Green Parenting: Tips To An Eco Friendly Nursery Safe For Your Baby
No comments · Posted by admin in Go Green
Thinking about the environment means looking at what one spends money on when it comes to children. Diapers, clothing, bedding and also nursery furniture and all considerations of an eco-friendly upbringing. When one first starts looking at these things in detail, it can be surprising to find that there are a lot of potentially hazardous issues. This article is going to talk about nursery furniture and nursery materials and their potential hazard to the health of your baby and the environment and what to look for instead.
First of all when it comes to the nursery there are many things one wants to do with it; paint it, put in new flooring and clean it. Carpets, paint and cleaning products all can emit toxic fumes called volatile organic compounds of which some are carcinogenic and can irritate the lungs and thus one’s breathing. Children are much more susceptible to toxins then adults as their lungs are smaller and they also breathe much faster. Babies are even more susceptible especially as their lungs are much smaller and haven’t developed as far as a child’s or adult’s. Their immune and nervous system are only in the early stages of development. They also breathe faster. As a result they inhale more toxins than adults do and have much smaller bodies. This is also a caution for pregnant women, as inhalation of toxins can also affect the baby.
First of all one will want to paint the nursery and many people leave to the last minute. If you are going to paint the nursery it is best to do it as soon as you can and ventilate it well. If you are pregnant this is a job best left to someone else to be extra safe. When painting you need to give at least a month or so for the room to properly air before putting your baby in there. The longer you leave a room to dry and let the paint settle the better. It is also best to avoid conventional paint and look for eco friendly paints and ones low in VOCs. You could also try looking for milk or natural paints. There are also paints that are completely VOC free and thus do not emit any fumes. These are well worth looking for to be extra safe.
Besides paint there is also the floor to contend with. Carpet is far from ideal when it comes to toxins and being green. New carpet will emit VOCs and with its flame-resistant properties will also add more toxins into the mix. Carpets can also trap in dust, mold and pesticides and your baby will be crawling on it and be very close to it. Carpet is best avoided but there are some great alternative carpets such as cork or bamboo that you could use without the toxic issues. If you do not like the idea of a bamboo or cork carpet then wood flooring is the better option. You can also use natural rugs on the floor for particular areas to add some cosiness and make it softer for your moving baby.
Lastly there is the issue of furniture. Many people do not think that furniture could possibly admit toxins – I didn’t at one point. However if you are buying cheap MDF/chipboard style furniture, this type of furniture usually contains formaldehydes that can be hazardous to health. Avoid them at all costs and only go for furniture that is formaldehyde free or solid wood.

Raising your baby green, much like living your life green, involves many options. It is exactly these options that can make an impact on the health of the global ecosystem. That said, the options and opportunities for going green can feel overwhelming at times.
There are many small steps that you can take to start down the path of being an eco-conscious consumer. Your baby will thank you for your attention when she grows up to find native species still in place, clean air, and thriving oceans.
There are many reasons to dress your baby in green clothing. First, green or “eco-friendly” baby clothes are better for the environment because of the three main factors that are taken into consideration by their manufacturers:
1. Energy
Green baby clothes are typically produced using less energy. This is because they undergo fewer chemical processes and are often produced by manufacturers that are held to higher regulations (by their customers) than traditionally-made clothes
2. Chemicals
Green baby clothes are grown with few or no chemical pesticides or herbicides. They are also minimally processed using chemical dyes and colors. All of these chemicals can be harmful to the ecology of our planet by seeping into groundwater and affecting the ability for native plants to thrive.
3. Sustainability
Green baby clothes are produced using sustainable farming methods that take into account the natural ecosystem and creating the least impact possible.
Aside from the ecological reasons for purchasing green baby clothes, you can also dress your baby in them knowing that there are additional benefits, including:
1. Comfort
Although it shouldn’t be surprising, natural fabrics tend to be soft and comfortable – exactly what you want for your newborn.
2. Cleanliness
The eco-friendly bamboo fabric features amazing moisture-wicking and antibacterial properties, which are greatly appreciated by today’s parents.
3. Goodwill
Knowing that you dress your child in clothes that are not actively disrupting the Earth’s delicate balance can create a sense of well-being that simply isn’t possible using traditionally-farmed fabrics.
Your options in buying green baby clothes are many and increase almost daily. As people throughout the U.S. and elsewhere recognize the value of purchasing eco-friendly clothing, more and more manufacturers are expanding their capacities and even some of the greatest designers are turning to green fabrics.
It is increasingly easy to find organically-grown cotton. Even some of the large chain stores carry certain items made of this fabric. Organic cotton is grown with natural fertilizers and is free from toxic chemicals. Farmers rely on crop rotation and age-old cultivation techniques to maintain soil quality and grow healthy plants. A field must be pesticide-free for at least three years to qualify as organic, and the cotton must be processed based on International organic standards.
Bamboo fabrics are one of the more unique eco choices. Softer than even the softest cotton on the market, bamboo fabrics have a natural sheen and are frequently compared to silk and cashmere. It is less expensive and more durable than silk or satin, but can be used in place of either fabric. A great benefit of using bamboo fabric for baby clothing is its antibacterial properties. Bamboo fibers contain a naturally-occuring anti-microbial agent that prevents bacteria from cultivating on it. Bamboo also naturally provides UV protection.
Like bamboo, hemp fibers grow quickly, making it a highly sustainable and eco-friendly crop. The yield from a field of hemp or bamboo is more than double that of an equal acreage of cotton. Hemp fabric still tends to be “nubbier” than cotton, as it is the traditional choice of consumers interested in minimally-processed fibers. That said, in recent years hemp clothing manufacturers have made huge strides and greatly increased the softness of hemp clothing, making it a great option for babies.
Overall, dressing your baby in green clothing has many benefits both for the Planet and your baby. Luckily, it is increasingly becoming more affordable also.

Cloth baby diapers are making a come back in the last few years due to the negative impact disposable diapers are having on the environment. Do you know that every year land fills are piled with millions of tons of disposable baby diapers that take hundreds of years to decompose! So it’s smart to get greener and despite the convenience of disposable diapers cloth diapers and hybrid Eco diapers are becoming more popular choices for parents today.
Cloth diapers have a lot of positive effects for the baby as well as the environment because they are made from natural cotton fabrics they are kinder to babies’ skin and allow the sensitive skin of the baby’s bottom to breath. For babies with skin irritations or allergies these diapers are a must rather than the plastic of disposable diapers. Also Organic cotton fabric diapers are a really good idea for babies with sensitive skin issues and are also extra eco friendly towards the environment. The cost of disposable diapers is also a big negative in the disposable verses cloth diaper debate, you will save a lot of money using cloth diapers as well as gain all the health benefits for your baby and know that you are treating the environment respectfully.
Hybrid diapers are a cross between disposable and eco friendly cloth diapers. They have a cloth outer layer with a disposable plastic inlayer designed to hold the liquid and then it can be flushed away as it is made up of decomposable materials that break down in the drain. So this may be the option of the future fulfilling eco friendly concerns with the added convenience of not having to hoard a basket full of soiled baby diapers in your laundry room.
