When you have a baby, everyone wants to buy you gifts. It's a wonderful time of giving. Your dearest friends and family will all ask you, what do you want? When you have a passion for only getting the best and purest for your baby, our advice is don't buy shy! This is one of the first lessons of parenting, be clear and consistent to all your family and friends about how you want to parent your child.

 

If you are clear that you only want organic clothing, organic food, wooden toys and more natural baby products, then tell everyone – " I only want to use Natural Baby Products" – "I want to dress my newborn in organic clothing only for the first year" or whichever phrase, in your own words, expresses your need and desire for natural baby products for your family. The reason we stress this is that people love to give, and they actually want to give you exactly what you want. There is no use having your Aunty knit you a lovely polyester or acrylic blanket if you know you will never use it. That Aunty wants to do something special and personal for you so ask for Organic Wool so she can proudly enjoy seeing you use it all the time. She may think you are a little picky at first but she will be proudly telling everyone else about her niece who only wants natural baby products.

 

I meet many customers who are disappointed with an array of useless gifts such as personal care from a supermarket, acrylic knits from relatives, plastic toys and polyester sheets. Every time I ask them, why didn't you let everyone know what you wanted? They answer because they were shy. In this situation, the givers end up more disappointed than if you were "fussy" in the first place. The joy of someone seeing an outfit or a toy used that you love, will amaze you. It is really important to friends and family around you that they give you what you need and what makes you happy. So are you practicing yet … "we only want natural baby products".

 

Tell them all you want organic and natural – and that is what you will get! They might think you are a bit funny at first, but they will get used to this and enjoy looking for special unique items for many years to come.
