    Hi, I’m Sarah.. new to this space. Can someone help me find a site that offers natural/ eco-friendly baby products? I’ve found a few sites but not all their products are organic or eco-friendly, and it’s hard to find a site that has cute stuff.

    Just be sure to look into the products themselves, have heard a few stories of "eco-friendly" products being far less "baby-friendly" than the more established alternatives from companies with poorer eco-credentials.

    I cant recommend a specific site, but would highly recommend an eco-product we got:

    Merino wool blankets.
    We got gifted ours and its a godsend, it self-regulates the temperature of the baby, breathable, extremely fire resistant, great for sensitive skin, and is so soft. Merino is 5 times more finer than human hair and softer than cashmere. Its biodegradable and a renewable resource.

    The one we got was the Francis Jane Heirloom blanket. Now it was probably bought in a shop in NZ and posted over to us but this site has the one we got; http://www.organicbaby.co.nz/shop/nursery/linen.aspx

    Our friend is sending us another one. Baby sicked up on his one and we had to use a cotton cellular one while his own was getting washed and the replacement blanket felt like cardboard. So she offered to send us a spare.

    They are dear, but in my opinion, are well worth it.

    This site is great for checking products http://www.ewg.org/skindeep/
    it is american so I have found that some products I have bought and checked have slightly different or less ingredients than what is stated on this site so bear that in mind while checking :)

    Also OP I find local health food stores great for buying natural products such as shampoos etc and my local one has a big catalogue from all the brands they stock so I can look through and order anything I like

    ecobaby is good

    http://www.greenbaby.com is great - their nappy balm is amazing, cross over vest a must for newborns and little wrigglers - used ours on all 3 children, so great value too, open ended sleep gowns are fab too and great for middle of the night nappy emergencies, and their swaddling blankets.

    the little me baby organics http://www.littlemeorganics.co.uk/ are great and you can buy in boots

    http://thenaturalbabyresource.com/ also good and good value

    From their site “furniture is made with FSC certified sustainable woods and environmentally friendly manufacturing practices. Their bedding and towels are made of 100% organic cotton.”
