Organic Baby Supplies
Organic Baby Supplies cover a whole range of products which need to be supplied for the baby from time to time, and more so, at the right time. So, this is all about providing the baby with the right organic product of his need, in right quantity, at the right time and at a right place and trying to maintain an unbroken chain of such supplies so that your commitment towards giving your baby an organic way of life is not compromised with. Although all the parents must be aware of their babies’ needs, it will be very easy for them managing the supplies if they take a little pain to categorize them and order them according to their priorities.
The Organic Baby Supplies can be categorized under following categories.
Organic Baby Feeding Supplies: This category includes all the things you need to feed the baby, viz. organic baby food (see the article with the same title); a feeding bottle made up of organic material (if not possible, then made up of glass); organic feeding spoons, tumblers and bowls (can be made up of organic wood, otherwise glass); organic baby formula etc. You just need to make sure that these things are absolutely organic and have proper certification of authenticity and to maintain a reasonable stock at home well in advance so that you do not have to worry in case there is a short supply in the market.
Organic Baby Clothing Supplies: As obvious, this category includes all the organic clothes for your baby you could think of. This again, can be further classified under daily wear, sleeping clothes, warm clothes etc. Again, you should pick up only those clothes which are made up of organic natural fibers and have been certified by the recognized agencies. In this case, you need not and you should not maintain a big stock at home because your baby is growing up (the whole lot may be wasted if falls short in size) and does not need a new set of clothes every other day.
Organic Baby Hygiene & Sanitary Supplies: I am talking of those organic diapers, nappies, wipes, bibs, towels, burps etc., which will eventually form a part of your sweet memories. The wipes, sanitary gloves etc. used by the parents and the baby sitters (which are indirectly used for the baby) can also be accommodated in this category. Once again, you need to maintain a good stock of these items because they are very frequently (almost always) used and many of them like the diapers, nappies etc. often do not get a chance to be reused (you know why). Since these things add up to a huge quantity of garbage every day around the world, you must choose the organic ones so that they do not become a threat to the environment.
Organic Baby Cosmetic Supplies: This set of supplies call for a strict vigilance of the contents. They should and must be absolutely organic and natural. So, never compromise with the certificate and the contents. They include organic baby creams, baby lotions, baby oils, balms, talcum powders, tooth pastes, soaps, shampoos etc. Any compromise in this will mean providing your baby with some toxic petroleum gel and chemicals. These things are not needed in bulk and therefore you need not maintain a big stock.
Organic Baby Safety Supplies: These supplies are not in frequent use but are of much importance. These may include baby car seats, crib bumpers etc. It is also very difficult to find the organic versions of these items, because it does not make much difference in their being organic or non organic and so companies are not thinking over it. So, if you are not getting them organic, you can cover them with some organic cloth to make them semi-organic. But still, it does not make much of a difference because your baby will not be in their contact for a long.
Organic Baby Entertainment Supplies: Now, truly speaking, you cannot call them supplies. They are neither essential nor are needed to be supplied continuously. But whenever you pick one for your baby, make sure that it is organic. Look for the certificate.
Market Review: Manufacturers and vendors of Organic Baby Supplies have a bright future ahead, as the awareness towards organic products is increasing steadily and consequently the demand is rising.
Certifications: There are some authorized and recognized agencies who certify not only these Organic Baby Supplies, but also any type of organic product. It is not necessary that every agency certifies all types of organic products, neither it is necessary that a particular type of organic product will be certified by any of the agencies. There are some products which are not certified at all and you need to use your conscience in those cases. Still, the list of some of the well known agencies are given below;
- Global Organic Textile Standards (GOTS)
- USDA National Organic Program (NOP)
- European Organic Regulations (EU 2092/91)
- Export Certificates for Japan (JAS Equivalent)
- Indian National Programme for Organic Production (NPOP)
- Quebec Organic Reference Standard (CAAQ)
- Bio Suisse Standards
- IOFAM Basic Standards
Organic Baby Supplies are the need of the hour and of tomorrow. Encouraging these supplies means ensuring a better health for your baby and for the environment and a step towards a better, less polluted earth.
