Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature Glass Bottle: Some types of plastic bottles contain BPA, a potentially harmful toxin for babies, which is why many parents are making the conscious decision to opt for glass bottles.

We love this one from Tommee Tippee as it features their award-winning Closer to Nature teat, which is shaped like a breast, because babies prefer it that way, helping ensure a latch every time.

The Gro Company Hip-Healthy Groswaddle: Cotton is one of the most common fabrics used in infant clothing as it is soft, gentle on baby’s skin and most importantly has a far smaller environmental impact than synthetic materials. The Groswaddle is made from 100 percent cotton to keep your newborn comfortable for naps and night-times. The unique pocket at the front also creates space for hip healthy, natural leg development.

Tooshies by TOM: The average bub will go through 5,000-10,000 nappies before they are toilet trained, with over 2 billion dirty nappies ending up in Australian landfill every year. That’s a lot of waste, and cloth nappies aren’t always the most suitable options for parents. Tooshies are compostable and don’t include crude oils and plastics as they are made with plant based materials, meaning its safer to use on your baby. They also come in super cute patterns… which is always important.
