Organic Cradle Bedding Giveaway from Naturally Good
Congrats to the Domestic Spaz - You’ve won!
I’ve discussed SIDS on this site before and how important it is to have truly healthy bedding. For several years, countries outside of the U.S. (all over Europe, Australia, New Zealand, etc.) have promoted safe, chemical-free baby bedding as being the surest way to avoid losing babies to SIDS. So why isn’t it promoted here? The possibilities are too numerous to list today, but fortunately we do have places to go to find proper, safe bedding for our smallest family members. Naturally Good not only sells organic cotton and wool bedding for everyone, but they are having a dkMommy Spot giveaway here: One full set of organic cradle bedding for one of you.
Naturally Good sells lots of chemical-free items, which we really like around here, and their baby bedding selection is most impressive. Some of the common bedding chemicals Naturally Good avoids are: formaldehyde, arsenic, pesticide residue, and flame retardants (known to mix with a baby’s fluid, producing toxic fumes). In the place of all those chemicals is a peace of mind every parent wants when their newborn is sleeping.
What’s included in today’s giveaway? Glad you asked! One organic wool puddle pad for the cradle ($33 retail), one organic cotton pad for the cradle ($33 retail), and one organic natural sateen sheet for the cradle ($20 retail). That’s $86 worth of natural, organic baby cradle bedding. If you aren’t expecting a newborn, these would make the perfect baby shower gift. If someone would have given me this as a shower gift, I think I would have flipped right over my own greenie self.
3 Ways to Win:
1.) Visit the Naturally Good site and take a look around. Come back here and tell me something you liked or learned during your visit. There’s lots to learn here! Remember, leave an interesting comment. If I can’t contact the winner, you might be chosen instead based on your comment.

Ugh, I had no idea mattresses could be the cause of SIDS. Nerve gasses, no wonder! That’s scary. Thanks for the link.
July 25th, 2008 at 10:20 am
Wow, having a son who is allergic to many, MANY foods, and environmental allergens AND ASTHMA! It was hard reading this:
These mattresses outgas over the years and emit potentially toxic substances that you absorb into your skin and lungs which may cause allergic reactions and a many other very serious health problems. Sleep problems, headaches, and asthma to name just a few.

July 25th, 2008 at 12:23 pm
I really enjoy the philosophy of ….Body, Mind and Soul…..
I’m going to try their suggestion of on wakening, to stretch and take a minute to give myself some positive affirmations!
I understand the effects of “emotional pain leading to physical pain” or somotization as I am the Queen of Somotization……unfortunately.
What a wonderful site, with great philosophy and quality products.
July 25th, 2008 at 12:26 pm
Wow… I learned a ton about SIDS over there. I’m done having babies, but my best friend is due in December and I’d love to win this for her.
I blogged about it for you, too! http://slackermomof3.blogspot.com/2008/07/giveaway-extravaganza.html

I guess I just got used to buying “whatever is cheapest”. You can’t put a price on your child’s health….. thanks for offering this !! lisae819(at)yahoo(dot)com

July 25th, 2008 at 3:35 pm
We owe it to our children to give them the best possible start in life… and organic is definitely a way to do that… besides the importance of quality sleep, the amount of allergens in thier bedding can contribute to illness… most of us can’t afford to purchase items like this these days…. but when it comes right down to it.. can we really afford NOT to?! What a great giveaway!
July 25th, 2008 at 3:42 pm
wow how sweet i love to try and win this for my little one it would help out a lot thanks

I learned that parabens are preservatives, which I didn’t know. And there is a possibitity that they can change your hormone levels, which is a bad thing!
July 25th, 2008 at 5:01 pm
Gotta love natural organic products, especially when it comes to bedding. Nothing’s worse than your skin getting irritaed by artificial products!
July 25th, 2008 at 5:19 pm
chemical free products!!!
July 25th, 2008 at 5:22 pm
I suffer from allergies, and with our first baby on the way, I would love the opportunity to try anything that can help her with possible allergy problems.
July 25th, 2008 at 5:30 pm
As one of their articles states, It really is up to each of us to decide….is it worth the risk to use food and items that contain chemicals that could cause health problems or change to organic products even if they cost more.
July 25th, 2008 at 5:32 pm
I like the organic pet beds. Wow they were out of stock of alot of products or didnt carry them anymore. The site was also kind of hard to navigate. Thanks for the giveaway though~!

