When my daughter was born I decided to use cloth wipes instead of disposable, and bought 2 packs of Prince Lionheart Warmies Cloth Bamboo Wipes. They come 8 to a pack and they are the softest little cloths that I found. I used them in the warmer until she was a few months old and then I started using Nature's Babycare biodegradeble wipes. Once she started eating solids (with her hands) I started using the bamboo wipes to wipe her hands and face after eating. Another great use I found for them was wetting and freezing them to use as teething relief. They're just the right size for little hands and mouths and they're made of natural bamboo fibers. Only bummer is you cannot dry them in the dryer, so I hang them to dry. They're worth it.

Wipes that keep on giving

Safe suds
As I just flipped through a baby's first objects book with my daughter, we arrived to the tugboat, which she pointed at inquisitively wanting to hear what it was. I said "Bote" in spanish and thought to myself, we need a "bote" in her bathtub. Then I thought the dreaded thought that I always think...where am I going to find one that isn't toxic. I just went onto Uncommon Goods website to search for something unrelated and came across this little beauty. BPA, PVC and Phtalate-free and made from recycled plastic milk jugs.

Add iron the old-fashioned way
I recently found out that my daughter's iron levels are leaving a little to be desired, so I've been pushing the eggs, spinach and beans, but another natural way to add iron to your little one's (as well as your) diet is to cook in cast iron cookwear. I just purchased this dutch oven with glass lid (I got the 10.25" size). Don't be tempted by pretty, colorful enamel-coated cast-iron wear, since your food will not absorb any iron through the coating. Also worth noting is that Lodge cast iron cookwear is made here in the old U.S. of A. Details at www.lodgemfg.com. Also available through Amazon (Obsessed Moms also gets a small percentage if you purchase one through this link:)Lodge Dutch Ovens with Glass Lid
