Diapers and Other Baby Items

I'll be the first to admit that I don't know much about babies. Everything I've learned has been from watching my nephew, who just turned two years old in July, and talking to my sister. One thing I've noticed is that parents all have very different preferences when it comes to things like diapers. There are so many different options just in disposal diapers, including compostable ones, chlorine-free ones, and diaper “systems” that have reusable and disposable components. Add in all the different brand names, and I wouldn't even know where to start figuring out what to stock. However, I can special order a wide variety of diapers by the case. Most cases of diapers are only 4 packages, so there's a good chance you'll use them up before the baby outgrows them, and they won't require huge amounts of storage space.

If you are interested in buying diapers, just give us a call or email for a price quote. Here are some of the brands we can order through our suppliers: Nature Babycare Eco-Diapers (diapers sizes 1-6 and training pants sizes 4-6), Seventh Generation (sizes 1-6), Broody Chick Chlorine-free Compostable (newborn, infant, toddler, and junior), Earth's Best Tendercare Chlorine-Free Disposable (sizes 1-5), Mama Zone Eco-Responsible Compostable (stages 1-4), and the GDiaper System (reusable gPants in small, medium, and large, plus gCloth inserts and flushable refills in small and medium/large).

We can also special order baby wipes, including biodegradable ones, compostable ones, unscented ones, and ones made of organic cotton, but they often come in cases of 12 or more units in a case. If you would be interested in buying less than a full case, please let us know and if there's enough interest, we can bring wipes into regular stock.

We do have a few baby-orientated things already in stock. The most obvious items are in the Baby Foods section of our website and include jarred baby food, arrowroot cookies, and Stonyfield's YoBaby Yogurt. We also carry an unsweetened, full-fat yogurt that's very popular with babies: Greek Gods Traditional Plain Yogurt. My nephew loves that stuff plain or with some fruit stirred in.

If there's an organic food item or an eco-friendly household product you would like to be able to buy from us, please give us a call at 604-708-2345 or email info@greenearthorganics.com. We will try to bring it into stock or try to special order it for you.

Happy organic living and eating!
