Comfort Cotton

Most mattresses are made of PVC, polyester,and foam. They are then doused with flame-retardant chemicals and PBDE’s. These chemicals have been banned by the state of California as of 2008.

Here is an alternative – organic cotton and wool mattresses and organic baby mattress pad of the highest quality possible.  Completely chemical and toxin free.

These  organic cotton and wool baby mattresses and mattress pads are CPSC approved and completely safe. There are two different styles of organic cotton and wool baby mattresses to choose from: Innerspring or Natural Rubber. The mattress pads are made to fit perfectly.

Both styles of organic cotton and wool baby mattresses are the standard 6″ thick and meet all safety requirements set forth by the CPSC. Both feature a wool layer quilted to the organic cotton outer for natural flame retardancy to meet federal guidelines.

You can buy an organic cotton and wool baby mattress and pad and guarantee that your baby will not be exposed to chemicals that have been proven to reduce breathing and are implicated in SIDS.

Your baby probably enjoys having nice warm baths, but he can get cold once bath time is over. If your baby cries every time after a bath, this is probably why! The problem might be the type of towels you use. If you use a regular bath towel to dry your baby off, you might want to look into towels that are made especially for babies. A super absorbent baby towel will get baby dry faster, keeping him as happy as he was during the warm bath.

Another option for keeping baby warm is a hooded bath towel, which immediately envelopes him and absorbs bathwater from his head and body. The most body heat is lost through the head, so a hooded towel will go a long way toward keeping your baby warm and snuggly. Since hooded baby towels are so soft and perfectly sized for baby, they can also work for swaddling. Pick some up today to make bath time much more pleasant for both you and baby!

Most household cleaners are toxic chemicals.  Consider using cleaners that are made from plant and vegetable based ingredients and essential oils for fragrance.  Rather than using a synthetic cleaner on tile or linoleum flooring in your baby’s bedroom or where a child will crawl and play, use a stream cleaner which will disinfect without the use of chemicals.

While there are many bath soaps and shampoos on the market made especially for baby, often these are just milder versions of the adult formula.  Read the labels  carefully and ask yourself if you would want those ingredients (even the ones you can’t pronounce) inside your baby’s body. The skin acts as a barrier for some chemicals however many are absorbed through the skin, a process which is aided by the warmth and moisture while bathing. Natural soaps, lotions and oils are always the best choice for your baby.

Wanting to raise a healthy baby is a primary desire for parents. An expectant mother will get her check ups, follow the advise of her doctor or mid wife in the myriad of things she can do to contribute to the health of her unborn child.

The usual list of things to do and not to do can include, but certainly not limited to, are good eating habits, gentle exercise, rest and relieving stress.  At the same time, avoiding smoking, alcohol and drugs.

On the subject of healthy eating, look to a well-balanced, nutritious diet of lots of fresh greens, fruits and whole grains, organic if possible, to avoid consumption of pesticides and herbicides. These chemicals are detrimental to you and your baby. At the very least, if organic is not an option, avoid foods that contain additives and artificial ingredients.

A new born baby doesn’t require much except a comfortable, quiet  and safe place to sleep. Therefore the type of furniture you choose and the location needs to be safe and practical.

Shopping for a crib can be time consuming and frustrating. It is therefore important that you educate yourself before hand.  If  you choose to buy a used crib or you are handing down a crib from an older sibling there is important information that you need to know.  Check the latest government recall list to make sure you are purchasing something that is safe.  Arming yourself with knowledge will make the crib hunting a more enjoyable experience.

Much of the time, bassinets are made of natural fibers like wicker or natural palm leaves and tend to be more portable than cradles.   Bassinets are great for parents who travel a lot, live in a house with more than one floor, or are very active.

In addition, they are usually smaller and lighter than a cradle, but the sizes do
vary. Bassinet bedding can either be purchased or custom made to fit the requirements and tastes of the parents; new parents need to be aware that though there are similarities between Bassinets and cradles, they take different mattresses, sheets, and bedding.

Finding out you’re pregnant is wonderful and exciting news. For the new Mother-to-be, however, knowing what items she must have for her new baby and then where to find them can be a huge and daunting task.

The first thing a new Mom-to-be needs to do is to make a list of all the things the baby will need as soon as possible so that each item can be purchased a few at a time and readied for the baby’s arrival. How can family and friends help the new Mommy get everything her newborn will need in advance of the big date?  The age-old practice of throwing a baby shower of course! The Mom can sit back and enjoy the day while her friends and family shower her with gifts and goodies for herself and the newborn.
