Natural baby products will assist greatly in the wellness of your baby. It will also offer mama the piece of mind knowing that her bundle of joy is exposed to the healthiest products on the planet, for the planet. A consumer really needs to self educate and become aware of natural product ingredients, materials, and socially responsible principles in order to truly represent natural living.
The list of natural baby products is quite extensive, to name a few: cloth diapers, skin/body care, clothing, books, textiles, toys, furniture, and games. For instance, food grade skin care is considered the safest and absolute purest choice for truth "natural" consumer.

What prompted my initial search was the importance of discovering safe, natural, and effective products for my un-born first child. Secondly, once my child was born, I was motivated to research natural baby products to create a list of resources to pass on to more traditional, phthalate plastic crazed and synthetic minded family members.

On the subject of natural baby products, particularly, skin/body care, I discovered some interesting facts. Washing babies skin with soaps or detergents can cause the loss of acid mantle. Repetitive washing alters the stratum cornea and barrier functions, including skin pH. There are many diseases that cause an increase in skin surface pH if not utilizing natural baby products.

• Eczema
• Contact dermatitis
• Atopic dermatitis
• Dry Skin

Can you imagine if the general population knew how to "cure" the common eczema? If we all knew about and trusted natural baby product choices, a lot of baby/childhood ailments coulded.

When purchasing natural baby products, how about considering the following choices or alternatives to assist you on your natural way.

Furniture- non-toxic wood stains such soy based, beeswax, etc. Body/skin care- food grade, herbs, and botanical based products. Bedding- organic bedding and or bamboo. Cloth Diapers- organic cotton or most cloth choices over the alternative (one pamper takes 300 years to biodegrade).

Toys- wooden, non-toxic paints and materials, phthalate free plastic.
The above is a short list of what to look for when buying or researching natural baby products. You may also want to consider purchasing American made or socially responsible baby products to insure that happy humans are helping conserve and bring awareness to a happy planet.
