Organic Baby Gifts - The New "Green" Gifts

These days, everyone's talking "green" - and going beyond recycling to do their part to save our environment.
And what better way to get a new baby started on the right foot than with a organic baby gift-naturally made, safe for the environment, and cute and cuddly.
Moms used to have two choices-either use cloth diapers, with the laundering and cleaning inherent with that choice-or the much more convenient disposable diapers, that in the back of our heads we knew were sitting in landfills forever.
Well, now-believe it or not-there are even "green" disposable diapers.
These organically-made diapers are 100% biodegradable and are chlorine-free, safe for even sensitive babies' skin.
And beyond diapers, there are soft-knit cotton jumpers made from organic materials.
T-shirts, pajamas, socks...
many manufacturers are realizing that natural materials and organically produced cotton provides the softest touch for new baby's skin, and the beautiful pieces that result are a great way to keep your baby both fashionable AND environmentally conscious! Bath products are one last way to go organic; while most baby products do go through rigorous screening, to make sure they are safe for baby's skin, organic products use only natural materials and avoid any allergens that can irritate a new baby in the bath.
Lotions, bath wash, and even diaper creams are all available in organic varieties, and paired together with soft cotton towels, make a great and earth friendly new baby gift or shower gift.
You can even find these organic products packaged together, as organic baby diaper cakes or "baby bunches as flowers that unfold from a reusable bucket.
And that's the last hint for "green" baby dressing-you can always recycle baby gear to a friend, a cousin, or a little sister or brother! Reusing those soft blankets means a longer life for the clothes and less waste, and with the high quality cotton that goes into many of these organic products, they'll last several generations.
So get shopping and "look for green"!
