Diaper changes can get messy for even the most seasoned caregivers which is why these reusable changing pads are a must-have. They are ultra absorbent and durable, and you’ll be happy you have them on hand so you don’t find yourself constantly washing your changing pad/pad cover. They can also be easily stored in diaper bag compartments for changes on the go!



This one's for babies and toddlers on the move. From crawling on dirty floors to playing with slobbered on toys, Handzies are top shelf when it comes to keeping baby’s hands germ free. Derived of mainly water and natural castile soap, these hypoallergenic wipes effectively clean little hands without any of the potentially harmful ingredients found in other sanitizing products. Even if a hand sanitizer is alcohol free and marketed as safe for babies, you still need to read the ingredients. According to Mayo Clinic, “Children should avoid alcohol-free hand sanitizer due to U.S. Food and Drug Administration safety and effectiveness concerns about resistant organisms with the antibacterial agent benzalkonium chloride and possible toxic degradation of products with triclosan.” These two ingredients are found in many products that are deemed organic and safe for babies. All of the experts seem to agree that washing your hands with soap is best, so Handzies take 1st place in this category while providing all the same convenience as their competition.


We all know babies love to throw things, especially their pacifiers. Paci, binky, nookie, tissy - whatever you call it, chances are you’ve had to pick it off the ground of parking lots, playgrounds, underneath restaurant tables…you name it. Not a big deal when you’re somewhere you’re able to wash or sterilize but when you’re out and about these Dapple Wipes are a saving grace. They are specifically marketed as breast pump wipes for their ability to cut down on stubborn milk residue, but they work just as well on grimy pacifiers, toys, and bottles when you’re in a pinch. There are several other brands out there claiming similar results but Dapple Baby is clearly the premier choice with its plant based, fragrance free, hypoallergenic formulation. It is also a top purity award recipient of the Clean Label Project which is no easy feat.


If you’re going to dress your child in white, you can’t do it without Puracy in reach. This shockingly powerful stain remover is 99.96% plant based and can miraculously remove both new and old stains. Blowouts, spit up, grass and oil stains, smeared food - Puracy cleans it all and with natural and safe ingredients. It’s no secret that commercial laundry detergents and cleaners contain harmful chemicals such as 1,4-Dioxane. Exposure to this contaminant can cause eye and nose irritation, and according to the CDC’s Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, 1,4-Dioxane is likely to be carcinogenic to humans. Fragrance is another ingredient found in most household cleaners that has many hidden dangers, especially for children and pregnant women. According to the experts at Women's Voices For The Earth, “Exposure to even small levels of toxic fragrance chemicals during pregnancy may pose lifelong health impacts on our children.” Fortunately Puracy is completely fragrance and toxin free so there is no need to worry. It is truly the only stain remover you will ever need.


Once baby starts solids, this microfiber mop will become your new best friend. There’s no way around it, babies are really messy eaters…But if you have the right tools to clean up thrown food and sticky floors, it makes meal time a whole lot more fun! This mop comes with a flexible 180 degree rotating head and reusable microfiber pads that work to remove 99% of bacteria with just water. For an extra polished floor you can also add a small amount of cleaning solution into the mop’s reservoir such as Dr. Bronner’s Sal Suds Biodegradable Cleaner. This is a really good versatile cleaner for your home that contains safe and mild ingredients so you don’t have to worry about baby crawling on the ground after washing.
