Back before I had my children, I never imagined I would belong to a mothers group. Be that as it may, now that I have become a mum, chatting to other parents about what is taking place in my life has really helped me. We talk about how we deal with our children, what to do and not to do, we share meal plans, and we love to discuss the newest baby clothes we have bought.

I generally get together with 2 other mothers, once a fortnight, to find out the latest gossip. We generally meet at Town Mart Pizza Pantry (which is in NORTHWOOD, IA) as that is pretty central for all of us. Last time was more eye opening seeing we discussed baby clothes. I have been providing my baby boy organic produce from the beginning but I had never thought about buying organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most broadly grown products in the US and one of the most harmful to the environment and to farm employees. The run off from cotton farms has ruined ecosystems and in particular water ways. Organic produce is produced without the need for artificial fertilisers and insecticides. Instead, organic farming relies on things like crop rotation, raising the quality of soils naturally, and using organic pest control methods.

Benefits of Organic Baby Clothing

Buying organic produce means you are getting clothes which have been produced in an eco friendly manner, or at least in a way which causes less damage to soils and waterways. No or a reduction in the use of insecticides and synthetic fertilisers means less pollution of our farms and lakes, less diseases for farm employees, and fewer health risks for children by lessening their contact with toxic chemicals.

Several wholesalers of baby clothes also make a range of organic items or you can find designers completely devoted to organic baby fashion. Either way, there are a lot of designs to choose from and all ages are provided for, from infants to adolescents. Naturally, organic fashion for men and women is also obtainable and I am looking into that for myself and my man.

I would not go as far to say that I am just going to purchase organic cotton or bamboo clothing (which is a fantastic alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my baby but I am without a doubt going try to whenever possible.
