Eco-babies; our future.
We recently published a weekly email tip on eco-babes. The response from parents was overwhelming, most reporting they had always thought baby products were the most gentle and natural products around. Many claimed to use baby products for themselves believing the products must be gentler on the skin. The big chemical producers have had a vested interest in keeping these facts quiet. Now that we know their dark secrets lets find some cost effective and manageable alternatives.
If you missed the email tip you can check it out at the link below.

One subscriber recommends using almond oil to cleanse your baby (and soften your hands in the process). Another recommends using water alone to wash your babe and then almond oil for baby massage.
We don't have a bub yet, but we do use seventh generation baby bum wipes(or moist toilet tissue as Tony likes to call them!). They are just like your conventional bum wipes without all the nasty chemicals! Tony is actually quite the professional bum wipe tester, so if you think there is other good natural brands, please let us know!
Please feel free to tell other subscribers about the natural products and techniques you have found to be the most effective and those that just haven't worked at all!
Looking forward to your thoughts.

I use modern cloth nappies for 3 month old. We struggled with the first two with kids alternating between the dreaded but very useful disposables and the cloth squares. The nappies we use use press studs just like disposables and you just use a little liner inside. Not only do we feel better for this ecologically, but it has saved us a fortune!
For those of us that are not blessed with babies, a present is a great way of giving a family member's or friend's baby a great organic start to life.
I've just purchased some organic cotton cot sheets for my brother an his wife. I included some enviro friendly washing powder and a folder of tips on enviro friendly cleaning.
The perfect mix of something bought and some effort and thought! Of course this was given in the brown paper (recyclable) bag that the sheets came in.
They loved it!
