All Natural Baby Products:
Healthy Alternatives to Plastic
Are you looking for some all natural baby products to feed, bathe and soothe your baby? Do the recent headlines have you concerned about using plastic to care for your little one? More and more companies are having to be transparent about the ingredients of the products they sell. While all plastic isn't bad, many of them do contain chemicals that you don't want your baby to ingest. Here are a few items designed to meet your baby's basic needs in the most natural way.
Rubber Pacifier
If your baby likes to make the sucking motion all day and night, you want to make sure it's not on a pacifier that leeches chemicals. Natursutten makes chemical-free rubber pacifiers so you can rest easy while your baby soothes himself.
In addition to being non-toxic, rubber is a natural resource, which comes from rubber trees. The material is sustainable and can be harvested without the use of herbicides.
Organic Cotton Baby Teethers
Under The Nile makes a variety of teething toys out of organic Egyptian cotton. They are free of pesticides and petrochemicals. We have used and like the Fresh Organic Fruit Basket. Glass Baby Bottles
Glass is not just a thing of the past. With Bisphenol-A (BPA), the chemical that mimics estrogen, being outlawed in plastic baby bottles, more companies are bringing them to the marketplace. In addition to BPA-free plastic bottles, BornFree now makes glass bottles . Bamboo Serving Utensils
If you want all natural baby products for baby feeding, you can use Bamboo. The eco-friendly grass grows faster than any other plant on the planet. Check out these bowls and utensils made from 100% organically grown bamboo. Bambu, the company that manufacturers them, also makes forks, spoons and plates for kids. Rubber, Rubber Duckies
Instead of plastic rubber duckies and bath toys, use rubber ones. Many of the plastic bath toys are made with Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) and Phthalates, a chemical to make the plastic soft. Extended exposure can be harmful to your baby, so opt for bath toys made from natural materials, such as this one made from Natural Latex Rubber.
