Before I had my baby, I never imagined I would be part of a mothers group. However, now that I am a new mother, talking to other parents about what is going on in my life has been a huge help. We chat about 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 latest baby fashions we have purchased.

I generally go out with 4 other parents, once a week, to hear about the latest happenings. We usually meet at Mr Chicken (which is in ASHTABULA, OH) as that is pretty central for all of us. Last time was more exciting because we chatted about organic baby clothes. I have been providing my baby organic produce from the beginning but I had never thought about buying 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 these farms has ruined habitats and particularly water bodies. Organic produce is made without the need for artificial fertilisers and chemicals. Rather, organic farming depends on things like crop rotation, raising the quality of soils naturally, and using eco friendly pest control methods.

Benefits of Organic Baby Clothing

Getting organic produce means you are getting produce which have been produced in an environmentally friendly manner, or at the very least in a way which causes less pollution of the environment. No or less use of insecticides and fertilizers means less pollution of our farms and rivers, fewer health problems for farm employees, and fewer health risks for children by reducing their contact with dangerous chemicals.

A number of makers of baby clothes also sell a range of organic clothing or you can find shops solely dedicated to organic baby fashion. Anyway, there are a lot of designs to choose from and all ages are taken care of, from infants to teenagers. Obviously, organic fashion 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 ever going to purchase organic cotton or bamboo clothes (which is a fantastic alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my child but I am most definitely going try to whenever it is available.
