All Natural Swaddling - Like a Safe, Organic Hug for the Baby

Parents can get pretty intense when it comes to picking the most natural, safe, and beneficial products to use on or have around their newborns. And rightly so, although this puts a lot of pressure on people picking baby gifts -- you don't want to be the bad friend who put the vulnerable little angle in any danger!
Just like with products for adults, in the past five years it's gotten easier to find high quality organic baby products that are also stylish.
One great source for organic, all natural baby gifts is peek a green. This site was started by a mom who was hunting for safe and eco-friendly baby gifts. She packaged her finds into collections, like bamboo, newborn essentials and safe $10 gifts. She also has them categorized by activity, price, and age.
In addition to ensuring that all of the products offered are made in fair-trade environments, the clothing is all 100% certified organic cotton, the wooden toys are all from renewable and sustainably managed sources, and you won't find a BPA or PVC molecule anywhere near the bottles and eating accessories.
Swaddling blankets are always a great shower gift, and peek a green has a very nice Dreamsacks bamboo swaddling gift set that includes a blanket, hat, and socks. The stylish color block design is great for the mom who wants to avoid cutesy flowers and baby animals in the nursery.
Aden + Anais offers a line of organic muslin swaddling wraps that just won a fourth iParenting Media Award. The line was created by two Australian moms who moved to the states and couldn't find swaddling wraps that were made of muslin, which is particularly breathable and comfortable for babies, regardless of the weather and temperature. They are also cute enough to give as baby shower gifts, with interesting and pretty patterns.
Over at eSwaddle you can shop the entire SwaddleDesigns collection, including the Organic Ultimate Receiving blanket which was designed by a nurse. It comes in a swell kiwi green mod design, and has the swaddling instructions sewn onto to the blanket. The organic flannel is GOTS certified, and totally free of harsh dyes.