I love that they carry an organic pet bed! I’m a pet sitter and have so many stories. I used to take care of a lovely Basenji mix who had terrible skin problems. She underwent test after test trying to detect an allergy. Turns out her bedding had a treatment to keep it from getting smelly and THAT is what caused this poor dog’s rashes and alopecia. Her mom made a bed for her from organic fabric and that’s all she needed!
July 25th, 2008 at 7:42 pm
My son has severe allergic to dust..this would be so helpful!

Definately something I could use! Thanks for the great giveaway:)
July 25th, 2008 at 9:59 pm
excellent idea…I guess I am paranoid but I bought a new mattress for each of the kiddos growing up..and then the pooches got a fancy doggie bed

i really like your cotton baby pant and tee set.
July 26th, 2008 at 2:09 am
I learned that lead wicks in candles can cause lead poisoning. I also learned that SIDS was rare before 1950 because harmful chemicals were not added to mattresses. It was interesting to read the articles.
I’d love to win this and give as a baby shower gift.
July 26th, 2008 at 5:03 am
This is really good information to have. I was not aware of all the harmful chemicals. It is pretty sad that it has been that way. I’m glad that the world is becoming a more conscious place and people are getting back to the basics.

After losing a brother to SIDS, I’m a little paranoid with my kids in those first few months. It’s good to know more information about it.
July 26th, 2008 at 5:25 am
The information on how toxic crib mattresses are…such valuable information.
July 26th, 2008 at 7:39 am
I was really interested in all the articles but the one that stood out for me as of right now is “Are the Parabens in our Personal Care Products Really Harmful?” because I use lotions as a daily routine… even for my son Gabriel (Johnson & Johnson) its great to know that now there are Organic and safe options! The Love your Body Cream sounds really great too!

I sure wish manufacturers would pay attention to research and provide our babies with safe cribs and bedding! We’re all willing to pay a little more to protect our kids.
July 26th, 2008 at 11:32 am
These items sound neet and I could use a new mattress pad
July 26th, 2008 at 2:27 pm

Lots of good info on SIDS and prevention measures. Guaranteed that we will be passing this info along.

Prevention is worth a pound of cure. Thanks for the access to SIDS info.
July 26th, 2008 at 6:18 pm
When my daughter was in her crib, SIDS was something I thought about constantly. Thanks for helping to make people aware.

I was so ignorant about this condition, I didn’t know there was so much you could do to prevent it. Right down to how you clean the mattress pad. Every little detail counts.
July 26th, 2008 at 9:03 pm
With all the problems with lead in toys and small parts, it’s nice to see that these bedding materials are organic and pure!
July 27th, 2008 at 12:00 am
I love the entry about pets and incorporating organic products into caring for them in order to have a healthier family overall.
July 27th, 2008 at 12:28 am
it’s amazing how much you have to worry about - it was interesting learning about the causes of SIDS
July 27th, 2008 at 6:51 am
I learned a lot about pets!
July 27th, 2008 at 8:51 am
Wow, interesting article. I’ve saved it for my sister who is expecting in Jan (and who this would be for if I win) I always co-slept with my babies but this is great info for any parents expecting a new baby!
July 27th, 2008 at 10:45 am
Didn’t know much about parabens before this, scary stuff.
July 27th, 2008 at 12:23 pm
I have always thought it was important to have healthy bedding too, but the article really backed up that argument and put a lot into perspective. Anything I can do to help prevent SIDS is a good move.

wow! im glad to see a site so geared towards natural and healthy products and issues. I never would have thought a mattress could make you sick. Now I know! Thanks for the link and the contest opportuniy!
July 27th, 2008 at 8:30 pm
I learned that most candle wicks contain high levels of lead. That really scares me. The fact that when the burnt wicks are blown on, lead dust is spread around the house. What about birthday candle wicks? Do they contain lead? If so, then we are blowing lead dust on our birthday cakes. Really scary. I must look into this further. I’m glad this was brought to my attention.
July 27th, 2008 at 9:19 pm
Knowing that they have organic bedding would make me feel like I have my child sleeping in some of the safest products available.
July 27th, 2008 at 9:36 pm

