Organic Bathing for your Baby

Your new little bundle of joy is home from the hospital and you're wondering, well my baby doesn't get dirty yet...Should I give baby a bath everyday? That question is up to you, if your new baby is uncomfortable with being washed everyday, try a sponge bath. Start by using a soft sponge and washing your babies face with cooled water, and never use any kind of soap near your babies eyes. Try an organic shampoo and body wash such as Sumboshine. Head and shoulders knees and toes, be sure to wash all around for baby. Be sure to wash under their folds of skin, behind their ears, and especially underneath their neck since formula or milk can drip under the chin.

Your child's nose and ears are self cleaning so if you see a bit of wax or mucus gently take it away from your baby areas. Remove your babies diaper and gently clean the bottom while removing any soil. You can apply an organic baby ointment  to help prevent rashes from diapers. Look for ointments that have vitamin E and Chamomile for soft skin.

When your baby is bigger, we recommend using a Tummy Tub. Tummy Tubs are gaining popularity in the United States, the tummy tub helps to ensure that your child is in the fetal position with warm water just like in the womb. Never leave your child unattended in water, not even for a second. In the first few weeks after birth while using the Tummy Tub you will want to ensure that your child has enough water to the lower shoulders in the Tummy Tub, you will need to support your child while they are in the tub and help hold their neck up for them. Use luke warm water to bathe your baby.


To keep your baby's hair soft and smooth, use naturally pure baby oil for your child's scalp and lightly on the body for smooth skin. The oil will help with flakes in your child's hair and will help with 'craddle cap.' When drying your baby try an organic towel such as Cotton Monkey for drying. An organic towel will help prevent exposure to harsh chemicals and help to prevent rashes and breakouts compared to using a non organic towel to dry your baby.

A baby's nails grow fast and so many times babies reach for their faces and scratch themselves easily. Continually cut your babies nails short to keep from scratching. Be careful when cutting the babies nails and use very dull nail scissors or baby clippers with rounded edges. Don't cut too close to the babies skin...
Now onto dressing your little one for the day. Our organic children's clothing will have you drooling over all the options to dress for the day.

Nursery Tips for putting together your child's Nursery

Are you a new Mommy or perhaps a Mommy to be and are perplexed by what furniture to put in your new baby's nursery? Maybe you are a grandparent trying to help your children find the perfect decorations for the nursery...We have some ideas to help you out with designing the modern nursery room for the newest addition to the family.

At Vanny Bean Organics we carry many different organic nursery furniture options to fit your needs. Start by looking for your larger items and decide what is important to you. There are many choices and options when it comes to nursery furniture. Knowing the difference between non-toxic organic furniture pieces and regular nursery furniture can help you make the decisions that are right for you.


We suggest looking for a bassinet/crib first. During the first few weeks bringing your newborn home from the hospital is a hard transition and a bassinet maybe a better fit for your little one so that it can be transportable and easy to use. Vanny Bean recommends the Argington BAM Bassinet for all your crib, bassinet, and bedding needs. The Argington brand is fused with a love affair of Eco friendly green, art, and architecture. Each furniture piece is taken into careful consideration to provide an all natural green furniture piece to enjoy for generations to come.

The BAM Collection can be converted into a bassinet, crib, and toddler bed all for one low price considering the hip 3 in 1 combo and comes in 3 different colors. Another crib that we are found of is the Arial crib by Nursery Works which provides a crib and toddler bed conversion when the conversion kit is purchased. The sleek modern lines will have you falling in love with patterns all over again.

Pamper yourself with a plush rocking chair and Ottoman its an added perk that is so worth it! You will cherished story times, napping, and one on one time. Look for chairs that are covered with organic or natural fibers such as Nursery Works rockers, if you have a wooden rocker our modern perches will be a great addition to your collection.

For some new parents a nursery changer is a must. I survived without one, but wished that I had one during the first year. At Vanny Bean we have a variety of diaper changers to choose from. Some of our top favorites including the Sahara by Argington, Moderne changer by Netto Collection. Vanny Bean has the top of the line diaper changers for every need.

Finding for a modern dresser can be hard to do but Vanny Bean has many options to choose from for organic Eco friendly nursery furniture. You'll love our BAM wardrobe for dressers, it is the ultimate in organization for your baby. Our Sahara dresser is an inexpensive alternative to the BAM wardrobe and provides lots of storage for your little one.

Looking for the essentials is key to stocking your nursery. You will need diapers we highly recommend gbaby diapers they are Eco friendly and flush able, how cool is that! You will also need a hip diaper bag to stock all those diapers, bottles, ointments, re usable nursing pads, check out our unique diaper bags by Rock Love Peace designed to meet your diaper bag needs.

If you live in an apartment or don't want to paint designs onto your walls these removable wall decals add a safe alternative to toxic paints for your nursery room.

We hope that this gives you direction and ideas on where to take your nursery. Remember, you are the inventor and can take the designs to their wildest imaginations with core key nursery pieces.

Should you wash your childrens clothing when purchased?

Imagine your new baby that comes home from the hospital, how sweet, precious and such innocense. So the question comes about in the 'nesting period' of should you wash baby and children's clothes before wearing them?

Many people go back and forth debating about wether children's clothes should be washed before wear. With an experienced career in apparel production and working for a childrens apparel company, I can say that washing your child's clothing is a must. Many children's products are not washed in the factories which means in the cut, make and sew process hundreds of people are touching the garments as the apparel industry is highly labor intensive. During the process, the fabric is normally bathed but not necessarily washed in the end process.

So the question becomes again Should You Wash Your Babies Clothing before wearing? In our opinion and expertise, yes...There are many toxic chemicals found in your 'norm' baby clothes unless you look for organic clothing. The harsh chemicals can lead to allergies and rashes on your new babies skin.

Vanny Bean Baby Organics works to provide you with organic baby clothing that is hip, trendy, and stylish for your newborn baby. With brands like Sama Baby, Rattle Me, and Modern Me, we have a wide variety of organic childrens clothing to choose from.

As Always, As Friends,
