Happy Friday, and happy Earth Day! I thought it’d be fun to round-up some of my favorite eco-friendly brands for babies & toddlers. From products made from recycled milk jugs, to brands that use recyclable packaging or have chemical-free processing, these are a few of my favorites!
1 | Natursutten Pacifiers and Glass Baby Bottles: Glass bottles are sure to be free of harmful chemicals sometimes found in plastic, plus they last longer than plastic bottles and can be recycled. Natursutten bottles are made from borosilicate glass making them thermal shock resistant. The nipple is made from all-natural rubber and free of harmful chemicals. (If you’re looking for a more affordable glass bottle, try the Evenflo Classic Glass Twist Bottles.)
