Waste and Babies
Old school items like cloth diapers and glass bottle, and new items like natural rubber pacifiers, are just a few ways to lessen waste associated with children!
Cloth Diapers
• these diapers can be used hundreds of times before needing to be disposed• cute designs, safe to purchase pre-loved, not immediately bound for the landfill after one use

Reusable Wipes
• just like cloth diapers are reusable, cloth wipes exist and they are also reusable• made with materials that are better for baby's skin, and you can make or purchase solution

Glass Bottles
• when sturdy and made for babies, glass bottles are an excellent feeding solution. The best bottles that withstood dropping and never broke on me were Philips Avent Glass Bottles

Natural Rubber Pacifier/ Soother
• contains NO chemicals, PVC, phthalates, BPA• eco-friendly & hygienic

SeconhandItems
• Babies grow through clothes, toys, furniture, and gear very quickly, so the secondhand market for kids' items is necessary in order to create less waste and get maximum use out of items.

Natural Toiletries
• using toiletries for children that are made without chemical or with less chemicals is helpful for both them and the environment. Bonus points if the packaging is sustainable!
