For parents, expecting through age 6

Healthier picks for your little ones, without the legwork.

A short, honest list of lower-tox baby and kid products, chosen by a mom who spent a decade inside the consumer-products industry. And if what you already have is fine, I'll tell you that too.

The five swaps that matter most in year one.

Not all of them, and not all at once. Pick one this month. These are the things your baby touches, eats from or sleeps on every single day, so a small change goes a long way.

Hi, I'm Alexia

I used to help make the products. Now I help you choose them.

I spent more than a decade inside the consumer-products industry — building grocery storefronts, launching my own organic food company, and working behind the scenes at one of the country's biggest household-goods companies. I learned that making a better product is rarely simple — and what a label says doesn't always tell the whole story.

So I built Little Green List: a short, carefully researched list of lower-tox products, without the legwork. Every pick starts with the data — third-party certifications, ingredient databases, published research — and ends with a human judgment call: mine. Not sponsored, not auto-generated. And if what you already own is perfectly fine, I'll tell you that too.

How I vet every product
Screened for harmful ingredients and materials including: PFAS, phthalates, parabens, flame retardants, fragrance/parfum and hormone disruptors
Verified with (but not solely reliant on) EWG, MadeSafe, OEKO-TEX, GOTS, and USDA Organic certifications
High rating on EWG and Yuka where applicable
Personal experience as a mom of two — because picks need to be clean and work in our household
Refreshed regularly — if a brand reformulates or a better option emerges, the list gets updated
