Bizz chats with new co-host, Cara, about her tips on being an eco-mom.
Things we talk about:
- Reusable Diapers
- Reusable Wipes (See Sniffle Crate Pattern on Etsy)
- Diaper services
- Babies grow so quickly
- Get clothing second hand
- Get toys second hand, too
- Choose toys from natural materials, avoid things that take batteries.
- Formula
- Choose concentrates like powder
- Consider the materials that the formula comes in - metal cans are more easily recycled than a pouch or something with mixed materials
- Baby food jars are only reusable if you have a use for them - and you end up with A LOT
- Make your own baby food - it's just cooked, blended veggies
- Maternity clothes are temporary - borrow or get used
- Safety devices, such as car seats - know the history, or get it new. You don't want to skimp on safety!