July 27th, 2008 at 10:02 pm
I did not know that the chemicals in the mattresses can make babies sick because it could be absorbed into the skin and lungs. My five month old has had an unexplained hacking cough every night. I wonder if its his mattress- I guess it’s time to get some organic mattresses and bedding.
July 27th, 2008 at 10:34 pm
My dog would like the pet bed!

July 28th, 2008 at 2:08 am
Well I’m fired up now. With all that research about SIDS and the connection to harmful chemicals in matresses you would think there would be some sort or regulation put on them. I would also think that the public would be more aware of the threat. I had never heard any of this before but am glad I know about it now. I knew organic was better but had no idea how much better it was when it comes to bedding.

July 28th, 2008 at 12:11 pm
I wonder if the new modern mattresses are the main cause of sids? That would explain why if a baby is sleeping on his/her stomach it would have increased risk. Their face would be closer to the nerve gas. Scary and sad.

July 28th, 2008 at 12:54 pm
I’ve got a baby due in November, so this set would be perfect for me. In checking out the site, I saw some interesting information on SIDS… I’d never heard of the whole ‘nerve gas’ aspect, so I’ll have to do a little research and see what I find.
July 28th, 2008 at 1:00 pm
I had no idea that research done over the past 13 years in Great Britain and New Zealand indicates that Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) is an environmental poisoning in the crib.
July 28th, 2008 at 1:15 pm
I had no idea how many toxic chemicals children can be exposed to! All the more reason to go all-natural and organic!
July 28th, 2008 at 1:33 pm

I had no idea that there weren’t any restrictions on chemicals used in mattresses. I was amazed by the comparison of data regarding SIDS between places like the US and Japan and Russia. I will need to go back and read further at another time.
I would love to be entered to win your giveaway. This is a fabulous prize.
July 28th, 2008 at 4:27 pm
What interesting information. I learned that in a reused mattress, fungus established in prior use cause toxic gas generation to commence sooner and in greater volume.
I’d love to win this to give as a baby shower gift to my niece who is due in November.
July 28th, 2008 at 4:28 pm
Our family loves strawberries and we knew that they were good for you for antioxidants and such, but to find out that they are good for boosting my metabolism and eventually losing weight? Bonus! Sweet…
July 28th, 2008 at 4:39 pm
The article on the link of fungus growing in baby mattresses and SIDS is very scary. I’ll be checking my mattress cover to make sure it’s cotton.
July 28th, 2008 at 4:48 pm

Keep the baby on their side
July 28th, 2008 at 10:35 pm
the body stores many of the chemicals found in mattresses in fatty tissue, including the brain.
July 28th, 2008 at 10:44 pm
This might be obvious but I didn’t realize that there were chemicals in baby bedding. Or any bedding for that matter. I would love to win this.

July 28th, 2008 at 11:23 pm
I like the article Is Your Mattress Making You Sick?
When we buy new mattress’s I keep the plastic on plus I buy a zipper plastic cover the I cover that with a cloth mattress pad, then my sheet. My family hates this process but I thought I was keeping them safe from the dust mites, never thought about chemicals.
My son is expexting his first child and has been telling me about the fears of sids.
Winning this prize would give my son a little relief knowing these are a healhy choice for his new son.
Thank you so much for a chance to win…

Thank you for the PSA. As a nurse we frequently surprise parents with tips such as not smoking, choosing safe bedding that fits snugly into the cribs, not covering baby’s face with blankets, and not having baby share the bed with stuffed animals. It’s such a tragic loss and makes me teary thinking of real life stories we’ve heard in our work.
My best friend miscarried last winter and is finally pregnant again and due later this fall/early winter. What a blessing this gift set would be for her.

