Finding baby products that deliver on their promises can feel overwhelming when you are faced with endless options. We've discovered several producers that are taking a different approach, creating products that prioritize safety, quality, and thoughtful design.
When sisters Egle and Lina, the founders of littleCHEW, became mothers, they discovered that their babies wanted to taste everything within reach. Their solution was creating teethers that combine safety with thoughtful design. The Autumn Teether and Heart-Shaped Rattle & Teether are crafted from food-grade silicone and beechwood treated with coconut oil, making them safe for curious mouths and small hands.
Oli & Carol took an equally intentional approach with their rattles. Working with certified otorhinolaryngologists, they designed their Cauliflower and Lemon Baby Rattles to create a sound pitch that helps calm babies rather than overstimulate them. The gentle rattling comes from upcycled cherry seeds, and the toys are handmade from natural rubber without holes where mold or bacteria could hide.
The Carrots Baby Lovey & Teether eliminates the need to choose between a comfort item and a teether. The soft muslin component is removable for easy washing, while the natural rubber teething part provides relief for sore gums.
Serenity Kids was founded by a mother determined to break the cycle of processed foods in her family. She continues to partner with farmers who practice regenerative agriculture, treating both the land and animals with respect while creating more nutritious products.
Their Sweet Potato & Spinach Baby Food contains zero added sugars, allowing babies to develop a taste for vegetables without sweet additives masking the natural flavors. The Free Range Chicken with Peas and Carrots provides protein and healthy fats from humanely raised animals, while the Coconut Curry Chicken with Vegetables introduces little ones to gentle spices and herbs.
For snacking, the White Cheddar Baby Puffs prove that nutritious options don't have to sacrifice flavor. Made with real cheese and organic vegetables like cauliflower and spinach, they contain zero grams of sugar while delivering satisfying crunch and taste.
Once Upon a Farm brings a unique take to baby foods through its cold-pressed approach. Their Avocado Baby Food blend combines creamy avocado with pineapple, banana, and mint for a fresh flavor that appeals to both babies and parents. The Strawberry, Pumpkin & Beet Tractor Wheels are designed for little hands learning to self-feed, while the Strawberry, Coconut & Sweet Potato Puffs use organic sorghum instead of the more common rice or corn.
Babo Botanicals was founded by Kate Solomon, whose childhood on a beekeeping farm and background in sustainable agriculture informed her approach to natural skincare. Their Sensitive Baby Shampoo & Body Wash and Sensitive Hydrating Baby Lotion hold an EWG verification and are fragrance-free, providing transparency about ingredient safety for delicate skin.
The Calming Lavender Bubble Bath & Wash incorporates real lavender and chamomile to support bedtime routines, while the Sensitive Baby All Natural Healing Ointment offers steroid-free relief for eczema and irritated skin using primarily organic ingredients.
Alaffia brings a perspective rooted in West African traditions and fair trade practices to their products. Their Coconut Strawberry Detangling collection includes shampoo, conditioner, and spray that work together to make hair care more manageable. The formulations use coconut, shea, and aloe to keep hair soft and reduce tangles.
We are excited to offer these new products (and more) in our expanded baby and toddler category! Whether it's toys designed to calm rather than overstimulate, food that builds healthy eating habits from the start, or personal care that treats sensitive skin with appropriate gentleness.
