1. Washable diapers

They are just as effective as disposable ones with less environmental impact. They are easy to clean and have many adjustable features to fit your baby better.

Available brands are Fuzzi Bunz or Happy Heiny’s.

2. Nontoxic crib mattress

Try to avoid mattresses that contain the toxic flame retardants PBDEs (polybrominated diphenyl ethers).

No Compromise crib mattress is made of organic cotton with nontoxic polyethylene plastic surface that is waterproof and stain-resistant. It also uses baking soda and silica to replace PBDEs as natural flame retardants.

3. Baby bottles

Plastic bottles often contain BPA which has been linked to many health problems (click here).

Use glass bottles or Klean Kanteen stainless steel bottles with a soft non-leaching plastic cap that is designed just for babies.

4. Baby carrier

ERGO baby carrier is available in organic fabric. It can be converted to different positions and evenly distributes weight on parent’s body.

5. Toys

Foundlings stuffed animals are stuffed with unbleached cotton clippings and wrapped in organic cotton.
