After 18 years of pregnancy and child rearing these have been my favorite baby items. Some things are more expensive than others. However, these items have lasted YEARS in comparison to other items. I believe I have tried most items on the market wasting unnecessary amounts of money on things that were never used or lasted. Plus, they resell very well, excluding bottles.
As a parent of two, I've put this fantastic list together that will help you navigate the journey of parenthood in the most eco-friendly way possible. Here's my top earth-friendly recommendations to make your baby's world a better place!
