Organically Growing

Bringing a burping bundle of joy into the world makes for an exciting time! Sleepless nights, chapped, leaking nipples and a world of “necessities” you never knew you needed. Everyone wants to give you something to make baby’s life easier, cuter and all around more fun! Suddenly, your home is turned into a mass of “things” and every room looks like an explosion went off in a plastic factory … and your kid just wants to bang a wooden spoon on a pot he pulled out of the kitchen cabinent.

Choosing to raise a Happy Green Baby doesn’t mean depriving your child of fun toys or condeming him to a life of beige-colored hemp onsies. Rather, it’s about making smart, informed decisions about the types of products you’re child is in contact with and reducing the impact you and your new baby have on the environment.

Babies’ bodies are still developing, so it’s important to go for materials that don’t contain harmful synthetics. Instead of pesticide-laden cotton, you’ll find silky soft Bamboo or Soy clothes in funky colors. Shunning petroleum-based toys and bottles just means baby will be putting organic cotton toys or toxin-free wood shapes in his mouth instead!
