Now that you mention it, there are quite a few local brands that create organic and sustainable pregnancy essentials. Most of them operate online, surprisingly. Some use natural materials like bamboo and coconut fibers, which are kind on the skin and gentle on the environment.
One such find is this locally crafted organic prenatal pillow, specially shaped to comfort expectant moms. It's filled with buckwheat hulls and scented with lavender for a relaxing aroma. They also have a line of natural maternity and newborn products that smell heavenly - think coconut oil-based creams and balms in heavenly scents like 'Wildflower' and 'Orange Bliss.'
Another local find is this adorable organic cotton clothing line for newborns, crafted without harmful dyes. The collection's filled with adorable prints and colors, perfect for adorable baby photos. These outfits make a practical newborn gift and are oh-so-gentle on the baby's skin!
I think these sustainable and natural options are such a lovely way to celebrate the journey while being kind to the environment -- an added bonus for eco-conscious moms! There's a growing market for these ethical products, so I'm sure there'd be more popping up soon.
