Eco-Friendly Baby Products We Love [2020]

When it comes to baby products, “eco-friendly” is more than a buzzword. Or a new-parent-of-first-kid kind of thing. In fact, it’s quite the opposite. Searching for the best eco-friendly products for your baby is a long haul approach to selecting sustainable, responsibly made items to use on and around your baby and your family. 

We get it, and we feel the same way. 

And we also know it can be overwhelming. Making steps toward becoming more eco-friendly doesn’t have to be an all or nothing approach. We can do little things each day to honor the planet while using fewer chemicals in our households. And one great place to start is with eco-friendly baby products.

In our quest to help make parenting a little less stressful and doing right for the planet a whole lot easier, we set out to find the best eco-friendly baby products we could find.

Whether you are stocking up your own nursery or shopping for a baby shower, these are some of the best earth-friendly products for babies that we are seriously loving this year.

When you’re trying to reduce plastic, these glass bottles are a great alternative. These eco friendly baby bottles are made from durable pharmaceutical-grade glass that you can warm up straight out of the fridge without worrying about breaking. And according to the reviews, it should survive baby throwing it across a wooden floor (but maybe not a drop onto tile--oops!).
