There are an overwhelming amount of buying decisions every new mom has to make, from choosing healthy snacks and baby-friendly cleaning products to bath time and bedtime treats. But not all are created equal. Founder of momtrends.com, Nicole Feliciano, partnered with the non-profit Healthy Child Healthy World to sift through the latest products and figure out the most essential goods for mom and baby.

Use Chemical-Free Cleaning Products

Did you know the average level of indoor air pollutants is actually 5-70 times higher than outdoor pollutants?! That's why it's crucial to reduce the use of harmful chemicals in your home and choose a green cleaning product. "Cleaning products may slip our minds, but it's important to think about the floor your baby is crawling on," says Nicole. Her baby-friendly choice: Earth Friendly Products, which has over 150 products ranging from the #1 selling all natural laundry detergent to dishwashing liquids and a new baby bath line with Disney. "It 's all about taking chemicals out and putting plant based ingredients inside," says Nicole. This way, you don't have to worry about chemicals when washing those pacifiers, bottles and baby clothes.


Choose All Natural Skincare

When it comes to putting something on your baby's skin, stick with natural baby products that are simple and clean. Her pick: Burt's Bees. "They've been around for 30 years and their Baby Bee collection (for the pint sized customer) has everything from shampoos and body wash to wipes and diaper ointments," says Nicole. All products contain 100% natural fragrances, are pediatrician-tested and free of sulfates, parabens, and petrochemicals. Priced between $4.99 and $9.99 you can affordably help protect baby's delicate skin.

Start Healthy Snacking Habits

As for snack time, keep things nutritious and convenient. Happy Family, a leading organic baby food that works with pediatricians and nutritionists to develop yummy and healthy recipes, came out with new Greek yogurt style pouches for babies and tots. "They're packed with essential vitamins, minerals, and probiotics, so little ones get even more from each bite, and parents are happier about their everyday food choices," says Nicole. Bonus: These tasty snacks don't have to be refrigerated, so they're great for on the go!

Safe and Sound Sleep

Babies and toddlers spend 10-14 hours a day sleeping and playing on their crib mattress, which makes the mattress one of the single most important items in their environment. "Look for an organic mattress like Naturepedic. They only use organic, natural and non-toxic materials in their bedding and don't use harmful chemicals frequently found in polyurethane foam including toxic flame-retardants and glues," says Nicole. Each mattress provides proper support for your baby ad is also free of vinyl, latex, wool and other common allergenic materials.
