Before I had my first child, I never really believed I would be part of a mothers group. However, now that I am finally a new mother, being able to talk to other parents about what is happening in my life has benefited me immensely. We chat about how we bring up our children, what to do and not to do, we share meal plans, and we enjoy being able to discuss the most recent baby outfits we have purchased.

I usually meet with 4 other parents, once a fortnight, to hear about the latest happenings. We generally meet at Cucina D'Italia (which is in HASBROUCK HEIGHTS, NJ) as that is fairly central for all of us. Last time was more exciting seeing 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 widely grown products in the US and one of the most devastating to the ecosystem and to farmers. The run off from these farms has ruined ecosystems and particularly water bodies. Organic products are made without the need for artificial fertilisers and pesticides. Instead, organic farming relies on things like crop rotation, raising the quality of soils naturally, and using organic insect control practices.

Benefits of Choosing Organic Products

Getting 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 contamination of the environment. No or reduced use of insecticides and fertilisers means less pollution of our land and waterways, reduced diseases for farmers, and fewer health risks for our children by reducing their contact with dangerous chemicals.

A number of wholesalers of baby clothes also make a range of organic clothing or you can find companies entirely committed to organic baby fashion. Either way, there are a lot of marks to choose from and all ages are taken care of, from babies to adolescents. Of course, organic clothing for men and women is also accessible and I am looking into that for myself and my man.

I am not saying that I am just going to get organic cotton or bamboo cotton clothing (which is an excellent alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my baby but I am most definitely going try to whenever I can.
