Whether you’re expecting your baby or have multiple little ones at home… There’s no better time to create a healthier home where your children can thrive. Let’s get started!

Benefits of All-Natural Baby Products

We’ve come a long way from using lead-based paint on our children’s toys… But many traditional baby products — like clothing, baby bottles, and skincare products — still contain harmful chemicals.

And long-term exposure to these toxic substances — even in small amounts — could have long-term effects on your baby’s health.

All-natural products that are made from non-toxic ingredients and materials can be a healthier option for your baby. This will limit their exposure to harmful substances like allergens, irritants, toxins, and chemicals to boost their health!

Many of these products are also helpful for the environment and creating a healthier planet. Eco-friendly products use renewable resources and reduce waste…which not only benefits your baby but the world that they will grow up in. That’s a win win!

And what’s more… By mindfully choosing products that are crafted with durable, earth-friendly materials… Many of these sustainable items will stand the test of time, likely becoming family favorites that are enjoyed by multiple kiddos or even generations!

How to Transition to All-Natural Baby Products:

Whether you want to reduce your environmental impact or protect your family from harmful chemicals and toxins… It’s never too late to transition to more all-natural products.

But this doesn’t mean that you have to throw out everything in your home all at once. This can be overwhelming and not to mention expensive!

Instead, start slowly and tackle items in your home one at a time. Consider what items your little ones need for the upcoming week, month, or season and start from there. This can make it easier to research and find all-natural options for your family.

You can also pick an activity in your child’s routine to help you focus on shifting to more natural products.

Maybe you want to swap out your baby’s bathtime products to more natural alternatives — great! Or maybe you want to focus on meal-time…using safer cups, cutlery and tableware… Amazing!

Some additional activities in your child’s routine to consider are:

Getting dressed
Playtime
Craft time
Meal time
Bathtime
Story time

You can also focus on one room in your home and work from there. Maybe you start in your baby’s room, your kitchen pantry, or family bathroom.

Here are some spaces in your home to consider:

Baby’s nursery
Child’s bedroom
Bathroom
Kitchen and pantry
Playroom
Living Room

These small steps will add up over time to help you create a healthy home that you love.

How to Choose All-Natural Baby Products:

The best way to find healthy, all-natural baby products that are safe for you and your baby is by educating yourself!

Start off by getting to know the products that you currently use. Read the ingredients lists. Look at the product labels and nutrition labels. You can also research the companies and brands that you purchase from to see what their processing and production practices are like.

Once you’ve honed in on some items that you’d like to replace for healthier alternatives, here are some helpful tips to keep in mind:

Choose eco-friendly brands that prioritize fair trade, sustainable materials, and transparent production practices.
Look for products that have quality certifications such as GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) or OEKO-TEX.
Reuse and recycle when you can! You can reduce waste by opting for products you can use again and again.

And look for products made from sustainable materials including:

Organic cotton
Hemp
Lyocell/Tencel/Modal
Linen
Bamboo
Wool
Cork
Stainless steel
Glass
Solid wood
BPA-free silicone

It may take some time to learn about the products you’re bringing into your home… But that’s ok! Be patient with yourself and remember that each little change is moving you toward your goal of an all-natural home for your baby and family. Keep with it!

How to Create an Eco-Friendly Baby Registry with All Natural Products:

Creating an eco-friendly baby registry is a great way to ensure that you start off with all-natural baby products that are safe for your baby.

Some all-natural baby products you may want to consider for your registry could include:

Diapering
Feeding
Clothing and accessories
Bedding
Teething (and other pain relief)
Toys and playtime accessories
Bathtime
Baby gear
Nursery decor

To find the best all-natural options, consider asking your friends if they have any favorite products that they love. Do research on eco-friendly companies out there. Use the suggestions above and look for brands that have a strong commitment to sustainability and use sustainable materials as a core part of their business.

You may already have an idea of eco-friendly brands that you can trust. This can make it easier to check off multiple products on your list.

But we know there are a TON of things that you’ll need for your little one — which can be overwhelming!

Rather than Googling for hours on end or scrolling on Amazon… You may also enjoy finding a one-stop shop that’s done all the hard work for you by curating a smaller selection of all-natural products, like the Babies in Bloom Boutique. We make it easy to create a baby registry filled with all-natural products that you and your baby will love.
