In recent years, the importance of sustainability has gained significant attention in various aspects of our lives. From our daily choices to larger decisions, embracing eco-friendly practices can make a real difference. When it comes to creating a nursery for your baby, incorporating sustainable practices is not only beneficial for the environment but also for your little one's health. Let's explore how you can establish a sustainable nursery while decreasing your carbon footprint.

Reducing Harmful Chemicals & Toxins 

• Organic bedding & mattresses – Babyletto has a wide variety of safe-for-baby bedding designs and mattress sizes. The Pure Core Crib Mattress is not only GREENGUARD Gold Certified, but hypoallergenic, free from chemical flame retardants, and made with 100% recycled polyester. Shop here.  
• Eco-performance fabrics – At least 30 recycled plastic bottles are used in the making of the soft and durable eco-performance fabrics covering select Namesake chairs, utilizing LiveSmart performance fabric + 30% REPREVE® recycled yarn. Find them here. 
• FSC® CERTIFIED WOOD - The FSC® label means that a product’s wood comes from well-managed, FSC®-certified forests, and has been harvested to benefit communities, wildlife, and the environment.  
• Non-toxic paints – Each Namesake product is finished in a non-toxic multi-step staining and painting process. The paint used for all our products is formaldehyde and lead-safe with undetectable levels of formaldehyde in all our furniture, granting it its GREENGUARD Gold Certification.  
• Sustainably sourced wooden furniture - Our cribs, dressers, and changers are made from New Zealand Pine Wood, one of the most sustainable and renewable wood resources available. Check them out here. 

These choices provide a healthier and greener environment for your baby, ensuring they are surrounded by natural and safe materials. 

Reducing Waste  

Another important aspect of a sustainable nursery is minimizing waste. By adopting simple practices, you can significantly reduce your environmental impact. Here are some ideas to get you started: 

• Swap out disposable diapers for reusable cloth diapers. Bambino Mio has a wide variety of sizes and is a highly regarded brand. 
• Invest in furniture and storage solutions, such as our 3-in-1 and 4-in-1 convertible cribs, that can be repurposed as your child grows.  
• Set up a recycling station within the nursery to encourage responsible waste management.  

By incorporating these tips, you are well on your way to creating a nursery that is both sustainable and functional. 

Eco-Friendly Brands to Consider 

Creating a sustainable nursery goes beyond just aesthetics; it is an investment in your baby's future and the well-being of our planet. By using organic materials, reducing waste, and opting for eco-friendly brands, you can establish a nursery that promotes a greener and healthier lifestyle. Let's embrace sustainability as we nurture our little ones, ensuring a brighter and more sustainable future for generations to come.
