Baby Carriers – Overview and Reviews

They can… [Read More]

Eco-friendly Cribs

Following up the eco-friendly crib mattress post, I’ve had some people recently ask me where they can find eco-friendly, natural cribs. This can be a tough one to find as well, since many cribs these days are coated in toxic finishes, not to mention made with some not-so-pleasant chemicals and glues. There are all sorts of… [Read More]

Eco-friendly Crib Mattresses

Babies spend more than half their days sleeping. On average, until they are 6 months, a baby will sleep about 15 hours each day, and still around 14 (sometimes more) by the time they are one year old. When I first began researching natural products for our first babe, my immediate thought went to the… [Read More]

Homemade Baby Wipe Solution

Many of the commercial baby wipe solutions out there today are full of nasty chemicals. Common ingredients like alcohol, perfume/fragrance and chlorine can be irritating to anyone’s skin, and even more so to the delicate soft skin tissue of a baby.

Natural Teething Remedies

As you try, for the 100th time today, to attempt to make yourself something to eat, your baby shrieks the moment you put her down. She’s gnawing at everything in sight, her chin is red from the constant drool, and you’re exhausted from getting no sleep last night. When it comes to teething remedies, you’re desperately… [Read More]

The Big List of Baby Essentials! What do you really need?
