[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - I'm another neurotic mom! I don't regret it one bit and in fact, my complete neuroticism about this the first time around completely scared everyone around me about gifts for us and our baby, so we've received minimal plastic, toxic junk (which aside from the health and environmental concerns is ugly and bulky and frankly we don't have the space for). [/quote]

thanks for all the tips! I have to use disposable diapers b/c my kid will be in daycare (can you imagine if I asked them to clean cloth ones?!?! LOL). But I will try the ones you suggested although my MIL bought about 10 boxes of Huggies Pure and Natural, which have an organic cotton cover, but I am sure underneath they are normal diapers with chemicals.

I have bought all Naturepedic Organic mattresses (for crib, bassinet, moses basket) and I am hoping that even though they are mainstream, that it's a reputable brand -- they have a lot of certifications and customer service is great and helpful.

I bought my crib from Organic grace and it's solid wood with non-toxic finish. Have an organic BabyBjorn bouncer seat, glass bottles, BPA free eat-wear (made by Think Baby).

What about pacifiers? Any recommendations?

I got all hand me down clothes, so very few organic items there......

The pressure to buy all these junkie swings, bouncers, pack and plays is incredible. People bought us tons of stuff I don't want for my shower -- plastics, polyesters, fisher price cr*p. Some I can return and some I can't. I also got a lot of hand me down junk from friends and family. I don't need to use it, but the pressure is there to use this "cute, adorable" toxic baby stuff! My husband wants to use it all too and does not believe my concern about toxins. [/quote]
