Looking for the perfect baby shower gift? We’ve curated a collection of our best eco-friendly & organic baby gift ideas. Give your new little bundle of joy something unique, safe and eco-friendly. 

Every new mom wants the best for their baby. We spend months researching the best products, baby-proofing small spaces and making our home as safe as possible for this new bundle of joy. However, most moms don’t realize that all baby clothes are not organic. In fact, most children’s clothing is not organic, which means it can be made out of cotton that has been treated with harmful chemicals that can’t always be washed away. This can be particularly scary since clothing is in constant contact with a baby's delicate and sensitive skin.

Choosing items made of organic cotton and non-toxic dyes can ensure that your baby’s skin is safe from harmful chemical, thus making organic baby products the safest and most natural choice for a healthy baby.

All of the the cotton at Under the Nile is grown on a biodynamic farm without the use of pesticides or insecticides. We do not use any chemical finishes on our fabrics, only natural starches, whitening our fabric using an oxygen-based whitening process and using metal free color dyes, containing no harmful chemicals like AZO agents. Under the Nile is also one of a handful of companies that not only make, but stuff their toys with certified organic cotton. We do all of this to ensure that every one of our products is safe for your baby and good for the world.

Here, we have curated a collection of our 5 most popular organic & eco-friendly gifts for new babies.
