If you're wanting to stick to an eco-friendly way of a raising a baby, these eco-friendly baby clothing tips should help you go more green in the closet.
Staying Eco-Friendly While Raising a Baby
There are many different ways you can stick to your eco-friendly lifestyle even after having a baby. You can use things like reusable wipes, eco-friendly bottles if bottle feeding, and stick to cloth diapering for example as ways to go green with a baby.
Sticking to an eco-friendly lifestyle while raising a baby doesn't have to be as hard as it seems.
Today I am going to be sharing some eco-friendly baby clothing tips so that you can keep up with your green lifestyle while also building up your babies wardrobe with some cute baby clothing!
Let's dive into my eco-friendly baby clothing tips.
Eco-Friendly Baby Clothing Tips
Shop Local
Shopping local is a great eco-friendly clothing option for your baby! Shopping local leads to less needed transportation, less habitat loss, and less pollution. Some great ways to shop local would be to check out your local farmers markets!

Choose Small Shop Over Big Box Stores
Everyone knows that shopping small is a great choice because you're supporting a person just like you instead of a big corporation, but it is also a great choice for the environment for reasons listed above when it comes to shopping more local. Etsy is a great choice when it comes to shopping small but there are tons of different small clothing shops for babies out there (you're checking out our shop right now!).
Stick With Organic Cotton Options
Not only is organic cotton safer for your babies skin, but it is a great choice when it comes to environmental impact.
You see, organic cotton farming is much more sustainable and uses less energy and water than traditional cotton farming.

Choose Clothing That You Can Pass On to Future Kids
Another great one of my eco-friendly baby clothing tips is to shop with the intent of passing on. Gender neutral styles are a great idea when it comes to being eco-conscious baby clothing wise. This way not only does the clothing look adorable now, but it will look equally adorable on any future kids/kids you can pass them on to.

Buy Multi-Function Clothing
My last eco-friendly baby clothing tip; buy clothing that has a variety of uses.
Sure, the extravagant dress will look adorable for pictures, but dresses that can fit more than one occasion would be a much more eco-conscious decision.
A great option when it comes to this is building a capsule wardrobe for your baby.
