Becoming a parent opens up a whole new world of choices and responsibilities when it comes to caring for a new life. As awareness grows around sustainability and the environment, more parents are looking to make eco-conscious decisions in all aspects of child-rearing. But determining what constitutes “sustainable parenting” can be overwhelming when taking care of a newborn.

In this article, we will explore the concept of sustainable parenting and how it applies to baby care including options like cloth diapers, natural toys, non-toxic nursery decor, organic clothing, and more.

Our goal is to provide a non-judgmental guide to going green with baby care so parents can make informed choices aligned with their priorities and values. You’ll find recommendations on where to start and how to gradually incorporate more earth-conscious products as you build your baby registry. Because every bit toward sustainability counts when raising the next generation!
