Product Description
Product Description
The surface of each nappy is covered with a film made from natural maize, 100% GM free, which lets the baby’s skin stay dry and breathe naturally it is not like the plastic surface of other nappies that look similar. The absorption layer is made from natural chlorine tree pulp that has been approved by the Scandinavian Environmental Society. Nature BabyCare nappy has a unique channel construction which reduces the level of super absorbents by 50% compared to other market leaders, without loosing performance. The Nature babycare nappy is easy to put on and thinner than most nappies without loosing their ability to absorb. They are so thin that they allow the freedom of movement your baby needs. The patented crease-line design and superior fit keeps the baby dry and comfortable. Nature babycare is made from 70% natural materials which is unique for a nappy that maintains the same high standards as other market leaders.

Another Option for Chlorine free however non-biodegradable:
Seventh generation Diapers

Chlorine Free Baby Diapers: at the website they list the ingredients
“The diapers are made of chlorine free wood pulp fluff, sodium polyacrylate (also referred to as SAP or absorbent gel), polyolefin nonwoven fabric, adhesives, polyolefin film, synthetic rubber elastic strands
The color of disposable diapers is typically achieved through the addition of color pigments. To the best of our knowledge, there are no known toxicity issues associated with the use of these pigments in our diapers. We use brown pigments to help distinguish Seventh Generation Chlorine Free Diapers from others in the marketplace that are bleached with chlorine-containing substances.”

Baby Bed
Here is an overview of some specific chemical compounds to avoid in the conventional crib mattress.
1. Polyvenyl chloride: PVC most toxic and environmentally unfriendly plastics used today.
2. Phthalates: associated with asthma, reproductive problems ( most conventional baby mattresses contain phthalates.
3. Polyurethane foam, is essentially solid petroleum and is a common filling in conventional mattress.
Also avoid toxic fire-retardants chemicals ( a common one is the penta BDE) , associated with hyperractivity and neurobehavioral alterations.

Crib Mattress: Organic cotton is grown without the use of toxic pesticides or chemical fertilizers.
1.

or
2 the Organic firm mattress for standard baby crib may be another good choice:

Organic Mattress pad that is waterproof what a great idea for leaky diapers: (you may need two)

Organic cotton sheets are produced without harsh chemical bleaches or dyes. They are natural and hypoallergenic: A cute colorful choice made from soft organic cotton rather than the usual white and creams, so pure and gentle for your baby’s pure skin

The Crib:
I would pick that made of wood; they have that made from oak, for sure better than the artificial materials used in making most cribs, check this 4 in 1 crib that is very useful and it can be used for a long time as your baby grows.

As for winter covers: I would go for the Organic Wool safer than the synthetic comforters laced with the fire-retardent:

And remember its safe to keep your baby sleeping on the back for the first 6 months.
Please avoid toys or pillows in the crib at least for the first 6 months as well.

Baby strollers:
The Rolls Royce of all as most parents tell me;

Another good stroller that comes with a car seat

For luck families with twins check this double stroller:

Baby food and safe feeding products:

Born free baby bottles free from toxic plastics:

Baby teething give him fresh food to chew to sooth and nourish

Breast feeding friend firmer and more support for the back than the boppy

The best diapers and the must have for sure is: (and they ship them to your door)(:
