When it comes to essentials for your newborn, it is good to consider natural products that are safe and gentle for your new baby. Choose baby products carefully, as you want the best, natural, safe, and chemical-free options!
Diapers
Whether you choose disposable or cloth diapers, having an ample supply is essential.
If you choose natural disposables, pick ones that do not have chemicals.
Cloth diapers are a wonderful alternative to disposables!
Clothing
Choose soft, natural clothing in newborn sizes, including onesies, sleepers, and hats.
There are many organic and natural fabrics, such as organic onesies that come in cotton and bamboo.
Feeding supplies
If you’re breastfeeding, you might need a breast pump, nipple cream, and nursing pads. You can find organic cloth nursing pads that can be washed and reused.
For bottle-feeding, you can use organic baby formula, and organic burp cloths.
A breastfeeding pillow can be useful for your nursing journey.
Baby wipes
Opt for natural baby wipes or sensitive skin varieties to avoid irritation.
Baby bath essentials
Gentle baby soap, shampoo, and a soft towel for bath time.
Diaper rash cream
Helps soothe and prevent diaper rash.
Crib, mattress, bedding, and blankets
Whether it’s a crib, bassinet, or co-sleeper, ensure it meets safety standards.
Find bedding and blankets (such as swaddle blankets) that are organic and natural, not synthetic fabrics.
There are lots of great options for natural organic crib sheets.
Look for healthy natural mattresses, as traditional crib mattresses can contain a variety of chemicals.
Baby carrier or sling
Great for keeping your baby close and your hands free, chose materials such as cotton that are breathable and healthy.
Gentle laundry detergent
Opt for a detergent that’s free of harsh chemicals and fragrances to avoid irritating your baby’s sensitive skin.
Remember, every baby is different, so what works for one might not work for another. Trust your instincts and don’t hesitate to reach out for support from other parents or healthcare professionals if you need it.
