Eco-Friendly Baby Care: Nurturing the Future

Parents are becoming increasingly aware of the environmental impact of their choices. From the food we eat to the products we use, sustainability is at the forefront of our minds. When it comes to caring for our babies, this consciousness becomes even more crucial. Eco-friendly baby care not only helps protect our planet but also ensures a healthier start for our little ones.

Why Eco-Friendly Baby Care?

Babies are more vulnerable to chemicals and toxins found in many conventional products. Their skin is delicate, and their developing systems are more susceptible to environmental hazards. Eco-friendly baby products are made with natural, non-toxic materials, minimising exposure to harmful substances. 

Choosing the Right Products

1. Diapers and Wipes: Traditional disposable diapers are a significant contributor to landfill waste, taking hundreds of years to decompose. Opting for cloth diapers or eco-friendly disposable diapers can drastically reduce this impact. 
2. Baby Clothing: Organic cotton or bamboo clothing is a great choice for babies. These materials are grown without harmful pesticides and are often softer and more breathable. Look for certifications like GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) to ensure the fabric’s sustainability.
3. Bath and Skincare: Baby skincare products often contain synthetic fragrances, parabens, and other chemicals. Choosing organic, plant-based products can prevent skin irritation and protect your baby from harmful substances. Brands committed to eco-friendly practices use recyclable packaging and sustainable sourcing methods.

Sustainable Feeding Options

Ourbaby bamboo weaning plate set and bowl set are perfect for toddlers who are just learning how to eat on their own. They have a suction cup base that you can easily stick on top of the table to avoid accidents. These can also be removed once your little one grows out of their throwing phase! 

These go perfectly with our colourfulbaby bamboo spoon weaning spoons. They are made from an FSC® 100% certified MOSO bamboo handle and a smooth, BPA free silicone spoon that’s super soft on baby’s gums.

Green Nursery

Creating an eco-friendly nursery involves choosing sustainable furniture, such as cribs and dressers made from FSC-certified wood. Organic mattresses and bedding can prevent exposure to flame retardants and other chemicals. 

Little teeth also need to be taken care of! OurEloise the Elephant rubber teether is completely non-toxic meaning she is a safe and natural teething toy for your little one to enjoy. The soft and soothing natural rubber has a variety of textures, all perfect for sore gums to chew upon.

You can also brush your baby’s new teeth with ourchildren’s bamboo toothbrush, available in a range of colours and kind to your baby’s gums. 

Reducing Waste

Babies grow quickly and won’t fit in their little baby clothes in a matter of months. Consider participating in clothing swaps, buying second-hand, or choosing brands that offer recycling programs.
