    I'm a huge fan of babyganics. They have a stain remover that you can spray on infant clothes and it is the only organic stain remover that I tried that really works.

    Whole foods has loads of stuff! You might be able to go into the store and look at brands then find them online and put them on your registry :)

    Burt's bees is owned by the Chlorox company is is full of hidden toxic chemicals. My vote goes to Ava Anderson for the best non-toxic/organic ingredients on the market....hands down.

    I recently discovered the Bump has a forum called "Eco-Friendly Family." You may wish to check out that board, too, if you haven't already. I've only just started exploring there, but so far so good.

    @MrsRitaMac I didn't know that about Burt's Bees. Eek!

    We are fans of Dr. Bronner's in my house and will probably use the baby soap.

    I like Shea Moisture baby products but I admit I haven't researched the company. For lotion (and makeup for me) I use Alba Botanica in an effort to be paraben free. Right now I am using the Honest nipple balm for early nursing and love it. Wish I had that first time around. We also love the honest healing balm for diaper rash, drool rash, and any cuts and scraps. I am luke-warm about their other products. Thinkbaby or thinksport is our go to sunscreen for our older son. Its nice to see more of these options around.

    What about Burt's Bees organic clothing? Grandma is constantly bargain shopping that at TJMax, she's like a junky that needs a cheap organic baby clothes fix.

    Make sure you read the ingredients to ensure the products are truly non-toxic. Many times you're paying a premium in stores for brands that aren't as clean as they could be. Several of the brands listed above tend to be a little misleading with labels. With that said, this is a third vote for Ava Anderson.

    I like Babyganics and Honest Co. products, but neither are organic and I will not use every item put out by either. Burt's Bees is not sufficiently "clean" for my personal preference - they use a lot of petroleum byproducts and certain chemicals that I am not cool with. Certain Shea Moisture baby items are great.

    Basically, your best bet for finding products you will be satisfied with is to familiarize yourself with ingredients and read the labels of everything before you buy (I also like to research brands online before I even go to the store to get a sense of customer satisfaction, company integrity, and product performance). If you come across an ingredient you aren't familiar with, look it up - where does it come from, what does it do, why is it being used? And remember that some can sound scary but be totally fine/completely natural.

    Some items you may want to bypass completely in favor of homemade options. For instance, I don't buy lotion at all and instead use oils, butters, and simple blends that I can toss together in five minutes or less, this way I know exactly what my family are putting on our skin. I also wash my face with raw honey and sea salt, use a sea sponge rather than feminine products for my period (will not be doing this postpartum, don't worry ;) ), use a deodorant made of nothing but water and various salts, and brush my teeth with baking soda. These are little changes that take some initial adjustment but are really rewarding if you like to live simply :)
