Joanna Goddard shares the 10 natural baby products that
she can't live without.

1

organic baby carrier

The Ergo is the comfiest baby carrier I've used. It's easy to put on and doesn't make your back ache like other carriers often do; plus, I love cuddling up with Toby as we walk around town.
2

wooden utensils

These utensils are made with 100% organically grown bamboo and are just the right size for tiny hands.
3

glass bottles

A recent study showed that plastic bottles can leach a hormone-like chemical into the milk. Yikes! So we quickly ordered these Lifefactory glass bottles, which are colorful and safe.
4

organic crib sheets

Since Toby spends more than 12 hours per day sleeping in his crib, I definitely wanted his crib sheets to be natural. Luckily, DwellStudio's crib sheets are organic and adorable.
5

wooden teething toys

Little Alouette natural wooden teethers are made by a mother of three in Ohio. They're playful, safe and soothing — and a nice change from plastic!
6

organic bodysuits

Hessnatur makes sweet and simple baby clothes made with 100% organic cotton.
7

seventh generation diapers

To be honest, I initially thought these diapers felt like garbage bags! But I quickly realized how awesome they are. They're hypoallergenic and free of fragrances, latex and chlorine — which is essential since they're right against baby's sensitive skin all day long. (We use Seventh Generation baby wipes, too.)

natural cleaning products

Since babies chew on everything (and lick the floors!), our household cleaning products seemed too harsh for Toby. Now we use Mrs. Meyer's Baby Blossom laundry detergent (which is certified organic and smells like wildflowers), Mrs. Meyers dish soap, and Mrs. Meyers hand soap.

gentle body wash

Every mom I know loves California Baby — I always spot it in our friends' bathtubs! Developed by a mother, the body wash is all-natural, non-drying and non-irritating.
10

Mabo

If I could buy only one pair of pants for Toby, they would be Mabo's pants. He wore them all winter and we already bought a pair for next year! Mabo baby clothes are made in small batches with only natural fabrics — cotton, linen and wool.
