Organics for Baby
Pure and natural, that is how our babies start out life. Now it is our job to provide a safe harbor in which they will grow. Organic bedding, clothing, foods, and toys assure a start in the right direction.

"Start with a Healthy Nursery"
As you know your baby is growing and still developing in the months after birth, and it is important to create and maintain an organic and chemical-free environment. The obvious is clothing and diapers for your baby, then you need to implement a safe, healthy, organic nursery. With a little forethought, this is simple to do:

•     Non-toxic, Eco-friendly Crib and Furniture
•     An Organic, Hypoallergenic Mattress
•     100% Organic Blankets and Bedding
•     Organic Baby Care Products
•     Organically made Cute, Cuddly Playthings 

"Organic Baby Clothing"
It is getting easier to find organic baby clothing in your local stores today than in the past. However, I really like to shop online because of the convenience and, if you happen to be nocturnal like me, you can shop anytime of night or day. Gaiam is one of my favorite online green living and organic clothing sites. They have organic cotton baby products that should please every parent who is trying to go organic for their baby.

If you haven't tried gdiapers yet, you really should! Not only are they earth-friendly and better for our landfills, but they are breathable and the plastic-free flushable refills keep babies dry and happy, so they’re less likely to get diaper rash. Besides all the benefits, gdiapers are just really cute and fun!

"Cribs and Furniture"
When selecting the furniture for your baby's room, pick non-toxic finishes and all wood - no particleboard, fiberboard, or pressed wood please! Amish baby furniture has been popular for many years. The Amish are famous for their tradition of not using any artificial paints and lacquers, handcrafting their products, and handpicking the material for their furniture in order to insure the quality of the material, which is often oak, cherry, maple or other sturdy woods. Also, Pacific Rim Woodworking, Inc. features a non-toxic finish and solid maple crib produced from eco-friendly managed forests.

"100% Organic Mattresses"
What difference should a mattress make - petroleum-based mattresses are loaded with toxic chemicals. They are made of petroleum-based foam or polyester that emit gases, and their synthetic covers are sprayed with pesticides and insecticides - as opposed to organic mattresses consisting of springs that are not coated with any toxic oils, natural latex, and environmentally friendly grown organic cotton or wool sheared off healthy, organically raised sheep. TotallyOrganic.Us carries Pure-Rest Organic Mattresses which adhere to the highest organic standards.

"Organic Blankets and Bedding"
Organic blankets and bedding traits we are looking for  - 100% certified organic cotton and bamboo grown without the use of pesticides, herbicides, or other harsh chemicals, whether it be American grown or from other countries such as Turkey, Egypt, Israel, India, Peru, etc. Organically grown cotton has a low impact on the environment because it replenishes and maintains soil fertility, reduces the use of toxic pesticides and fertilizers, and provides excellent benefits to the consumer.

Bamboo is another organic, "green" fabric. A tall grass with a woody stalk, bamboo naturally regenerates and naturally blocks ultraviolet rays, protecting the body from the sun's harmful rays. Bamboo fabric is known for it's breathability and also for being absorbent, fast drying and hypoallergenic.

Try an environmentally friendly 100% bamboo fabric. The softness that organic bamboo provides for our babies delicate skin is unequaled.

"Organic Baby Care Products"
Your baby was born with soft skin so let's keep it that way. Organic baby products should be made with all organic substances. No petroleum chemicals or parabens. Seaside Naturals, Inc. is one online store that lives up to those specifications.

"Organically Made Cute, Cuddly Toys"
Last but not least, choose your babies toys and stuffed animals wisely. When stuffed toys are made with organically grown cotton you can be sure they are better for your baby. Outfit the nursery with organic teething rings, soft and safe stuffed toys, and colorful educational toys which are lead-free and made with non-toxic high quality wood. TotallyOrganic.Us is a good online source for cute and clever certified organic cotton toys and they have an organic modeling dough for older children.
