Long before I had my children, I had not imagined I would belong to a mothers group. Be that as it may, now that I am finally a new mother, talking to other parents about what is happening 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 baby food recipes, and we love to chat about the latest baby fashions we have bought.

I usually go out with 4 other mothers, once a fortnight, to find out the latest new. We generally meet at Imura (which is in WATSONVILLE, CA) as that is quite central for all of us. Last time was particularly interesting seeing we chatted about organic baby clothes. I have been feeding my baby boy organic produce from the start but I had never thought about purchasing organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most widely grown crops in the world and one of the most harmful to the habitat and to farmers. The run off from non-organic cotton farms has destroyed habitats and particularly water supplies. Organic produce is grown without the need for artificial fertilisers and pesticides. Instead, organic farming depends on things like crop rotation, raising the quality of soils naturally, and using organic insect control practices.

Benefits of Choosing Organic Products

Buying organic produce means you are getting products which have been produced in an eco friendly manner, or at a minimum in a way which causes less contamination of our habitat. No or less use of insecticides and synthetic fertilisers means less pollution of our land and lakes, less cancers for farmers, and fewer health risks for our babies and children by reducing their contact with dangerous chemicals.

Several wholesalers of baby clothes also make a range of organic clothes or you can find retailers entirely devoted to organic baby clothing. Either way, there are a lot of marks to choose from and all ages are catered for, from babies to teenagers. Of course, organic fashion 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 just going to purchase organic cotton or bamboo clothing (which is a fantastic alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my children but I am most definitely going try to whenever I can.
