As a parent, you want to provide your child with material goods that contribute to their development. But most importantly, you want to provide them with experiences and an environment that is safe for them to grow into. 

This is where responsible consumption comes into play. It is a way of consumption that benefits your family’s lifestyle without damaging the planet.

For future parents who are looking to switch to a sustainable lifestyle, here are three benefits of purchasing organic baby bundles: 

1. Health Benefits 

Did you know? Non-organic baby products can impact your baby’s health. Here is how:

Fabrics

Cotton is probably one of the most romanticized fabrics by fast fashion companies. The reason behind it is that cotton is cheap to produce. Although cotton is a durable and breathable fabric, it is also heavily sprayed with pesticides. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), exposure to these chemicals can cause cancer. 

Toys and Plastic Baby Essentials

From baby bottles to sippy cups to pacifiers to toys, there is a whole market of toxic baby items that are not safe for babies to use. 

Unless they are organic, most of these products contain the following: 

  • Bisphenol (BPA): This harmful chemical contributes to the development of fertility issues. BPA was commonly found in sippy cups and baby bottles. Although the FDA eventually banned this chemical, the American Academy of Pediatrics (APA) recommends avoiding plastic baby bottles. The APA recommends this measure because other harmful chemicals may be present in plastic bottles. 

  • Phthalates: This carcinogenic ingredient has been found in pacifiers and teethers. This chemical can be harmful to the development of the liver, lungs, and kidneys. 

2. Economical Benefits

Any parent knows that babies chew and throw most items that cross their way. This behavior is entirely normal and sometimes cute since babies are just developing motor skills and figuring out the world. However, as cute as they can be, babies are also very expensive. 

Purchasing durable products is an effective way to reduce baby expenses. Plastic products tend to be fragile and can easily get scratches. In contrast, organic baby products are designed to preserve their quality over time. Some examples of durable eco-friendly baby products are:

  • Bamboo cutlery

  • Wood toys and accessories like teethers

  • Baby clothes made of resistant fabrics like organic cotton or muslin

  • Glass baby bottles made of reinforced glass, which reduces the chances of breaking. For extra security, you can cover the bottle with a silicone sleeve. 

Once your baby no longer needs an item, you can either save it for your next child or try to sell it. Nowadays, selling secondhand goods online is very easy. For instance, many people sell crafts and vintage items through Facebook marketplace. 

3. The Peace of Mind of Contributing to a Better Future

As a parent, probably your biggest concern is the future of your child. Unfortunately, we are already experiencing the consequences of climate change. 

The good news is that as a consumer, you have power in your choices. Every time we purchase sustainable products, we contribute to:

  • Preserving natural ecosystems

  • Reducing waste 

  • Reducing climate change effects

We must genuinely start believing that, as a society, we are capable of bringing change — because if we don’t, no one else will. 

At Eco Babi Bundles, our products are GOT certificated. We focus on providing durable eco-friendly baby items. Plus, we donate 5% of our profits to the United for Wildlife Taskforce. Be part of the change today!
