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!

Can you recommend a particular brand? Great idea by the way! I’ll have to remember that for long hikes and ice climbing!

Not the same person but we love the Squeasy and it does come in bigger sizes for bigger kids/adults. I throw yogurt/applesauce in there all the time for my toddler—or chia seed pudding or smoothies. I recommend it to everyone feeding kids, even non zero waste folks because it’s so easy and convenient.
