Eco Mom

Bizz chats with new co-host, Cara, about her tips on being an eco-mom.

 

Things we talk about:

• Reusable Diapers
• Reusable Wipes (See Sniffle Crate Pattern on Etsy)
• Diaper services
• Babies grow so quickly
  • Get clothing second hand
  • Get toys second hand, too
• Choose toys from natural materials, avoid things that take batteries.
• Formula
  • Choose concentrates like powder
  • Consider the materials that the formula comes in - metal cans are more easily recycled than a pouch or something with mixed materials
• Baby food jars are only reusable if you have a use for them - and you end up with A LOT
• Make your own baby food - it's just cooked, blended veggies
• Maternity clothes are temporary - borrow or get used
• Safety devices, such as car seats - know the history, or get it new. You don't want to skimp on safety!
