Eco-Friendly Baby Feeding
12 eco-friendly feeding products that are gentle to baby and the earth.

It's not easy being green, especially when there's a baby in the house. Our little ones may be small, but they often end up leaving a big carbon footprint. At the dinner table, baby can have a big impact on Mother Nature, and it is up to us, parents and eco-friendly consumers, to lower the environmental cost of having a tiny mouth to feed.
So what's a mama to do? Four words: when possible, avoid plastic. Plastic is light and cheap, and there's a lot of it in the baby feeding aisle. It is also durable and doesn't just go away. It ends up in landfills, invades natural habitats, and injures wildlife. Plastic isn't too kind to baby either. It contains chemicals like Bisphenol A (BPA) – a plasticizer that is known to disrupt our hormone system and be linked to a long list of serious health problems. In 2012, the FDA banned the use of BPA in children's food products. This move basically solidified a practice that many manufacturers had already adopted; and the regulation still doesn't guarantee that we are in the clear. In fact, studies have shown that BPA substitutions aren't automatically safer.
It's a lot to take in, but not to worry. There are many eco-friendly products out there that can help you green up your parenting act. Here are 12 picks that we think will allow you to feed your baby, sans toxin, while doing some good for the planet.