I learned alot about SIDS that I didn’t know about before. This product sounds great!
July 29th, 2008 at 4:13 am
That’s horrible that SIDs was so rare before the 1950s — horrible because mankind is causing its own problems…
I’m going to have to check back and read more!

I learned that maybe it is the mattresses that are causing babies to die from SIDS. Very scary!!
July 29th, 2008 at 9:51 am
I read all the information on SIDS, that is so scary, and just heartbreaking. Thank you for sharing such an informative site.

great giveaway!
i hope i’m the lucky winner

One interesting, yet disgusting, thing I read was:
Every mattress was infected with the S. Brevicaulis fungus as an organism and spores
I think I just threw up in my mouth! Ewwwww! I had NO IDEA. None whatsoever of the problems with bedding. This really makes you stop and think!
July 29th, 2008 at 12:18 pm
Wow! The link between toxic nerve gases in mattresses and SIDS is scary. We are due with #2 and I think we will be sure to get a new mattress for him/her. I read that the risk increases as the mattress is used with additional babies.

I didn’t know boys were at a higher risk for SIDS than girls. Interesting info.
July 29th, 2008 at 12:53 pm
How scary! That mattress can be the cause of SIDS. The practice of mattress wrapping is very interesting.

Thanks for the great giveaway! I never knew that SIDS was linked to bedding quality or how dangerous it can be to use a used mattress. Thanks for the great info and the great giveaway!

This would be a great gift for my sister in law, as she is pregnant with her first child and my first little niece or nephew! I didn’t know that sleeping on a non-organic bed causes headaches, allergies, sleep problems, etc. That may be the cause of some of my health issues! (I get constant migraines.)
Thanks for the giveaway!
July 29th, 2008 at 2:49 pm
Thanks for the giveaway and trying to educate us. I didn’t realize that SIDS risk increases with the number of kids you have because of reusing the mattress. Very interesting, and something to think about. Thanks for educating me!
July 29th, 2008 at 3:02 pm
There is a lot of eye-opening info there. I appreciate the suggestion they give to “Listen to what your body is telling you” to make an informed choice. So many people choose products based on popularity, but that doesn’t make those good decisions! Have a great week.
July 29th, 2008 at 3:05 pm
Wow. We are getting ready to welcome our third child through adoption but first newborn and the info on SIDS was very helpful (and scary!).
July 29th, 2008 at 3:52 pm
I don’t think I have heard anything about the fungus theory. Makes sense though.
July 29th, 2008 at 4:03 pm
I love the organic cotton sheets - especially in blue leaf. tinawittmer(at)yahoo(dot)com

I too did not know that SIDS is more common in boys than girls.
July 29th, 2008 at 8:15 pm
Every mattress was infected with the S. Brevicaulis fungus as an organism and spores.
- All mattresses had one or more of the chemicals phosphorus, arsenic or antimony.
Scary stuff.
July 29th, 2008 at 8:18 pm
Wow. Now that I will be staying up all night making sure my son is alive…… more common in boys, yikes!

I’m now a subscriber to your blog and after reading this: As babies get older, the gas exposure gives them a headache causing them to move around, wake their parents and stand up in their cribs.
My baby has a new organic mattress on its way with new sheets!
Thank you so much for your blog.

I’ve read the New Zealand info before, but glad to have another resource site! Thanks!

I visited the website and was interested to read that organic products are more expensive because they have to meet a higher standard of regulations. So, it sounds like they are definitely worth the money!
July 31st, 2008 at 12:54 pm
I actually had no clue that baby’s bedding could create toxic nerve gas. That is so scary! Do you buy into it? I just don’t know what is hype anymore and what isn’t. I do love organic materials so I would love the giveaway, I am just unsure about the article. Hmmm…Thoughts to ponder.

I love that the bedding is organic…better for baby and family!
July 31st, 2008 at 2:25 pm
I try to do as much as possible to protect my babies, so anything organic has got to be a good thing in my book! I didn’t know SIDS was more common in boys than girls. We’re expecting #3 in November, it would be great to have some organic bedding.
July 31st, 2008 at 2:48 pm
I had no clue about the gasses in mattresses!
lease count me in on this one.
