As parents, creating a safe and nurturing environment for our little ones is our top priority. From the crib they sleep in to the toys they play with, every choice we make can have a profound impact on their health and well-being. One crucial consideration that often gets overlooked is the importance of non-toxic choices for baby furniture and products, particularly when it comes to furniture finishes.
If you’re expecting your first baby, your Facebook and Instagram feeds are probably filled with ads for “must have” baby products.
From swaddles that promise the best night’s sleep, to playmats that guarantee a higher IQ, there’s no shortage of products for new parents to consider.
But instead of giving you a list of more products to buy, I am here to help you figure out which products to avoid.

It may feel like bringing a baby into the world couldn’t possibly be done while leading a less wasteful lifestyle.

But… what is supposed to be fun and exciting often turns into a stressful shopping trip where you buy everything or put everything on the registry that anyone and everyone you know has recommended.
