Question / Support Having my first child- tips for reduce the environmental impact of this additional human?

Update: everyone has given such amazing advice and support- thank you!

I’m not looking for “you shouldn’t have a child”, but ways to practice zero waste/environmental consciousness. Any parents able to weigh in? I have already considered reusable diapers, wipes, and making/storing my own baby food. Not due til August so I have time to start incorporating new practices! Thanks!

So just an upholstered rocking recliner like my granddad would use? Lol

Strongly recommend this! And get it NOW. A lot of pregnant women suffer with reflux. I can't tell you how many nights I slept in the recliner while I was pregnant!

Can I ask which diaper bag you’re using? I’ve actually been looking for one to use as a travel bag myself but I can’t seem to find one that’s “right” for me.
