Green Baby

We already are pretty green in our household. I have sensitive skin and food allergies, so there are some things we have to be conscious about and others that just fell into place.

I wear mineral makeup, and use all natural skincare. (silk naturals)
I use a commercial shampoo/conditioner free of SLS and parabens (Giovanni 2chic)
I use a natural based laundry detergent (used to use Berry Plus, but switch to Method for availability)
I use vinegar in my wash cycle (to keep whites whiter and eliminate odors)
We use wool dryer balls instead of dryer sheets (because they're reuseable)

We have not made the switch to natural dish detergent, but like that Dawn participates in animal efforts. Only about half of our cleaning supplies are natural. One step at a time folks!
We eat soy-free and also try to choose products with the simplest ingredients and without corn syrup (because why is it even in there half the time?) We buy our dog a premium dogfood (nutrisource).

So, as you can see, what we put in and on our own bodies has been a priority for quite some time. Why would it be any less so with our new baby? Our household tends to walk the line between what's best and what's also convenient (for example, choosing disposable diapers that are eco-conscious).

What are our choices for The Green Baby?

• Diapers: Bambo is natural, sensitive, top rated, and environmentally conscious
• Laundry: We'll be sticking with our Method, Vinegar, and Wool Balls approach
• Wipes: I got samples of pampers(free), huggies naturals ($1.98), amazon elements($1.90), and honest wipes ($.79), BUT I also ordered the starter kit for what the French swear by: Liniment Oleo Calcaire which is basically olive oil with calcium. It's oil so it cleans effectively and leaves a barrier on baby's bottom to seal in moisture and prevent rashes. I won't know what i like best til i use it, but something tells me the olive oil is going to win out. 
• Skincare: Again, I'm really not sure where we'll end up with this, but we've received lots of samples (burt's bees, babyganics) and registered for lots of kits (honest, california baby), so i'm sure we'll find a favorite.
