If you’re already concerned with healthy, sustainable living and are a new or expecting parent, you may be excited to learn about all the eco-friendly, natural products available for your baby. From organic cotton diapers to homegrown baby food kits, even the basics can be sustainable and earth-conscious − and they’ve never been easier to find.
Where to Buy
If you’re looking to go natural from top to bottom or if you just need to find some cute, thoughtful gifts for an upcoming baby shower, your options are endless. M. Bagwell Gallery in Montgomery’s Old Cloverdale carries a wide selection of adorable, sustainable baby items that you can gift wrap for a friend or take home for your own bundle of joy.
Online retailer Our Green House offers an extensive line of eco-friendly, sustainable, organic baby products from diapers to pacifiers. If you’re looking for a wide variety of homemade, handcrafted items, Etsy is an amazing community of artists and moms who sell their wares online.
Used is Sustainable!
Buying a used stroller or baby carrier instead of buying a brand new one is a very eco-friendly (and budget-friendly) idea. Head over to the Mulberry Shopping district on a Saturday morning for great deals on adorable, lightly used baby items.
Organic Baby Food
Organic Baby Products 101 explains that a growing number of consumers are raising veggies and buying local and organic for their baby food needs. Young children consume a high amount of fruits and vegetables and are therefore more vulnerable to harmful pesticides than their parents. Visit the Organic Baby Products 101 website for recipes and tips on how to create your own healthy, natural baby food. If you want to start a garden to grow some healthy veggies for your kids, check out our article on getting started.
