Who: Lala’s Pequenos; Jeffersonton, VA

What: Organic Newborn Noonie

Where: Lala’s Pequenos at Etsy; $62, enter “Urban Sherp Baby” in the ‘message to seller’ box for free shipping on any organic Noonie

Why: Honestly, what could be cuter than a little babe tucked snug as a bug into this cozy Noonie? Like a little pea in a pod…..

The Noonie is perfect for bundling up baby for post-bath cuddles and, for those of us who simply cannot figure out the ‘baby burrito,’ the cone-shaped Noonie makes swaddling a breeze.

Perhaps the best part about the Noonie are the fabrics used. Designer Alessandra Guitierez, has a great eye for quality and design and finds cool, fun and modern fabrics that you just don’t see enough of in the baby department. Better yet, they are  made of 100% organic fair trade cotton lined with super soft super luxe 100% organic sherpa with buttons made from reclaimed wood.

Where: Generate – $49, multiple styles available

Why: A fun alternative to the classic preppy pink and green baby wear with the pink seahorse spanning baby’s belly – just imagine the elevated cuteness factor with a little one tucked in. The kimono style neckline makes changing baby a cinch.  The animal prints are hand silk screened on 100% organic cotton using water based inks. Another of our favorites – the penguin….

Who: Speesees; San Francisco, CA

What: Onesies & Bibs

Why: With five nieces, I am constantly in search of fun kids clothes that are neither pink (although am currently losing out to their “everything must be pink phase”……), nor covered in Laura Ashley florals, nor emblazoned with princess appliqués, oh, and are not laced with chemicals. Thankfully there is Speesees!!

Speesees (“species” in baby talk-even the name is cute!) is a remarkable company both in design and eco-mindedness. They specialize in comfy cotton stylings in splashy color combinations with hip funky plant and animal prints. Perfect for the fashion forward tot! I mean, honestly, what could be cuter than a tyke toddling around in a seal pup onesie? Well, maybe, the picture of Obama hugging that adorable little boy…… Click to continue »
