My Organic Baby
I’ve been receiving more eco-friendly and organic baby products this time around with my daughter than when my son was a baby.
Do I think eco-friendly items are better? Some products that are “green” do stand out. For example, organic clothes. There’s a difference in softness to the material. I rather have my daughter wear a more expensive organic onesie than a cheaper one made out of half cotton and polyester.
I now use household cleaners that are kid-friendly too. I’ve switched over to using green hand sanitizing sprays and organic sunscreen. At least with the organic sunscreen the baby can be protected with lotion.
An item I do not see much of a difference in is baby plates and utensils made out of corn. It seems to be all the rage. Buy this plate, it’s made of corn! The baby got to sleep in a luxury bassinet in her first four months. It is beautiful, being made of sustainable New Zealand wood. However, would I have noticed that it was an eco-friendly product? No. However, it’s something of quality and I will keep it for years to come.
As for making homemade baby food, I’ve been buying some organic fruits and vegetables but not often. It’s still very pricey and the choice between an avocado that’s $3 versus one that is $1 is easy for me.
The only store bought I have been buying is HappyBaby food. They sell frozen organic baby food in cubes. I always buy this one combination that tastes great and the baby eats it all up. It’s made of spinach, mango, pear, and rice. I am in no way getting paid by this company to rave about their product. I just think it’s the best I’ve tried so far.
I’m glad my kids are getting more healthier products in their lives than when I was a child. I can’t believe I used to wear polyester outfits as a child!
