kai's organic nest

Since Kai will be spending most of his time in his crib, I wanted to make it as organic, and chemical-free as possible.
Sooo i opted out of buying dwell studio's automobile crib set. Though i really wanted it badly b/c it was such an eye-candy, i just couldn't get myself to buy something that wasn't organic. Although it's coloured w/ low impact dyes, the deal breaker for me was the bumper is filled w/ poly-cotton. Plus, I learned soon after (via Health Canada) that the crib bumper isn't recommended for safety purposes anyways. But for those parents who don't mind, i would recommend dwell studio for modern, stylish, baby products. Dwell also has an organic line.


Anyways, I instead got only the basics:
Mattress - organic cotton cover quilted w/ pure wool, natural rubber core (Sleeptek - Made in Canada)
Moisture pad - certified pure wool
(Sleeptek - Made in Canada)
Fitted crib sheet - Coyuchi's organic cotton percale

I will breathe easy (and so will he) knowing that he isn't surrounded w/ toxic chemicals.
