Eco-Friendly Nursing Products

 
Whether it's the food we feed them, the sheets they sleep on, or the toys they play with, we've established that raising baby as eco-friendly as possible is a good thing. But what about Mom? Well, she can really benefit from the plethora of amazing (and totally green!) products out there too. This month, we scoured all our favorite resources for the best eco-friendly nursing gear. The term "Mother Earth" just took on a whole new meaning!
 

 

Earth Mama Angel Baby

Natural Nipple Butter

Earth Mama Angel Baby’s Nipple Cream is so natural that it’s actually unnecessary to clean it off before nursing. The completely organic formula contains healing calendula and moisturizing mango butter so “cracked” and “sore” will be words of the past. And the smell is heavenly!

Jolie Maman

"Kylyn" Nursing Nightie

Who said nursing wear couldn’t be sexy (and organic)? Certainly not Jolie Maman, who has created this extremely soft, flattering nightie made of 100% organic cotton and soybean fiber. Featuring adjustable straps, an empire waist, and graceful v-neck, we’re thinking we could wear this hot little number out on the town!

KidKraft

Nursing Stool

Sometimes it’s nearly impossible to get that perfectly comfortable position when nursing. Made from rubberwood with a non-toxic, lead-free finish, this adjustable nursing stool from KidKraft elevates your lap so you can get perfect positioning with minimal strain on the back and shoulders. The best part is that this stool can be used under your desk long after baby stops breastfeeding.

Bebe au Lait

Nursing Cover

The company that brought fashionable nursing shawls to breastfeeding moms has recently debuted their organic line, Simple, a 100% certified organic linen nursing cover. Available in five colors, the Simple line features the same great rigid neckline as the original Bebe au Lait covers, allowing for ventilation and easy eye contact with your little one.

We love the terrycloth pocket that doubles as a clean-up cloth, or can hold pacifiers and breast pads. And the shawl can easily double as a blanket or a sunshade over your baby’s stroller.

(And how can you resist a company that also goes by the name "Hooter Hiders"?!)

Under the Nile

Cotton Nursing Camisole

When it comes to organic cotton baby clothes, Under the Nile is one of the most recognized and respected brands. In addition to soft, organic fabric, their designs are sweet and simple. How smart they were to come out with nursing gear which follows the same principles. This delicate, feminine nursing cami can be worn alone or layered.

Bare Organics

Cotton Nursing Pads

If you’re making sure that only the most organic materials touch your baby’s skin, then why not do the same for yourself? These nursing pads are 100% organic cotton and seamless, so you can discreetly disguise leakage.

Mambino Organics

Mommy Comfort Pack

If your new mom schedule won’t let you get to the spa, using these 100% organic, essential oil-based products at home is a great substitute. The mommy comfort set includes all the staples: olive calendula nipple cream to help soreness, omega face complex to keep mama glowing even after many sleepless nights, body toning oil (for obvious reasons!), lavender/chamomile aromatherapy for relaxation, and the nectarine scented "Summer in Tuscany" soy candle. Ciao, bella!
