My middle daughter had a cable knit dress from Ralph Lauren last year, and it was a big hit–adorable cute, but very soft and comfortable. I was sad to note that it is definitely too short for her to wear again this year. Currently, during the Ralph Lauren Baby Sale, you can purchase this one on sale in infant sizes up to 24 months for $69.99 (down from $90) at ralphlauren.com. Strangely, the little girls version (sizes 2-6X) is slightly cheaper at $64.99. If I remember correctly, however, I purchased ours at T.J. Maxx, where I doubt I paid more than $30. If you are looking to save money, ebay is another great option for this look.

I love the Midnight Blue color of this Little Sprout Organic Cotton Onesie. Made by Live with Love, the onesie is created out of soft, thick organic cotton grown free of pesticides and herbicides in an earth-friendly, sustainable way. The company uses only fair-trade artisans and practices. This onesie features the Little Sprout turtle on the front, natural binding, lap shoulders, and lead-free snaps at the leg openings. Available in sizes from 3-6 months to 12-18 months, you can purchase this stylish, eco-friendly onesie at LiveWithLove.com.

I love the idea of cashmere for my kids, although I’m afraid I’m not brave enough to purchase it, especially since on one notable occasion a sweater of my own was decimated in record time by two chocolate-covered hands. So, when I see cute sweaters like this Lucky Jade Trees Cotton Cashmere Hoodie Sweater, I have to wonder a bit about what children actually wear them. I love the tree print. It is sweet and earthy, and I’m sure it is as comfy as can be.  Although machine washable, I just can’t imagine keeping this clean. If you have cleaner kids than I, or simply more talent/patience with laundry, you can purchase one on sale for $60 (down from $84) at designpublic.com. It is available in sizes from 3-6 months up to 4T. I think it would be suitable for either a boy or a girl. I just wouldn’t give it as a gift as, beautiful though it is, it might become a stress to the parent who has to maintain it.

This sweet little organic top features an attractive all-over print in green on a buff background. The lap neck and sleeves are trimmed in brown for an attractive contrast. This  shirt will be cute on either a boy or a girl. It is available in sizes from infant up to 3T and can be purchased for $17.95 at organicbabywearhouse.com.

I’m still not convinced that having a hooded towel is a necessity for baby’s bath time, but if you’re going to buy one, it’s probably a good idea to make sure it’s certified organic. These hooded towels by SwaddleDesigns are. Made from certified organic cotton Turkish Terry Velour, the towels measure 30″ x 30″, a generous size sure to keep baby warm and dry after his bath. The soft organic cotton is a great idea, as babies tend to have sensitive skin. The towels are made in the USA, and sell for $36 at eswaddle.com. They would also make a nice shower or new baby gift.

I’m always up for finding something I haven’t seen on babies previously. With these Organic Cotton Shoes, I think I’ve found just that. In sweet pink (but with tons of other color options, like chocolate with tan trim or sage green with tan trim) and sizes up to 12 months, these Mary Janes are the perfect accessory to go with baby’s prettiest dress, especially a knitted one, or with a cute tee, knitted cardigan, and jeans. It doesn’t really matter—dress ‘em up or down! Either way, I would slide these $16.99 shoes onto my baby’s feet in a heartbeat…if I had a girl! Lucky for me, they’ve got boy versions at OrganicallyHatched.com too.

The Small Duck Organic Cotton Wall Print is sweet, eco-friendly, and perfect for building a nursery around. Prop it on a dresser, as shown, or perhaps get other organic prints to complement it from RosenberryRooms.com and make a grouping above the change table, dresser or crib. Paint the walls a shade of yellow to match with furniture in the same brown hues as the ducks’ feet and bills to finish it off perfectly. Green cushions and crib sheets will complete a nursery made for either boy or girl. Starting with a $24 non-toxic, water-based print is the ideal way to put together a nursery made to be easy on baby’s eyes and calming for naps and bedtime.

This soft organic cotton tee from Coyuchi’s George Collection is beautifully simple. Perfect for babies of either sex, it is hand-embroidered with a sweet little monkey. This top is available in sizes from 6-24 months. You can buy one for $17 at htheultimategreenstore.com.

You can always count to Catmini to produce outfits that are just a little bit out there, but in a good way. I’ve been stocking up on their fall and winter items on sale for next year, but I’m excited to see the new spring and summer fashions. This organic tunic and leggings set caught my eye recently. I love the combination of the striped leggings and the printed swing top. It looks like it would be comfy and super-easy to move around in. If your child is as busy as mine, that is very important. Add in the fact that it is made from organic cloth, and you can feel great putting it on your child. You can purchase the outfit for $76 at OlieBollen.com. It is available in sizes from newborn up to 23 months.

J. Crew’s crewcuts line received a lot of media attention when the Obama girls were seen wearing it. The beauty of the line is that you don’t have to have a Presidential budget in order to afford it. This Cotton Courtyard Dress is a perfect example of what the line has to offer. The dress is simple, yet a touch sophisticated, with a scoop neck and a decorative bow in the front that will make any little girl feel special. The soft cotton keeps it casual and comfortable, so while your little one looks great, she’ll be empowered to take life at a running leap. I love the chartreuse color, but a lavender version is also available. You can purchase this dress for $35 at jcrew.com. Available in sizes from 2 to 6/7, it is sure to be a summer favorite.

My little one has outgrown most of her swaddle blankets, but we still use wearable blankets every night. The problem is that most of them are pretty heavy, and I worry about their safety as the weather starts to warm up. I love our current Cloud B LullaBag because it is large and roomy, so I was glad to discover that the company also makes a lighter weight version. Available in pink, blue, and sage, this lightweight cotton bag comes in two different sizes. Since it replaces blankets in your child’s bed, it helps to reduce the risk of SIDS. You can purchase one for $26.95 at spiffybaby.com.

This sweet little toy from Boccoa would be a perfect first friend for any child. He is made from 100% organic cotton inside and out, so you know your child is playing with a safe, natural toy. Little ones will enjoy snuggling with him and exploring the texture of his mane. He would also look great as a decoration in a jungle themed nursery or bedroom. Best of all, he is currently on sale. You can pick him up for $12.95 at Boccoa.com.

I always love the look of a crisp white dress, especially in warm weather. This great little dress from J Crew’s Crewcuts collection is especially sweet. Made from cotton organdy, it features a classic silhouette with pleating and ruffles at the hem for an extra special touch. For me, it calls to mind romps on the beach in the summer. I think it would be a wonderful dress for family pictures. At $125, it is a pretty expensive item, but it could be worn in a number of contexts and dressed either up or down. It is available in sizes from 2-6/7. You can purchase one at JCrew.com.

This is the perfect gift for the child of an eco-conscious mom. The BuddhiWear Tree Hugger Tank Top shows both parent and baby’s love and respect for the environment. The design has two yogis hugging each other while performing the yoga Tree Pose.

The tank top is made of 100% combed cotton. The manufacturer recommends buying one size larger than baby normally wears, as it will shrink in the wash. It’s available in sizes from 3 months to 24 months for $28 at BuddhiWear.com. The Tree Hugger is also available on onesies, kids sizes, and adult sizes.
