As a women’s health and integrative dietitian, sustainable living expert, AND mom to an energetic toddler and a new baby, I’m constantly searching for the most sustainable, non-toxic items for moms and babies. Having a baby registry filled with items that you actually need and will actually use helps you stay organized and have some control over what comes into your home when the baby arrives! And, when getting so many new items for baby, it’s a great time to choose items that are better for the environment and contain the safest ingredients.

The following list includes my favorite items that are functional and safe for you, your new baby, and the environment. I’ve broken the items down by categories to make it even easier to follow!
