Here is an innovative and great looking alternative to a baby swing to sooth your little precious to deep, happy sleep. And the benefits go beyond just the glorious snoozing, the contours of the sleeping pad reduces the risk of flat head syndrome in infants, the varied sleep position options help colic or acid reflux, the back-to-sleep position prevent SIDS and the soft swaying motion is very comforting for restless sleepers (we all know how awesome napping is on a hammock!). The really cool looking Hushamock is also very lightweight and portable so you can transport this to whichever room you're in, or even take it on the road with you (it comes with a travel bag). The hammock is 100% organic cotton, the mattress is hypoallergenic and machine-washable and it come with two 400 count fitted sheets! Comes in blue green natural orange and pink, $379.99 at Magic Beans.

I try to buy organic food when possible, and it only makes sense to buy as many organic household products, as I can, as well. It’s really nice that so many companies are coming out with organic offerings. The more we can limit chemical exposure for ourselves and our kids, the better! Pixel Organics’ organic natural rubber crib mattress is made by hand in Los Angeles. It features a very soft organic cotton cover and a quilted layer made with organic wool to provide natural cooling and moisture wicking. This is a great feature for infants that can easily get hot when sleeping because this has been linked to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).

The rubber core is made of firm Sri Lankan rubber. And we all know a firm mattress is another crucial factor to help prevent SIDS. There are no chemicals present in the mattress, and no chemicals used in the manufacturing. In addition, the rubber is known for its hypoallergenic qualities, and is resistant to molds, mildews and dust mites, which would be very beneficial for a child with allergies. At Mason Matisse for $460.

Organic food trends started a few years ago and now more mommies want everything organic for their sweetie pies. In the age when everyone is “going green”, what does this new organic craze really mean? Now, manufacturers produce a ton of organic items from clothes to bubble bath just so your baby can get the purest. Organic cotton, similar to organic fruits and veggies, is grown without the use of insecticides or pesticides. However, the benefit is two-fold: not only does your baby have the purest fibers touching his or her skin, but the production of organic cotton causes no pollution that harms the environment. Organic bath products use ingredients grown without fertilizers or pesticides. Read about a few of Tot Snob’s favorite organic products:

California Baby

California Baby Bath Tote - $20

Not only is it organic but it is fantastic for babies with sensitive skin. The line contains no nut oils, gluten, soy, oat and dairy and no sulfates, DEA, colors, dyes, synthetic fragrances or numbing agents. So, what does it contain? The developer, a vegetarian, uses ingredients from plants and flowers. Only two animal products are used lanolin made from sheep’s wool and beeswax. Great for babies with sensitive skin or skin irritations such as eczema. Still not sold? Try the bath tote (above). I promise you will be back to buy the full-size soon. Shop the BabyCenter Earth-Friendly Boutique.

Swaddle Designs Blanket

Swaddle Designs Organics - $25

Swaddle Designs, already featured as a Tot Snob favorite for its large size and soft cotton flannel, just got better with their organic line of blankets. The blankets are just as soft and just as big, but only better because they are organic. Shop the BabyCenter Earth-Friendly Boutique.

Crib Bedding

Amenity Woods Organic Collection - $355

If you are up for the 70s earth tones, Amenity makes two retro inspired animal themed nursery bedding. The designs, Meadow and Woods, allow your little one to experience nature through organic comfort. Not only is it made from organic cotton, the company uses only vegetable dyes for color. The crib package ($355) has great canvas pieces, decorative pillows, and other accesories to complete the look. Available at Amenity.

Eyes of the World (sheet, skirt, & bumper - $536)

Cotton Monkey adds modern flair to eco-friendly style. They offer five sets of crib bedding ranging from pure, innocent White-on-White set to the brightly themed Eyes of the World collection (above). The fabric and batting are made from certified organic cotton. The color and prints are created from non-toxic, water based dyes. Available at Cotton Monkey.

Garden Blossom - $340

A few months ago, I received a dwell burp set as a gift for the birth of my son. It quickly became one of my favorites. The set contains two bibs and on burp cloth. All items are soft, patterned cotton on one side and terry velour on the other. Not only do they serve their purpose, but they a beautiful to look at. The simplistic mod fabrics are great. Because of its beauty, I am not embarrassed to use it in public. Loving my newest baby accessories, I went online to order more.

I discovered that dwell makes crib bedding and in January they launched a kid’s line too. So once those babies transfer to big beds, you can still keep a simple modern theme for you and the fun patterns your kids will enjoy. Updated Cowboy and Cowgirl patterns in soft colors that don’t scream Western Rodeo are perfect for a grown up kid. For the babies, I adore the garden blossom and motif crib sets.

Now, I gift dwell to everyone. Beyond bedding and burp sets, they make hooded bath towels, stroller blankets, toys, and stuffed animals. The 100% cotton fabrics are not certified organic, but they are free of formaldehyde and other agents and dyes. Available at
