Halo SleepSack Swaddle, $23; walmart.com

It’s important for your baby to sleep soundly so you will too. Loose bedding can be a safety hazard for infants, but sleep sacks (or wearable blankets) are a safe way to keep your baby cozy through the night—and that’s why they’re a registry must-have on our list. This option from Halo is great because it’s made from 100 percent organic cotton and comes in 16 adorable prints and colors, plus you can get it in two sizes based on your baby’s weight. The best part? It’s available at Walmart and can easily be added to its newly personalized baby registry program. By starting a registry at the beloved mega-retailer, you will receive a welcome box, a personalized list of items to register for, and access to hundreds of other all-natural and organic baby products, including Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard’s line, Hello Bello.

Boba 4G Organic Baby Carrier, shown in Verde, $160; boba.com

We love the wear-it-in-front-or-wear-it-in-back flexibility of soft-structured baby carriers, and this pretty organic cotton model is made to grow with your baby: The integrated infant insert makes it work for babies as little as 7 pounds, and it can carry your kiddo through toddlerhood. (The weight limit is 45 pounds—more than you may want to tote around!) A removable sleeping hood and foot straps help keep your little one comfy, while the shoulder straps include purse holders so you won't have to fuss with a bag constantly slipping down your arm. Genius!

Happy! Baby Wrap, shown in polka dot, $55; happybabywrap.com

There's a lot for baby-wrapping eco-mamas to love about the Happy Wrap. Designed to keep your baby close until she's 25 pounds, Happy wraps are made of super-soft organic bamboo fabric that's lightweight, breathable, absorbent, and naturally hypoallergenic and antibacterial. They're available in 8 fun colors (with non-toxic dyes, natch) and patterns, so you don't have to sacrifice style. (Who says organic baby products have to look boring?!) And did we mention they're made in the USA?

bumGenius Freetime All-In-One One-Size Cloth Diapers, shown in Albert/Sassy, $40 for set of two; target.com

Proving that cloth diapering is easier (and cuter!) than ever: These all-in-one, one-size diapers, which boast a closure system that makes for a trimmer fit than traditional cloth diapers. Making them extra eco- and wallet-friendly is the fact that you don't need to keep buying bigger sizes, as the snaps let you easily adjust the size from 8 to 35 pounds. And unlike cloth diapers of the past, you don't need a cover.

Bumbleride Indie 4 Stroller, $549; bumbleride.com

Let's face it: A stroller isn't the most eco-friendly baby product you'll buy. But the Bumbleride Indie 4 boasts "green" elements that you can feel good about for baby, including exterior fabric that's made from 50 percent recycled PET (about 14 recycled water bottles go into each Indie's fabric!) and interior fabric made from 50 percent bamboo charcoal fiber, which naturally prohibits bacterial growth (a good thing on your stroller seat, for sure!). An optional rain shield is PVC-free. Plus, the Indie 4 is car seat-compatible and holds a child up to 55 pounds, meaning this just might be the only stroller you need.

Babyletto Gelato 4-in-1 Convertible Crib with Toddler Conversion Kit, $299; babyletto.com

Hello, good nights! This mid-century modern-inspired convertible crib is an eco-chic piece of furniture that transforms into a toddler bed, daybed, and full-size bed. It's made from sustainable New Zealand pine wood and available in two natural-washed finishes—and no worries if (or when!) your baby gnaws the crib rail: both finishes are non-toxic and free of phthalates, lead, 360 VOCs, and over 10,000 chemicals.

Naturepedic No-Compromise Organic Cotton Classic Mattress, $279; naturepedic.com

You'd have a tough time finding a greener crib mattress than this. It's filled with U.S.-grown certified organic cotton. The outer fabric is organic cotton as well, with a polyethylene surface, for a non-toxic and stain-resistant waterproof mattress that technically meets food contact standards! That barrier also thwarts bed bugs and dust mites. Sweet dreams, baby!

Pottery Barn Kids Modern Tufted Wingback Rocker, $1,299; potterybarnkids.com

There's more to love about this comfy glider than the way it looks. It's made in the United States from hardwood that's been certified by the Sustainable Forestry Initiative. And while it was designed specifically with nursing mamas in mind, from the extra-supportive headrest to the extra shoulder and elbow room, it will look beautiful in any room of your home long after your nursing days are done.

Vulli Chan Pie Gnon Natural Teether, $14; amazon.com

This teether is completely non-toxic—BPA-, phthalate-, and PVC-free—and made with food-grade paint. That's a good thing, too, since your teething babe will gnaw on it all the time. The softness and mushroom shape makes it easy for babies to grab, it squeaks when its belly is squeezed (so cute!), and nubs on his head soothe sore gums.
