Safest Baby Products to Use

When it comes to looking after babies, safety is always the caretaker’s top priority. Whether you are a parent, an older sibling, a guardian, or a babysitter, if there is a young one in your life, your entire time with them is likely plagued by some sort of anxiety for their safety. And it is completely normal too! After all, worrying for the well-being of someone dependent on you is just a form of care and love.

However, there are a couple of drawbacks to this form of love. To put it simply, constantly worrying will lead to adverse effects on your mental and physical health, which will be problematic in the long run. Furthermore, it is difficult to properly enjoy the time we get with loved ones when in a constant state of anxiety. Children will not remain children forever, which is why parents and guardians tend to want to cherish all possible moments with them. 

So, it is not ideal to always be scared for your baby's safety, especially as it will result in missing precious moments. The caretaker will not be able to be completely available at the moment due to constant worrying. Unfortunately, this means that they will not be able to connect with the infant appropriately. This could result in early on-set anxiety within the baby and tamper with their development.

But worry not! Considering all these points of worry, we have collected helpful information to ease your fears and increase your baby’s safety. So sit back, and bookmark the page before going any further so you can always return to it!

There is a wide range of products needed for the proper care and management of a baby. It is indispensable that the things used/provided by caretakers are safe for the baby and their surroundings. Here are the main categories that require proper baby care products:

• BathingClothing
• Diapering
• Feeding
• Furnishing
• Playing
• Traveling

The following will be a guide on the safest baby products to use, keeping these 7 categories in mind. 

Bathing Products

While scented shampoos and body wash for your tiny one can be appealing, it is well worth keeping in mind that some of these products may cause dryness and irritation of the skin. Also, go for baby products labeled tear-free or no-tears as these are safe to use freely on the baby. Otherwise, be careful with the soap/shampoo around the baby’s eyes.

Aveeno Baby Wash and Shampoo:

This is the best baby bathing product in terms of safety and practicality. Its 2-in-1 package of body wash and shampoo makes for a more convenient and easy bath time. It is

• Mild on the skin

Hudson Baby Animal Face Hooded Towel: 

Naturally, after bathing and cleaning comes the baby wrapping up! It is essential to properly dry and safe-keep your baby before dressing them up to avoid irritation or rashes. If your baby ends up looking even more adorable, wrapped up in an animal-themed towel, it is a bonus! This hooded towel:

• Includes a wide variety of prints/themes

Burt’s Bees Baby Nourishing Baby Oil:

Clothing

Who doesn’t want to dress up their baby in the cutest clothes? Many brands are catering to adorable baby fashion now. But there is a catch! Your infant must be in comfort as much as in style. Here is a compact list of trusted baby brands to dress up your baby from:

Boody: 

This is the best place to get organic clothes for your baby. Boody is best known for its maintainable bamboo onesies, which are comfortable and eco-friendly at the same time while making sure your baby looks adorable! You can also get cute and safe-to-wear tops, bottoms, socks, blankets/wraps, and baby accessories.

Burt’s Bees Baby: 

Along with organic bathing and skincare products, Burt’s Bees is also one of the best options to buy affordable and comfortable baby clothing, family pajama sets, jumpsuits, and other children’s clothing.

Pact: 

This is a brand that ensures that along with its products being attractive and practical, its surroundings are positive too! Pact is famous for its non-GMO organic cotton bodysuits. You can also purchase your baby’s tops, bottoms, bodysuits, and sleepwear. The pact also works to raise awareness about sweatshops, child labor, and debt slavery. Furthermore, all garments are ethically made, and all workers receive living wages.

Finn+ Emma: 

This brand believes in keeping it organic- from clothes to toys! Although it is best known for its hand-knit, artisan-made toys, you can also buy adorable and stylish bodysuits, pajama sets, and toys and accessories made from 100% organic cotton, eco-friendly dyes, and all-natural wood.

Diapering

Diapers and pampers are essential in baby care and management! Anyone with a baby in their life, whichever form of relation it is, tends to become a diapering expert to some extent. Whether you’re a sibling, a close aunt/uncle, a babysitter, or something else! Of course, it’s a different story for the parents :D In any case, it’s important that you learn the little tells and make a habit of checking up regularly on the baby’s diaper. 

