Many of us already use cloth to reduce landfill, make our own baby food to reduce food miles, etc, but what are some other ways you feel you help the environment? I thought we could share some tips.
I guess one of mine would be recycling. Not just your household waste, but using second hand items where possible (clothing, baby furniture) in a pay it forward style system. Babies grow out of stuff so quickly, if you pass on everything in good condition, you'll generally find what goes around comes around should you ever need stuff again.
I followed a blog once from a lady who was not buying anything new for her baby (only the car seat I think) and it was really interesting. A lot of people turn their nose up at second hand things. Yet so much of the stuff we end up with we don't even use! If you put every item in a pile from the day you had your baby until the day they turned 2, it would be a huge pile! By using that stuff twice or more, you are reducing the number of those piles, reducing carbon, saving trees etc.
What about you?

Hi I'm new here, my name is Sonni
I'm wanting to make my own baby wash. Any favorite recipes? I would like to start making my own but can't seem to find any that I like.
Thanks in advance!

I'm 10 weeks pregnant with my first and I have a TERRIBLE headache! I have tried hydrating more, eating better (more protein and fruits/veggies), I am taking my prenatal vitamins religiously, and have tried using essential oils. I was even desperate enough to take Tylenol, which never does anything for me.. I would love any advice you ladies might have for treating my headache.. I'll try anything (with the exception of medication) to get some relief!

Just ordered a necklace for my ds. Was wondering at what age people started using the necklace? He has been drooling a ton lately (better not be getting teeth yet) and I heard that it can help with that. Experiences?
