First Step Organic sells 100% organic clothing for newborns and infants. I really like this Cuddly Bear 100% organic Newborn Long Sleeve Kimono Bodysuit. It solves the problem of finding something warm enough for a newborn to wear in the winter/early spring (with its long sleeves), yet still accessible for diaper changes and quick changes of clothing. The Cuddly Bear print on the front makes it even more adorable. This would make a great new baby or holiday gift for parents with a newborn this holiday season. You can purchase it for $23 at Stores.FirstStepOrganic.com.

Pottery Barn Kids has pretty impressive sale prices. The Organic Newborn Wrap Cardigan is listed for $19.99 (final sale.) I have something similar that I paid much less for at our local grocery store, I love it and I think you will too. Organic materials are so soft, baby must love them against his/her skin; not only that, but I love kimono styles on babies and the ribbon side-tie on this version is a pretty grosgrain. You can get this look too (and pair it with everything-loose pants, shorts, jeans-as I do. It’s great in summer on chilly evening walks) in sizes up to 9 months.

Organically Grown Baby is a company that makes organic baby clothing designed to be affordable to the average eco-conscious parent. All of their baby apparel is made from 100% certified organic cotton, like this Newborn Girl’s Dress Set. The ruffles paired with the bloomers give your newborn daughter a beautiful, feminine touch while keeping her comfortable at the same time. You can purchase this set, and view more Organically Grown Baby apparel, at Sears.com, where it sells for $17.99. It would make a great new baby gift as well.

The Snoogie Seat is a unique, handmade soft seat designed for newborns. In the shape of a monkey, it has arms with velcro that “hugs” your baby as she reclines in the seat. With an inner cushion of cotton/polyester and a fleece removable outer cover, the Snoogie Seat is made to keep your child comfy and cozy. It also has a loop on which you can hang a child’s toy. Created by Daddy’s Design, the Snoogie Seat is available in Brown Monkey or Pink Monkey, for $49.99, at Shop.DaddysDesign.com.

New parents are usually interested in keeping track of everything their newborn does - from how much and when she eats, to how many times a day she soils her diaper and what color it is, to nap and sleep times. It’s very important to note these behaviors, especially if you’re breastfeeding. That’s why I like Aunt LaLa’s Log by RosieBear, a company made up of two sisters who create must-haves for new moms. It’s a stylish way to record your baby’s behaviors and patterns during her first three months of life. Aunt LaLa’s Log is available in girl, boy, and generic design, in Standard format. Normally sellling for $29.95 for Standard format or $49.95 for Twins format, UpscaleBaby.com readers can purchase this innovative product at a 10% discount for a limited time only, by accessing http://www.rosiebear.com/index_files/FabulousFriends.htm and entering the code UPSCALE. (You can only receive the discount by accessing this specific page, not by going to the website and ordering through the normal process).

I recently discovered a company with a simple idea - provide a subscription service that sends essential gifts to new moms for the first 12 weeks of baby’s life. Gifted At Birth, created by doula Tara Brooke and her partner Ari Nave, is a subscription service that sends “gifts” to you based on a profile you complete on their site, GiftedAtBirth.com. After asking a few questions, such as whether you plan to breast- or bottle-feed, whether ease of use or eco-friendliness is most important to you during the first few months of baby’s life, and whether you’re interested in just the essential baby items or the premium “gifts,” you are presented with an array of items that will be sent to you once a week for the first 12 weeks postpartum. If you live in the New York area, you are also entitled to a 30 minute consultation with a postpartum doula. What a great idea!

The company ships its products all over the United States. Their partners include Pampers, Dr. Brown, Mama Mio lotions, Moltex biodegradable diapers, and many more well-known companies producing quality products. The service costs about $124/week for the Essential Package, and about $170/week for the Premium Package. Once subscribed, you can log onto your online account and add things to each weekly delivery. This is a wonderful idea for new parents, who can concentrate more on spending quality time with their newborn and not have to worry about things like diapers, wipes, or pacifiers. Check this service out at GiftedAtBirth.com.

One of my best friends gave birth to a baby boy two weeks ago, and ever since I laid eyes on this beautiful boy, I’ve been thinking of him every time I see adorable newborn clothing. This Tan Velour Snowsuit by Absorba would be perfect for him, since he’s going to have to be exposed to some cold weather this winter. It’s adorned with elephants, a favorite of mine on children’s clothing. The attached cuff mittens will keep baby’s hands nice and toasty.

Made of polyester and fully lined with cotton, this snowsuit is also machine washable. It comes in sizes 3 months, 6 months, and 9 months. What’s even better is its price: it is currently on sale for $24.97 (down from $65) at SmartBargains.com. Price is especially important when purchasing outerwear that you know your baby will only be able to wear for one season.

I have to admit that I am not very organized when it comes to my children’s keepsakes.  We recently came home from the hospital with our newborn’s hospital bracelet tucked into an envelope with her discharge papers.  Unfortunately, that is where both remain over a week later.  When I saw this picture frame from Pearhead, I knew it was right up my disorganized alley.  This great product allows you to find a perfect home for this important early keepsake where it will remain out of harm’s way.  While a picture goes in the top portion of the frame, the cut-out at the bottom displays a hospital band.  You can purchase one for a very reasonable $25 at tottini.com.  A white finish is also available.

If you want to get your infant off to a pure and organic start, you might be interested in this newborn set from Ruskovilla.  This set is made up of simple, natural, essentials to pamper both mom and baby.  Made in Finland, the set includes a pair of wool nappy pants, a silk/wool blend shirt and matching cap, a pure silk hat, an organic cotton teething animal, silk breast warmers for a nursing mother, and Weleda Pregnancy body oil for the mother-to-be.

I love the simple, classic appearance of these pieces which are sure to pamper your newborn’s delicate skin with Ruskovilla’s blend of Merino Wool, Pure Silk, and Cotton.  Moreover, the company is committed to environmentally-friendly practices, so your purchase helps care for the Earth as well as your little one. You can purchase this complete set for $164.90 at WoolenWishes.com.

This product is made in the USA, so you don’t need to worry that your purchase supports sweatshop labor in the Third World.  It is available in 3, 6, and 9 month sizes.  You can purchase one for $41 at bestdressedkids.com.

All of my babies have been full term, but the largest of the three was just over seven pounds. I have therefore been very glad to have a few preemie outfits for them to wear in the early days.  With most of the major children’s clothing companies now making clothes in preemie sizes, it isn’t hard to find cute outfits.  Every once in a while, though, something catches my eye because it looks a little bit different from what I’m used to seeing.  This outfit from Kumquat definitely falls into this category.  I love the fact that it uses such bold colors–reds, pinks, and greens, rather than the muted tones that seem to dominate a lot of preemie clothes.  I’m always a fan of these kimono two piece sets early on.  Our newborn pretty much lives in them because they are so much easier to get on and off.

This outfit is made in the USA from 100% cotton.  It features a wrap front that snaps closed (much easier than fussing with ties), a ribbed collar and cuffs, and sweet lettuce edges on the hemline of the pants.  This outfit will definitely make your little one stand out.  You can purchase it for $50 at BestDressedKids.com.

Every parent feels that his or her newborn should be treated like royalty. Now you can advertise your feelings about your baby to the world with this Royalty Newborn Bodysuit by Rocawear.
