With so many baby products in our homes, it is important to consider their quality and if they are safe for our kiddos. We are responsible for providing safe and toxic-free products to our kiddos. It is also vital to ensure that baby products aren’t significantly impacting the environment. 

Below we will share the best eco-friendly baby products on the market, hoping they guide you to make more eco-friendly purchases. After all, if babies come with lots of things, why not buy eco-friendly items? So here is a list of excellent and eco-friendly baby products that are safe for your little one and Mother Earth too!

Eco-friendly Baby Bottles

These glass bottles from Philips AVENT are top of the list of the best eco-friendly baby bottles because they are plastic-free. Because there is no plastic and the bottles are made of borosilicate glass, they are also BPA-free. Glass bottles are easier to keep clean and disinfected than plastic bottles, plus they last for years (plastic bottles tend to fade over time and get grungy). 

Of course, if you would rather not purchase glass bottles (there’s an obvious risk of them breaking if dropped), another great eco-friendly baby bottle option are the Nanobébé bottles. They are BPA, PVC, Lead, and Phthalate-free. These bottles are incredibly convenient for moms nursing and bottle-feeding (or transitioning from breast to bottle) as the bottle has a natural nipple design. 

Eco-friendly Sippy Cups

If your child is transitioning from bottle to cup, consider the Miracle® 360° Stainless Steel Sippy Cup from Munchkin. It is BPA-free and made of vacuum-sealed stainless steel. The patented 360° silicone rim helps little ones learn how to drink from a regular cup without the risk of spills until they are more confident. In addition, since this sippy cup is not made with any plastics, it is an eco-friendly choice many parents recommend.

Eco-friendly Pacifiers

Ever considered swapping a traditional pacifier for an eco-friendly pacifier? With Natursutten, parents can purchase a pacifier made from 100% natural rubber latex. That means you won’t have to worry about harsh chemicals like parabens, which are 100% biodegradable! 

Eco-friendly Food Wrappers

When you have babies, toddlers, or kids, you have snacks. Lots and lots of snacks. And you often have to bring said snacks everywhere. We found these awesome reusable food wrappers made from organic beeswax. On average, these wrappers last 120-150 uses, so rest assured, all those snacks can be wrapped and wrapped and wrapped again! The Etee wraps are also biodegradable and use GOTS Certified Organic Cotton. The ingredients are all-natural, which means no harmful stuff touching your kiddo’s snacks! Bonus: you can buy these on Amazon. You’re welcome!

Eco-friendly Divided Plates

The WeeSprout Kids Divided Plates are a perfect and eco-friendly way to separate foods for baby, toddler, and kiddie meals. These plates are made from FDA-approved silicone and are 100% non-toxic (no BPAs, PVCs, or phthalates). Rather than purchasing plastic plates and dishware, consider choosing eco-friendly dishware like these useful silicone (and cute) plates from WeeSprout.

Eco-friendly Reusable Pouches

Since we are on the topic of snacks, let us continue our list with these fabulous and reusable Squooshi food pouches. If your kids and toddlers love applesauce and squeezable pouches as much as ours, then you’ll LOVE this product.

The Squooshi is a reusable, refillable food pouch for all the fruit and veggie purees your little ones love. In addition, the product has a “filling station” that allows you to fill multiple pouches at once, or you can fill them individually using the zipper at the bottom!

No more buying (and throwing away) all those one-use pouches! From their website, “Squooshi reusable food pouches are BPA-free, PVC-free, Lead-free, Phthalate-free, puncture resistant plastic, to provide convenience and durability without unnecessary chemicals.” So, to sum it up, they are safe for your kiddos too. Yay! PS: You can be extra eco-friendly by using only organic fruits and veggies for your purees!

Eco-friendly Toys

Green Toys is appropriately named and is one of our go-to eco-friendly baby product brands. All of their toys are made from 100% recycled plastic (mostly milk jugs) and are all made in the USA!

Green Toys are committed to being a “green” company; even their packaging is sustainable baby packaging. And their toys are safe for kiddos. Green Toys offers toys in various categories such as vehicles, bath & water play, role play, outdoor, arts & crafts, and more.

We love Green Toys so much many BabyQuip Quality Providers have them available to rent out to parents. For example, if you rent a toy package from BabyQuip, you might see a Green Toys item in the box!

Eco-friendly Stuffed Animals

Who doesn’t love a good stuffed animal? You may not think to purchase an eco-friendly or organic baby stuffed animal, but they are great for your little one’s health, especially if you have a kiddo who loves to carry around, snuggle, and sleep with their favorite stuffed animals. Bears for Humanity is a California-based company that’s recreated a timeless, classic toy into a modern, eco-friendly baby product. 

They are organic, thoughtfully made, cuddly best friends your little ones will love. Their stuffed animals use 100% GOTS Certified Organic Cotton and are hypoallergenic, and the best part (we think) is for every purchase you make, they donate a bear to a kiddo in need. How awesome is that? Bonus: This makes a GREAT gift.

Eco-friendly Wooden Toys

Hape Toys has been in the game since 1986, so needless to say, they know fun, and they know toys. Plus, they dedicate themselves to sustainability and environmental and social responsibility. They make all of their toys from natural wood and bamboo materials. In addition, they are the most durable of plastics when they use plastics so the toy can be used for generations rather than thrown in the trash!

Hape produces many toys, from preschool role play to sand toys to marble runs, balance bikes, puzzles, and more. Their toys are award-winning and trust us when we say they last forever. So your grandkids’ kids will be playing with them!

Their organic products are safe for baby skin, good for the earth, and cute.

Eco-friendly Swaddle Blanket

Rounding out this category is Aden and Anais, the go-to muslin swaddles brand (but don’t forget to look at their other product lines, too!). Their muslin swaddles are super soft for babies, multifunctional, and have no harsh chemicals or treatments. Use the muslin as a blankie, swaddle for safe sleeping, burp cloth, nursing cover, and more! There’s no need to buy many different items (hint, hint..that’s eco-friendly).
