GERBER CHILDRENSWEAR | TIPS FOR CREATING A GREEN NURSERY

Choose organic bedding. An organic cotton-filled mattress with wool casting creates an environmentally safe addition to a crib. Organic sheets, such as those in the Organic Layette Collection by Gerber, are made of 100 percent certified organic cotton fibers (certified by Control Union World Group to meet GOTS Standards for sustainable textile production and standards for the processing of natural fibers) and are naturally soft against baby’s sensitive skin.

Utilize organic washcloths and cloth diapers instead of disposable. Organic washcloths and cloth diapers are not only made of 100 percent certified organic cotton fibers, but they are good for the environment, too. They are also reusable and recyclable.

Choose a converting crib. By choosing a crib that grows with baby to a toddler bed and a full size bed, you don’t have the hassle of purchasing three different beds. This not only lessens the impact on the environment, but saves you money!
