If you’re planning to bedshare don’t waste your money on a crib mattress, and instead consider upgrading your family bed. When our son was born, we had a relatively new traditional coil mattress, but quickly changed to latex. It felt like a big investment but getting an organic mattress that isn’t loaded with fire retardants (like regular mattresses), that is naturally dust mite free and gave our family a better night’s sleep was a no brainer.

Loved our Cocooi! It’s 100% natural allergy-safe New Zealand merino wool. Naturally regulates your baby’s temperature by absorbing and releasing moisture to warm or cool your baby’s body safely in any climate.

Floor beds are popular in Montessori and can be a great option for naps for younger children and for older children to transition to their own bed. Sprout is a wonderful, family run, ethical company and their kids floor bed gets rave reviews. Available in twin, crib and full size.   

Snuggle Me Organic weren’t around when my son was a baby but if they were, I would have had an infant and toddler lounger for sure. These loungers are organic, sustainable and ethically made. They’re not a replacement for a crib or bassinet, nor are they for overnight use. So, how do you use them? As a comforting, supervised lounging pad, a play space, for tummy time, sitting support and traveling.  

My son has worn Silkberry Pajamas since he was a baby. I have a crisis at the moment as they only go up to size five and he is about to outgrow them! Silkberry are a Canadian eco-friendly brand that use bamboo rayon and organic cotton in their clothing. We are yet to come across softer clothing. My son is highly sensitive and he loves these pj’s! Worldwide shipping.  

A perfect little night light to use for the middle of the night feedings if you need a little light. Using an anti-blue LED light so that it won’t fully wake you or your baby. Also has a timer in case you fall back to sleep with the light on.   

If you want to have your baby within arm’s reach but not in your bed, this is a great option! Having said that...most mamas in the Raised Good community have said that they end up using their cosleeper as storage.
