[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hard to avoid all of these chemicals, but here are some things that I bought that put my mind more at ease:

Diapers:  Cloth, with Seventh Gen for when I need disposables

High chair:  Stokke

Crib:  Costco's organic mattress, topped with a wool puddle pad (Google for options) and an organic cotton mattress pad on top of that.  Purchased a few months ahead to air everything out.  Actual crib is a hand-me-down.

Clothes:  Lucked out with tons of hand-me-downs for the first year

You do what you can, but try not to make yourself crazy.  There's plenty of worry for each day as there is, so you really have to find a way to get some perspective on this.  Best wishes and congratulations![/quote]

Thanks! I have a Naturepedic Organic mattresses for the bassinet, crib and moses basket that I also have been airing out for a few months. My crib is Pacific Rim solid wood. I also have tons of hand me down clothes, so not many organic things, but I will try to use mostly cotton outfits and hopefully they have been washed enough that it's OK.

Thanks for the help. I am trying not to go drive myself crazy and not irritate my husband to death (he also gets annoyed at my organic food habit b/c it's so expensive). I just wish he was a little more understanding but he is the kind of guy who eats at McDonald's frequently! LOL!![/quote]
