Back before I had my baby, I had not thought I would belong to a mothers group. However, now that I have become a mother, being able to talk to other women about what is going on in my life has benefited me immensely. We discuss how we raise our children, what to do and not to do, we share recipes, and we like to talk about the latest baby clothes we have bought.

I more often than not get together with 2 other parents, once a week, to catch up on the latest happenings. We often meet at Double Deuce Barbecue (which is in WYLIE, TX) as that is pretty central for all of us. Last time was particularly interesting because we talked about baby clothes. I have been providing my baby boy organic food from the beginning but I had not considered purchasing organic clothing for her.

Cotton is one of the most broadly grown products in America and one of the most ruinous to the environment and to farmers. The run off from non-organic cotton farms has destroyed the environment and especially water supplies. Organic produce is produced without using artificial fertilisers and insecticides. Instead, organic farming depends upon things like crop rotation, raising the quality of soils naturally, and using organic insect control techniques.

Benefits of Choosing Organic Products

Getting organic products means you are purchasing produce which have been produced in an eco-friendly manner, or at a minimum in a way which causes less pollution of soils and waterways. No or reduced use of pesticides and fertilizers means less pollution of our land and lakes, reduced cancers for farm workers, and fewer health risks for children by moderating their contact with dangerous chemicals.

Many retailers of baby clothes also produce a range of organic clothes or you can find designers completely committed to organic baby clothing. Either way, there are a lot of marks to choose from and all ages are provided for, from toddlers to teenagers. Naturally, 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 only ever going to get organic cotton or bamboo cotton clothing (which is an excellent alternative to regular or organic cotton) for my child but I am without a doubt going try to whenever possible.
