When I built my first baby registry, I was mostly guessing.
I was exhausted, overwhelmed, and just hoping the products I picked were safe and would actually help.

Now, years later—and after creating one of my own—I want to share a few things I wish I’d had on my registry. These are what I’d call true nontoxic baby registry must-haves: products made by people who care about what goes in and around your baby, without the hidden chemicals, gimmicks, or unnecessary tech.

As a mom and the founder of Soothe Beginnings, these are three products that completely align with how I think about baby gear today: clean, simple, and designed for peace of mind.

DISCLOSURE: I was not paid to make this list. The other brands don't even know I am writing this. I just love their products and how these mom invented products put yours and your baby's health first. 

1. The Soothe Beginnings Pacifier Starter Kit

Yes, I had to invent this one, because it didn’t exist when I needed it most.

Every pacifier I tried for my daughter either had allergens, trapped moisture, or just didn’t feel right. I wanted something that was nontoxic, durable, and actually tested, not just labeled “safe.” I also didn't want my baby literally sucking on plastic... 

The Soothe Beginnings 3-in-1 Starter Kit includes three interchangeable nipples (Nursing, Orthodontic, and Standard) so your baby can choose what feels most natural. It’s made with medical-grade silicone and a Richlite® shield that’s Greenguard Gold Certified—the same certification we look for in their crib and mattress that meets strict limits on chemical emissions. That means fewer VOCs in your baby’s environment and cleaner air where it matters most. Plus, the shield is RIGHT under their nose.

It’s also PFAS-tested, latex-free, and plastic-free, which checks every box for parents building a nontoxic registry.
And since you only replace the nipples, not the whole pacifier, it’s a smarter, more sustainable choice long-term.

2. Sleep of Mind Sleep Sack

If I could go back to those first months of parenthood, this would be on the top of my list.

The Sleep of Mind Sleep Sack gives your baby a cozy, secure sleep environment, without any tech, wires, or Bluetooth monitors. It’s proof that you don’t need gadgets to get peace of mind at night.

What makes it special is its commitment to clean materials: organic cotton exterior, non-toxic dyes, and OEKO-TEX Certified fabric. It’s soft, breathable, and washable, everything you actually need in the middle of the night.

I love that it focuses on what matters most: comfort, breathability, and simplicity. When a product can help your baby (and you) rest easier, without adding unnecessary tech, that’s a win.

3. The Tush Present

Let’s talk postpartum—because no one really prepares you for that part.

After birth, I struggled with swelling, pain, and eventually hemorrhoids (fun, right?). Sitting was the worst. I wish I’d had The Tush Present, a clean, non-toxic seating cushion specifically designed for postpartum recovery.

Unlike inflatable donuts that actually increase pressure, this cushion is designed to relieve it. It supports healing by taking pressure off sensitive areas, helping you sit comfortably while you recover.

And because it’s made with organic, nontoxic, and non-endocrine distripting materials, it’s something you can feel good about using during such a vulnerable time. It’s one of those simple yet genius products that puts comfort and well-being first.

Why These Belong on Every Nontoxic Baby Registry

Each of these products shares the same core philosophy: better materials, thoughtful design, and real-life functionality.

• Greenguard Gold Certification ensures products release minimal chemical emissions—safer air for your nursery.

• PFAS Testing verifies that your baby’s products don’t contain “forever chemicals” often found in plastics and textiles.

• Organic materials mean they’re built for direct baby use without endocrine compromise.

When you’re building your registry, focus on the products your baby will use every day, the ones that touch their skin, go in their mouth, or support your recovery. Those are the items worth doing a little extra research on.

The Bottom Line

You don’t need a hundred products to prepare for baby, you just need the right ones.

The Soothe Beginnings Pacifier, the Sleep of Mind Sleep Sack, and The Tush Present each bring something rare to the baby world: peace of mind through simplicity. They’re clean, practical, and made to truly support both you and your baby through those early months.

Because the best registry isn’t just full of stuff, it’s full of things that make you feel confident, calm, and cared for.
