers of baby clothes also make a range of organic clothing or you can find wholesalers entirely dedicated to organic baby clothing. Either way, there are a lot of brands to choose from and all ages are taken care of, from babies to adolescents. Obviously, organic clothes for men and women is also accessible and I am looking into that for myself and my man.

I do not think that I am only going to purchase organic cotton or bamboo clothes (which is a good alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my baby but I am absolutely going try to whenever I can.
