Over at Chicago Family Doulas we were so inspired by all the Earth Day activities. We wanted to share with you some of our favorite baby products that you already need but, can now purchase without having a guilty eco-conscious!
Bambo Nature Eco Friendly Baby Diapers
Bambo Nature baby diapers are considered to be one of the very best disposable diapers in the world. They are compostable. Besides being good for the environment they also work well. They are super soft and highly absorbent, can be used for both day and nighttime use. Their diapers are produced with sustainable processes. They are free of harmful chemicals and perfumes to minimize the risk of allergies and diaper rash. Bambo Nature diapers have earned the Danish Asthma/Allergy certification, and the Nordic Swan Ecolabel. They are Dermatologically-tested and FSC-certified. Their diapers are certified free of all known allergens or substances classified as locally irritating, sensitizing, carcinogenic, or mutagenic. Bambo Nature has been called the “best buy for disposable diapers” by Ethical Consumer and rated the number one diaper on Baby Gear Lab.
Natursutten Glass Bottles
Glass is the safest alternative to plastic baby bottles. Even BPA-free plastic bottles may leach toxic chemicals. These bottles can last for ages and generations, where as plastic bottles have to be replaced. They are free of BPA, phthalates, polycarbonates, plastic, latex and polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Since these bottles are made of borosilicate glass, they are thermal shock resistant and can be boiled and frozen. Glass is easily recyclable and made from abundant natural ingredients. Another great details about this bottle; it has all-natural rubber pacifiers. Their packaging is made from paper certified by the Forest Stewardship Council and printed with natural soy ink. Even the clear window is made of bioplastic—from corn, not petroleum. What a great eco-conscious company!
