Surround the baby with things that are tactile in nature and made of natural elements. A sheepskin rug (naturally tanned), a mobile made of driftwood pieces painted with bold stripes, with strings of driftwood beads.
Polished stones on the floor, big enough to move around, too big to stick in mouth.
A sand table with sand, clay, stones, beans, lentils, etc. for when they are old enough.
Make a trip to the coast this winter to collect driftwood and stones and sand and shells.
Clothes: cotton, silk, leather, or wool. No plastic derivatives. This will be hard.
Is it ungrateful to not use so much of the stuff that has been given to us?
Is it smart to spend the money on new "natural" products?
Anything the baby will spend a lot of time on/in: yes. Clothes and anything it will be on without clothes, like a bed, in a chair.
Wooden baby chair. Cotton liners for bouncy chair. Etc.
Non-plastic pack and play: Arm’s Reach Original Co-Sleeper
