Create a non-toxic nursery for your baby - The best organic and non-toxic baby products, tips, and more
If you’ve read my post about the best baby registries, you’ll know that Amazon tops my list because of their wide product selection, free 2-day shipping, completion discount, and 90-day registry return window on most products. Another reason that I love Amazon’s baby registry is because they offer a free baby registry welcome box (worth up to $35) for Prime members… Read More
As you’re setting up your baby’s own gentle nursery, you might be wondering whether you should buy a glider or rocking chair. Some families don’t get much use out of a rocking chair, while others use a glider multiple times a day. To me, having a glider is essential and I have probably used mine multiple times each day for the… Read More
My mama bear instincts majorly kicked in once my first child was born. All of a sudden I was responsible for this tiny little baby, and it made me want to keep an eye on him 24/7. Of course that’s not possible – though I probably tried! I couldn’t keep staring at him at all hours of the day, and… Read More
It matters where your baby sleeps. In addition to purchasing non-toxic baby furniture and an organic crib mattress, another important purchase is your baby’s bedding. Newborns can sleep for a total of up to 20 hours a day, so it’s important to have pure, organic baby sheets and bedding available for them to rest their little heads on. And the… Read More
Mainstream laundry detergents and dryer sheets are toxic. They’re petroleum-based, making them two of the biggest sources of toxic chemicals and carcinogens in our homes. It’s sad, but true — Tide and other popular laundry detergents have been found to contain “problematic levels” of cancer-causing chemicals and endocrine disrupters [1]. Naturally, you wouldn’t want to expose yourself to these harsh chemicals, let… Read More
Some babies can sleep through anything (so I’ve heard), but most babies prefer the shushing and comforting sound of white noise. I recommend white noise machines for babies because they naturally help babies connect their sleep cycles by offering a constant, womb-like sound in the background. Honestly, our noise machines are a life saver and I strongly suggest that everyone… Read More
As your baby grows and possibly outgrows the bouncer, you may find that she will enjoy spending time in a play yard with a few toys. Using a play yard (or travel crib) will provide you with another option for hands-free baby time. Here are my favorite non-toxic play yards and travel cribs.

Along with a car seat, a crib mattress is one of the most important purchases you will make for your baby. All jokes aside about how little babies sleep, your baby will spend thousands of hours sleeping on their crib mattress and their crib should be a safe sleeping surface. Investing in a healthy crib mattress should be at the top… Read More
One of my favorite baby milestones is introducing solid foods. It’s exciting to share your love of food with your new baby, and it’s fun and rewarding to see your baby experience solid food and new flavors all at once! And the messy faces are just a cute bonus. Of course, high chairs and introducing solids go hand in hand,… Read More
The early days with a newborn are so special and sweet. They’re so tiny and cuddly, and the excitement of bringing your baby home is in the air. Caring for a newborn is still a 24/7 job, though, and there will certainly be times that you won’t be able to hold or wear your baby, such as when you’re in… Read More
