A diaper bag is an essential part of your life as a new parent, carrying everything you need to keep your little one comfortable and happy while on the go. Choosing environmentally friendly and natural products for your diaper bag is is a wonderful way to keep your little one healthy and safe.
Here’s a comprehensive guide to the best eco-friendly and natural products to keep in your diaper bag:
Organic or Cloth Diapers
While many parents who prefer natural products opt for cloth diapers, it is good to consider disposable options as well at least on the go.
Look for organic natural disposable diapers made from natural, biodegradable materials such as bamboo or organic cotton. These diapers are free from harmful chemicals, dyes, and fragrances, reducing the risk of skin irritation and environmental impact.
Consider including a few cloth diapers in your diaper bag rotation. Cloth diapers are reusable, reducing waste and saving money in the long run. Choose organic cotton or hemp cloth diapers for a natural and eco-friendly option. You can also find dirty diaper wet bags for getting dirty diapers home.
Natural, Biodegradable Wipes
Keep a pack of natural biodegradable wipes in your diaper bag for quick clean-ups. Look for wipes made from sustainably sourced materials that break down naturally, minimizing their environmental footprint.
Natural Diaper Cream
When it comes to diaper rash prevention and treatment, opt for a natural diaper cream free from harsh chemicals and synthetic fragrances. Look for products containing natural ingredients like calendula, coconut oil, and shea butter to soothe and protect your baby’s delicate skin.
Reusable Cloth Nursing Pads
For breastfeeding parents, reusable cloth nursing pads are a must-have item in the diaper bag.
Look for pads made from organic cotton or bamboo fabric for a sustainable and gentle option.
Natural Hand Sanitizer
Keep your hands clean and germ-free with a natural hand sanitizer made from plant-based ingredients like aloe vera and essential oils. Look for alcohol-free formulas that are gentle on sensitive skin.
Reusable Snack Bags
Instead of single-use plastic bags, pack snacks for your little one in reusable snack bags made from eco-friendly materials like silicone or organic cotton. These bags are durable, washable, and better for the environment.
Natural Teething Toys
Include natural teething toys made from organic cotton or sustainably harvested wood in your diaper bag. These toys provide relief for teething babies without the use of plastics or harmful chemicals.
Stainless Steel or Glass Baby Bottles
If you’re bottle-feeding your baby, opt for stainless steel baby bottles or glass baby bottles instead of plastic ones. These materials are non-toxic, durable, and can be reused for years, reducing waste.
Organic Baby Clothes, Blankets, and Burp Cloths
Pack a spare outfit made from organic cotton or bamboo fabric in your diaper bag in case of diaper blowouts or spills. Organic baby clothes are softer, safer, and better for the environment than conventional cotton garments.
By stocking your diaper bag with these eco-friendly and natural products, you can care for your baby’s needs while minimizing your environmental impact. From diapers to wipes to skincare essentials, every item plays a part in creating a healthier and more sustainable future for your little one.
Every parent should read this! It’s so important to have your essentials in order when you’re out and about with a baby.
This is a great selection of natural diaper bag essentials. Having these essentials will prepare parents for taking care of their baby.
Sounds like a great list of essentials to have on hand! Thanks for sharing this, I will pass it onto some of my mommy friends.
You have all the much-needed essentials listed that every mom needs to make sure they have in their diaper bag. I like that they are all environmentally friendly and natural products.
Your list is spot on! Any parent should have these items in their diaper bags. My son is a lot older now but I never leave home without those baby wipes. Love that they are versatile and can be used elsewhere or for other purposes.

This is so great. Choosing eco-friendly and natural products for your diaper bag ensures both your baby’s well-being and environmental sustainability.
It’s great that there are so many more natural products available these days. My sister in law is pregnant and loves to use natural products. I’m sure she will want to get some of these before the baby comes.
Packing an organic spare outfit is smart for avoiding synthetic fabrics against sensitive skin. I’ll look into stainless steel and glass bottles rather than plastic when my daughter gives birth within the month.
I love this list of essentials for your natural diaper bag. I used many natural products when my daughter was a baby, but we didn’t try cloth diapers. If I were to do it all over again, I would try cloth diapers.
I was crazy about buying only natural stuff with my first son. With my second, I changed my decision, but we still buy natural diaper cream and good quality diapers.
This is a good list. We did have some organic things, plus some natural products. They held up well.
I really like this list of natural diaper bag essentials. When my daughter was a baby, we used many natural products, but we never tried cloth diapers. If I had the chance to do it all over again, I would definitely give cloth diapers a try.”
This is something that my daughter needs to see. Using natural products is better for her baby.
These are certainly great ideas to have in your diaper bag. You always want to make sure you have what you need.
this is a great list of essentials for parents to have handy with them… i know my diaper bag had all this and other knick knacks for myself as well
It’s wonderful to witness parents making efforts towards a sustainable future by opting for eco-friendly and natural baby products. I will relay this information to my friend, who is a new mother and has been seeking guidance on the various products available in the market.
I’m definitely adding organic diapers, biodegradable wipes, and natural diaper cream to my list. It’s wonderful to know we can keep our little one comfy while being kind to the planet.
This is so helpful. It’s mind boggling how much waste we can create with little babies, and these tips are useful.
I am loving all of the wonderful organic and sustainable bay items that they sell these days! I love it and so wish they had had these when my odest kids were younger. I remember my mom used cloth diapers for me when I was a baby…. I don’t remember really but have seen the pics! LOL
Cloth diapers are such a great way to cut down on a static need while raising children. Not only that but it does wonders for cutting down on inorganic waste! I wish I had been aware of a lot of the other products listed, I’m sure the natural and organic creams, wipes, and teething items would have provided a lot of reassurance in reliability of item safety and smaller eco footprint.
We tried cloth diapers for a little bit. I wished I would have stuck with it longer but it was just easier to deal with disposable as a sleep deprived parent.
My aunt doesn’t have a reusable snack bag but that would be a great idea to use it. I’m suggesting her to get one since she has a baby.
