BEDTIME

Creating a cozy and safe sleep environment for your newborn is important. This means investing in nursery essentials that are not only made of sustainable materials but are also reusable for multiple uses. Here are some eco-conscious picks from Baby Company to ensure a restful night for your little one:

  • Crib: When it comes to your baby’s bedtime essentials, a crib should be on top of your list. Look for a sustainable crib made from sustainably sourced natural wood, like our Barnmobler Hansel 5-in-1 Convertible Crib. It is made from sturdy German alpine beech wood designed to seamlessly transform from a cozy crib for newborns to a co-sleeper. 
  • Pacifier: Babies may need a pacifier to soothe themselves during bedtime. Get them a pacifier that's kind to the planet and will soothe them as they sleep. Our Nanobébé Flexy Pacifier Twin Pack 3m+ is a sustainable choice with its BPA-free materials and ergonomic design for healthy oral development.

DIAPER CHANGING

Diapering may not be a glamorous task for a parent, but it is one of the essential tasks. That’s why creating a calm and clean diaper-changing station with supplies that are gentle on your baby's skin and eco-friendly is equally important.  

Here are some eco-friendly options you'll need:

  • Baby Diapers: Consider using cloth diapers or opting for biodegradable and disposable diapers made from plant-based materials. This will significantly reduce waste compared to traditional disposable diapers. Try Hey Tiger Diapers or Rascal + Friends Tape Diapers for newborns—these diaper brands are made with super-soft, plant-based materials, and are gentle enough for the most sensitive skin.
  • Diaper Changing Spray: Skip the wipes altogether and opt for a gentle, plant-based diaper-changing spray like Tiny Buds Natural Diaper Changing Spray. It effectively cleanses and soothes your baby's skin without the use of harsh chemicals or parabens.
  • Baby Wipes: Spoil your baby's skin with soft, organic wipes made from plant-derived materials. Look for Organic Baby Wipes that are free from chlorine, alcohol, and artificial fragrances.

NURSING

Nourishing your newborn is a beautiful and natural experience. Whether you choose breastfeeding, bottle-feeding, or a combination of both, here are some eco-friendly essentials to support a smooth and sustainable feeding journey:

  • Feeding Bottles: Consider innovative designs that mimic the feeling of a natural breast with a skin-like, squeezable silicone body like Comotomo bottles and Nanobébé Transition Bottles. Made from 100% safe, medical-grade silicone, these baby feeding bottles are free of BPA, PVC, and phthalates, so you can worry less and cuddle more.
  • Bottle and Nipple Cleanser: Opt for a non-toxic and safe cleanser for your baby’s feeding bottles and nipples. Made with 100% natural and edible ingredients, the Cradle Bottle Cleanser is proven effective at removing tough milk residues and foul odors.
  • Breast Pump: A manual breast pump is a handy tool for expressing milk on the go or increasing supply. Look for pumps made from BPA-free materials with recyclable components like our Mom & Baby Silicone Manual Breast Pump.

FEEDING

As your baby grows, they'll graduate from strictly milk to exploring a world of new tastes and textures. Here are some sustainable picks to make feeding time fun and eco-friendly:

  • Baby Food: Opt for baby food pouches filled with puréed or mashed organic fruits, vegetables, and grains. Look for brands that prioritize minimal processing and no added sugars like Only Organic Baby Food selections for babies aged 6 months and older. Their purees are nutritionist-approved and bursting with the taste of real food.
  • High Chair: Look for baby highchairs made from sustainably sourced wood or recycled materials. They should be adjustable and can grow with your baby, so you don’t have to purchase multiple chairs. Check out our selection of Kinderkraft high chairs that seamlessly grow with your child for years.
  • Silicone Mat: Get a versatile and eco-friendly baby placemat for catching spills and making cleanup easier. Our Nuby Sure Grip Silicone Animal Mat is made from 100% BPA-free silicone, perfect for babies 6 months and older. It features a built-in suction base that grips tight to tabletops and baby highchairs, keeping their mealtime mess to a minimum.
  • Teethers: For babies that are teething, choose teethers made from safe, non-toxic materials and are BPA-free. Check out our Nuby Teethers, which are gentle on your baby's gums and free from harmful chemicals.

BATH TIME

Bath time can be a fun and bonding experience for you and your newborn. Create a bath time routine for your little one with eco-conscious bath products from gentle shampoo and body wash to bathtubs and more:

  • Body and Hair Wash: Look for tear-free, plant-based washes that are free from harsh chemicals, sulfates, and parabens. These gentle formulas will cleanse your baby's skin and hair without irritating it. Consider buying a 2-in-1 wash like Cetaphil Baby Wash and Shampoo to minimize the number of products needed.

For a soothing formula, our Little Dragon Calm Baby Body and Hair Wash has a curated blend of all-natural ingredients, specifically chosen for their calming and healing properties.

  • Bathtub: Opt for a tub made from a durable plastic tub that can be used for multiple baths. Consider a tub that can grow with your baby, with features like a head and back support for infants. This minimizes the need to purchase multiple tubs as your baby grows. Check out our baby bath bundle set complete with a bathtub, conditioning shampoo, and body wash.
