An Organic Baby Bed, All-Natural Organic Soft Toys, and More Essential Building Blocks for Your Baby’s Eco-Friendly Home

Nurturing your baby (and yourself) with organic food and eco-friendly body products is an important part of creating a safe, healthy home for your wee one. And dressing her in organic baby togs will protect her from the many toxic chemicals and dyes found in conventional non-organic clothing. There are other steps that you can take as you work towards building the most wholesome, safe home for your new baby. From organic soft toys to lush organic bed linens, here are more ideas for surrounding your baby with all that is eco-friendly and baby-friendly, too.

Your Baby Will Spend So Many Hours in Her Bed… Be Sure It Provides the Most Wholesome and Safest Sleep Environment for Her
Organic and natural baby bedding is another fundamental building block in creating a healthy home for Baby. Choose a well-fitting organic sheet and mattress pad to protect your child from harmful toxins while she’s in her bed. Traditional synthetic mattresses should also be avoided: Created from petroleum-based foam and a toxic plastic cover, and treated with a frighteningly large assortment of chemicals to make it fire and moth resistant, a conventional mattress is potentially very dangerous for your baby. While an organic bed and mattress are big-ticket items, don’t lose heart if your budget is tight: People are rediscovering the benefits of swapping and are recycling and reusing with a vengeance, so search second-hand shops (both online and locally) and the classifieds, and spread the word to everyone you know that you are looking for a gently used natural baby bed and mattress. Fortunately, an organic mattress is very safe to pass from baby to baby, so you needn’t be concerned about dust mites, bacteria, mold, and dirt. Just check the mattress over carefully for tears and stains, and then give it a thorough airing before Baby uses it. 

For the Safest, Most Stimulating of Playtimes, Organic Toys are the Very Best Choice
Toys tend to be the item most often left off of the “organic things to buy for Baby” list. However, your baby’s toys will spend countless hours at her side, in her mouth, hugged tightly next to her tummy, thrown and tugged during playtime… Unlike standard baby toys, organic baby toys are completely safe, environmentally friendly, and free from any harsh or harmful materials or chemicals, and, as such, are essential items for your wee one. You’ll find a wonderful variety of innovative, stimulating, age-appropriate toys made from sustainable woods, certified organic fabrics and fibres, eco-friendly natural rubber, and more, particularly in online shops. 

The simple eco-friendly choices you make each and every day make an indescribable difference for your baby today and for her every tomorrow. By surrounding her with organic and natural gear, you protect her today from harmful toxins, and help to protect her, too, from the long-terms effects those toxins can have. Good for you for making choices that make her life better and make things better for Mother Earth, too!
