Going green in the nursery? There are so many ways you can accomplish this; natural fibers, cloth diapers, and all-natural cribs. Celebrities like Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban purchased the very best in eco-friendly cribs, the Q Collection Junior Solare Crib, made of ash and bent wood from “responsible managed forests” and a mattress support made of 100% recyclable material. Completely non-toxic and indoor air quality certified, it is really quite a bed for eco-conscious babies everywhere. It is $1220.00 at BabyEearth.com.

In a perfect world, we’d all have cribs made of earth friendly materials designed to sustain our world and create a better world for our children, but can most of us afford it? I found the Oak Americana Solid Wood Crib at PristinePlanet.com for $470, along with many other organic baby products.  At sagebabynyc.com, the Radius Crib is a non-toxic choice for $750. Have a look around; the cribs might cost a bit more but they could be very worth the expense.
 
 

This is a beautiful gift set that includes one Avocado Damask nursing cover, one Pink & Cocoa Damask bamboo blanket, and three sets of two burp cloths in Avocado Damask. You might try to find a way to just mention that Nicole Kidman received this eco-friendly gift bag for the birth of little Sunday Rose.

The Itzy Rizty Bitzy Burper Summer Rose Gift Bag can be viewed at sandboxcouture.com where it is priced at $130. I think this is an all-around great gift for baby’s shower because it includes several terrific features: it’s made fro eco-friendly materials, the blanket is made from bamboo products which are much more baby-friendly for keeping baby cool and comfortable, the set includes a matching nurser and it’s Damask.

Founded by a mom and dad team, Itzy Ritzy offers a number of products made from high-quality fabrics.  The print choices are stunning.  It is no wonder that the company has won the respect of celebrity parents such as Nicole Kidman, Christina Aguilera, and Halle Berry.

Check out the company’s extensive collection of burp cloths, nursing covers, and other practical products made from eco-friendly bamboo.  If you haven’t yet had a chance to feel the softness of bamboo fabrics, you will be delightfully surprised.  I particularly like this burp cloth which is made from bamboo and Creamsicle Swirl fabric.  The orange print is modern, fun, and appropriate for babies of either sex.

You can purchase the eco-friendly burp cloth for $20.  If you love the print, it is also available as an infant or toddler car seat cover ($119.99), a shopping cart cover ($68), or a nursing cover ($49.50).  You can buy them at the company’s website: itzyritzy.com.  These products would make very attractive gifts as well.

Rumored to be among the baby gifts Nicole Kidman received for her new daughter, moccasins from Nowali are as practical as they are sweet.  Made from a cotton blend knit upper with a suede sole, these shoes are toasty for little feet and skid resistant to help keep new walkers safe.  They are also machine washable, so you don’t need to worry about keeping them spotless.

These cute little shoes are available in pink, blue, and ivory, and and sizes from 6-18 months.  The company also makes a wide range of other fun moccasins for little feet.  You can purchase a pair for $28 from MilkShop.com.
