3 Tips for Creating an Eco-Friendly Baby Registry
Pregnancy is so much fun, y’all. I loved feeling my children grow in my belly. I also had a blast created my registries as I waited for my little ones to arrive. Registries have changed so much over the years. One growing trend that’s emerging is sustainable baby registries. If you’re an environmentally conscious mom-to-be, read these tips on creating an eco-friendly baby registry.
Start with Clothing
Every pregnant woman should put organic baby clothing on their registries. Babies’ skin is incredibly sensitive, so parents must do their best to protect it from harmful chemicals. Many conventional cotton farmers use a ton of pesticides while farming, y’all. These pesticides can make their way to youngsters’ skin. Thinking about this possibility makes me angry! Organic farmers follow much safer farming practices—plus, you don’t have to sacrifice style for safety. You can find so many adorable organic baby outfits on the market today.
Mattresses & Crib Sheets
Babies need their sleep. If you’re lucky, they’ll take tons of naps so that you can get your beauty rest, too. For extra peace of mind, purchase an organic mattress and organic crib sheets. Make sure you wash all bedding with safe detergent, too. People will be happy to help you in your quest to live sustainably, and they’ll love buying cute items for your nursery.
Skin Care Products
My kids used to get diaper rash all the time, and I felt so bad when my babies would cry out in pain. Sometimes, the skincare products I’d use to treat the rashes would make them even worse. It wasn’t until years later that I realized I should’ve used organic lotions and creams. Natural skin care products are much better for youngsters’ sensitive skin. Be sure to put these items on your registry so that you can keep your kiddo safe and comfortable at all times.
These tips for creating an eco-friendly baby registry will help out moms who are trying to adopt sustainable lifestyles. You don’t have to be wasteful just because you’re pregnant, y’all. There are tons of products on the market for people who want to make extra efforts to help the environment. The brave of heart can even give cloth diapers a try!
