Ubabub Podcot

If you are trying to create a more eco friendly nursery, it's a great idea to get a cot that can easily transform into a toddler bed as your child grows. This cuts out the buying of extra beds and could save you some money as well. Australian company Ubabub make a couple of lovely eco-friendly cots with a see-through side so that you can easily check on your baby. They also have some very cute wall art.

Organic Baby Accessories

Whatever the weather, there is always a need for baby accessories: hats to protect from the sun, caps and booties for the cold, wraps for comfort and protection and towels for the everyday bath.

The skin of babies is very delicate and sensitive, far more so than that of an adult. Fabrics containing chemicals, in close contact with the skin, can contribute to rashes and skin irritations, as well as respiratory problems. Choosing organic cotton products is not only completely safe for your baby, but will help provide a cleaner and healthier environment now and in the future.

All of our organic baby accessories are made from 100% organic cotton which is completely chemical free and safe for your infant, Not only are these baby products environmentally-friendly, they will help keep your baby healthy and happy. Baby accessories also make ideal gifts for a baby shower and a newborn baby.

Dangers of Fire Retardants

I have been looking into buying a cot mattress for my little baby and have been suprised to find more dangers to be aware of when buying things for my precious bubba. Fire Retardants are sprayed on many synthetic fabrics to stop them melting if exposed to flames, that includes bedding and clothing (including polyester pyjamas), baby seats, furniture, computers and much more. These fire retardants are made up of highly toxic chemicals which studies have found can cause all sorts of horrific health problems including immune suppression, hormone disruption, learning and memory problems, behavioral changes, and cancer. As well as fire retardants, there are also other chemicals added in the manufacturing of bedding, so to me it seems crazy to have my little girl sleeping and breathing in a toxic coctail of chemicals for so many hours a day.
I'm looking into organic cotton matresses at the moment, to put my mind at ease when I put my bubba to bed at night. These seem quite expensive but at least I'll have the peace of mind of knowing that my baby isn't breathing in toxins that could easily be avoided. Along with lovely organic pyjamas I hope to give her the healthiest start to life.
I'd love to hear from anyone who knows a good non-toxic mattress that's available in Australia.
