New Baby? Choosing Eco Baby Products
July 3, 2010 by admin
Filed under Going Green
Many new parents want the best for their children but quite often people worry about eco baby products in that they may be a compromise in quality for their child.
Eco baby clothes and other eco products for babies and children can often be seen as inferior to traditional cotton clothes and that quite often puts people off.
However, some eco baby clothes are in no way inferior to traditional cotton baby grows and other children’s clothing. In fact some eco baby clothes a far better at keeping babies warm than regular fabrics and the fact that they are eco friendly is just an added advantage.
Bamboo Baby Grow
Bamboo is the perfect fabric for baby clothes as it is not only as warm and soft as cotton but it yields some remarkable qualities that other materials used in manufacturing children’s clothes just can’t match.
Not only is bamboo every bit as soft as cotton but it also has anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties. This is perfect for new born babies who are susceptible to rashes and infections.
Bamboo is also great at removing moisture and is also thermal dynamic so it can trap heat to keep baby warm but also allow air to penetrate the fabric which allows the skin to breathe.
And as bamboo is one of the fastest growing plants on earth it is easily sustainable. Bamboo is a grass so requires no chemicals or overly fertile land to grow and can be harvested and completely replaced in weeks.
So for new parents looking to find eco-friendly products for babies that actually benefit your child and the environment then you should look to bamboo baby clothes and while you are at it, why not get yourself a bamboo sweatshirt as it is not just baby that deserves pampering.

For a decade, the nonprofit organization Mothers and Others for a Living Planet has been an advocate for raising children in natural, nontoxic, and environmentally friendly environments. Now, the editors of the Mothers and Others newsletter The Green Guide, Mindy Pennybacker and Aisha Ikramuddin, have compiled hundreds of suggestions into a comprehensive guidebook ideal for all parents concerned with providing their children with safe, “green” surroundings.Pennybacker and Ikramuddin provide details and suggestions for preparing baby’s room, taking care of yourself during pregnancy, diapering the natural way, feeding your child, avoiding PVC in toys, avoiding the dangers of installing new carpets in baby’s room (nonnatural carpets “offgas” VOCs–volatile organic compounds–and all carpets can become a trap for allergens and dust mites), and much more. It’s not all warnings and cautions, though; the “Raising (and Protecting) Your Naturalist Child” chapter discusses the importance of exposing your child to the natural world, including ways to encourage empathy for animals. A thorough listing of “green” resources, information, and Web sites rounds off this highly useful guide. –Ericka Lutz

Filed under Going GreenBeing an environmentally friendly parent for babies involves buying products and services that are eco friendly and baby friendly. The range of products is increasing weekly as parents wake up to the green revolution.
What can I buy?
The real question for eco parents is: what can’t I buy? but you don’t need to always buy new, you can re-use items already in existence, the less new items you buy the more ecologically friendly your new family will be! Baby clothes are easy and good-value to buy secondhand and because babies grow so fast, they tend to be hardly worn. Other items to look for in secondhand and charity shops include cot linen, soft furnishings, bouncy chairs and inflatable baby nests.
These products also minimize the impact on the environment and by taking actions such as recycling you can set a good precedent for the future generation. You can now buy most things in a ‘green’ version for babies including organic baby clothes, baby food and even green magazines made out of recycled paper. There is an increasing movement by parents to return to the old days and use cloth nappies instead of the disposable ones which add to the land fills. Imagine how many of these nappies you can get through in the first years of the babies life? Hundreds if not thousands! Many of these cloth nappy companies are stating ease of use, financial benefits, less rubbish and the comfort of natural cloth over paper and gel against delicate skin as some of the many reasons for making this change.
See the green directory for companies that offer cloth nappies and other eco products for babies and the home. Choosing reusable nappies is one of the biggest single things you can do to make a difference. It’s been estimated that two trees a year are felled to provide the pulp for each baby who wears disposables and it also takes hundreds of years for them to break down in landfill sites. Reusables are a lot less hassle than they used to be. And for times when they are inconvenient, the range of eco-disposables is expanding and is better than ever. If you’re buying wooden objects, such as high chairs and baby toys, avoid tropical hardwoods. Look for ones made from trees grown in sustainable forests and remember if you doubt you really need something, don’t buy it yet – wait and see.
I want to enable parents to choose and use products which will benefit baby and his or her family now and protect his / her future environment. GuideMeGreen is essentially a result of my own search for natural and eco-friendly products for my family and offers a service that makes it far easier for other parents to find the right products for them. With the introduction of a discussion board, parents are able to find out information and ask questions to an area which is new to them. We want to convert those to be more eco friendly that at the moment couldn’t care less. I spend half my life telling family members off for throwing glass and plastic away. Being a one man band I deal with all emails and often receive requests from teenagers asking for information on ethical clothing shops and other products of interest to them. My thoughts are …. If teenagers are interested, GuideMeGreen must be doing something right!
