baby gear - clothing
New clothing:
Choosing safe fabrics for baby is so important.
Not many people are aware of the many chemicals used to grow cotton for manufacturing.
There are some great natural fabrics available, ranging from organic merino wools through to pure organic cotton and all designed to keep baby naturally warm. The choice is yours.
Why Organic?

When investing in quality garments made from organic cotton, remember that not only will you and your child enjoy these natural garments - they have great resale on Trade Me and eBay too!

Baby showers:
If you're an eco-conscious parent, ensure you have a list so you get the
organic/eco-friendly items that you really want. Either put a gift registry list
on your web site/blog or register with a baby store.
Give your baby shower an eco-flavour by including suggestions for help ie
cooked meals, babysitting siblings etc. You might also like to suggest that you
are happy to receive recycled gifts (that friends children have outgrown)!
Check out our US gift page or
NZ gift page
for gift ideas.
Second hand clothing:
Buying recycled babywear will not only save you dollars but is also ecologically sound. Reduce, reuse, recycle!
In NZ, shop online at Trade Me, in the United States, use eBay.

Footwear
Little feet love soft leather slip-on shoes. Several brands are widely available and ideal for babies 0 to 18 months.
Finding leather shoes for toddlers and older children is more of a challenge.
Many shoes are now manufactured in plastic, PVC or other synthetic materials. Look at the materials which are listed on the lining of the shoe.
