Episode Synopsis

Bizz chats with new co-host, Cara, about her tips on being an eco-mom.
 
Things we talk about:
Reusable Diapers
Reusable Wipes (See Sniffle Crate Pattern on Etsy)
Diaper services
Babies grow so quickly
Get clothing second hand
Get toys second hand, too


Choose toys from natural materials, avoid things that take batteries.
Formula
Choose concentrates like powder
Consider the materials that the formula comes in - metal cans are more easily recycled than a pouch or something with mixed materials


Baby food jars are only reusable if you have a use for them - and you end up with A LOT
Make your own baby food - it's just cooked, blended veggies
Maternity clothes are temporary - borrow or get used
Safety devices, such as car seats - know the history, or get it new. You don't want to skimp on safety!