Even then, it’s important to watch the quality of the diapers used because babies have sensitive skin. If not cleaned up in time, or left in soiled diapers, they can easily develop rashes and get irritation. Here are some eco-friendly diapers to put your baby in and be sure that the little one’s bottom will be well protected:

Abby & Finn: 

Their diaper bundles come with baby care essentials like diaper balm and baby wash. They also support families in need by donating 30 diapers per bundle to such families. These diapers are free of:

Feeding

Food

Mealtime is the most critical time of the day. As the saying goes, you are what you eat! Since babies are in their earliest stages of development, their nourishment is the most important! It’s scary to give anything edible to babies, primarily due to recent research showing the harmful metals being found in baby foods. The following is a list of some of the safest, non-toxic baby foods you can use comfortably:

Ella’s Kitchen: 

This is a British brand known for making baby food pouches. They are primarily only sold in the UK, but some of their items can be bought on Amazon.

• All food is certified organic
• Most are vegetable-based instead of fruit-based
• Reasonably priced

Little Spoon: 

This is a newer startup that makes and delivers fresh baby food blends to your door. All of their product is made in southern California and is available only through their website. Little Spoon blends:

• Our certified USDA organic
• Mostly have a great nutritional profile
• Arrive fresh and must be consumed within 14 days
• Do not contain any preservatives or pasteurization

YUMI: 

This is an online-only brand highly committed to the safety of food products. YUMI claims that they partner with only USDA-certified organic and non-GMO project verified farms. YUMI:

• Uses only organic ingredients
• Regularly tests the ingredients for heavy metals
• Regularly tests the finished products for heavy metals
• Does not use any soy, rice, or fruit juice
• Ensures their food is free from pesticides and chemical fertilizers

Feeding Bottles

It is without a doubt of paramount importance that you take care of what you feed your baby. However, it is equally important to ensure that what you are using to provide the little one is also of good quality and safe to use. Before moving on to the list of safest baby bottles, here are a few tips to care for baby feeding bottles:

• Never store breast milk or formula in plastic bottles. Instead, pour it into the bottle just before feeding. If there is any leftover, throw it immediately.
• Don’t use hot water or a harsh cleaner when washing polycarbonate bottles as this will cause the plastic to break down more quickly. Instead, use a mild cleaner and warm water.
• Replace any glass bottles if they have cracks or chips!

Glass or stainless steel bottles are the safest and best option for feeding your baby. Silicone bottles are not the best option, but they are okay to use in case glass or stainless steel isn’t available. But avoid plastic baby bottles, even if they are BPA-free. 

Moreover, be careful of the material the bottle nipple is made of! A baby bottle nipple made of food-grade silicone is so far the safest, most resilient, and hygienic. The natural rubber nipples from credible companies like Hevea or Natursutten are also trustworthy. Avoid synthetic latex nipples as they contain a number of worrying additives.

Born Free Bottles: 

Born Free is a brand that makes glass bottles that are safe for babies. It also makes plastic bottles that are free of BPA, phthalates, and PVC, for those who still choose to buy plastic bottles.

Dr. Brown's Glass Bottle: 

This is a line of bottles and bottle accessories from Handi-Craft. Dr. Brown makes glass bottles and polypropylene bottles, which are BPA-free. The brand also makes a polycarbonate bottle, which is the material of concern regarding BPA, so if you're opting for plastic, be sure to check the number!

Evenflo Glass Bottles: 

This brand has launched a glass bottle line. Evenflo also makes polypropylene, BPA-free plastic breastmilk storage bottles.

Joovy Glass Bottle: 

This brand not only provides safe-to-use glass bottles but has gone above and beyond in bottle nipple safety. Joovy bottle nipples are baked during manufacturing, thus making them durable soft enough for the baby to use comfortably. Additionally, with Joovy, you get five different nipple flows for your baby, an adapter so the bottles can be used with a pump and a matching silicone sleeve for easy grip of the bottle.

Feeding Spoons

Avalanche Stainless Steel: 

These spoons are made without using any plastic. These Avanchee spoons are made from resilient stainless steel and silicone. Their short and wide handle is great for older babies and toddlers just learning to feed themselves.

Monee Silicone: 

These baby feeding spoons are made entirely from 100% BPA and phthalates-free platinum silicone. The Monee Silicone baby spoons are soft on the baby’s gums and easy for the baby to handle. Due to its textured end and bendiness, this spoon also doubles as a teether for the baby to chew and gnaw as their teeth start breaking through.
