A nursing pillow helps baby and the person nursing (or bottle feeding) more comfortable. It raises the baby up closer to the caregiver and gives them a soft and supportive surface to rest on while nursing. Organic Caboose makes an organic cotton nursing pillow that is made with 100% organic cotton fill and a 100% organic cotton outer layer. All of the cotton is US grown and the pillow is US made.

woolino 4 season baby sleep bag

woolino 4 season baby sleep bag

After the swaddle stage we were looking for something cozy and safe to keep our baby in during sleep time. I looked at a lot of sleep sacks and decided it was important to get something that was made out of all natural materials, no polyester lining or fill. Made from 100% merino wool and 100% organic cotton, the Woolino 4 Season Baby Sleep Bag is an amazing sleep sack and I think an essential purchase for a new baby (or also of course if you already have a baby). This is a four season sleep sack that lasts from 2-24 months, so baby can wear it year round. Both of these factors make the higher cost (higher than a synthetic sleep sack) more economical in the long run.

disana cloth diaper system

disana cloth diaper system

Disana is a wonderful German based company that specializes in organic wool clothes and diapers for babies and kids. They also have a line of products for the home. Over 30 years ago they started providing eco-friendly textiles. They are committed to natural textile production and are dedicated to wholesome products as well as environmental and social concerns. They are a founding member of the International Association of Natural Textiles, which ensures the textiles are not only made with healthy materials, but also that neither workers nor animals suffered in the making of the products . On their website, one can find many nice things, but here I am going to review their cloth diaper system, which includes a tie nappy, muslin flat, and boiled wool cover (they also offer a fitted cloth diaper, a woolen over pant, and a microfiber cover among other things).

naturepedic crib mattress - organic cotton ultra 252 seamless 2 stage

naturepedic crib mattress - organic cotton ultra 252 seamless 2 stage

In my research for a healthy baby crib mattress, I came across Naturepedic. Their organic mattresses range in price and features. Here I am going to review the No Compromise Organic Cotton Ultra 252 Seamless, 2 Stage. It is on the higher end of their mattresses, but I think if you are going to get one of their mattresses, it is worth it to spend a little more if possible. They do offer some wonderful options on the lower end of the budget, so you can get a healthy mattress for your baby without breaking the bank.

danish woolen delight, baby hats + night soaker

I had the opportunity to review two sweet baby hats and a nighttime diaper soaker from Danish Woolen Delight. The company is based in Vermont and mainly imports their organic wool products from LANACare in Denmark as well as Hocosa in Switzerland and NaturaPura in Portugal. Danish Woolen Delight was started by a nurse whose background was in textile design. I loved the ease of use of their website, and it seems like I would be happy with just about anything they offer.

snugbags winter sleepsack

snugbags winter sleepsack

When searching for a baby SleepSack (or wearable blanket) that would be very warm in the winter and was made of only natural materials, I came across Snugbags. The company is based in New Zealand, so shipping might take longer than what many people are used to if you are ordering from a well known online US based store, but I found the wait well worth it. We have been using this SleepSack for our baby most of the winter so far. It keeps her warm and is so cozy! I am hoping it will last next winter as well. Here's some info on the Sack:
