I started collecting a list of "Made in USA with USA materials" yesterday, so I can find things for our baby a lot easier.
Too many things are made from imported materials. I don't care if someone put a few stitches in the fabric in the USA, I care where they got the fabric from.
If you've come across anything sourced from American for babies or new parents, please let me know! I'd love some more links. 😃
what's on it so far?
I found a company called NuAngel, so I basically put all of their items that specified "made in the USA from USA materials." And then I emailed them about the receiving blankets that only said "made in usa" and "Made from quality 100% cotton flannel", to see if they just didn't specify, or if those are not American sourced. (Link below)
I also put AmericanBlossom's baby onesie on there, as they're a US cotton farm.
Red Land Cotton is cheaper for bedding so I put their bedding on the list instead.
I also found some random baby clothes from a website called "American Adorn". Some of their items say "made in USA with imported materials", but a few said with "American-milled fabrics". I only saved those.
I think these are it for now.
I did save a couple of baby car seats but I'm pretty sure even if they say "made in USA", they all have imported materials in them too 😔
Wonderful. I have serious “only Swiss made” buying habits when I’m home.
Don't you care about quality control though?
Like stuff made in USA has no regulations.
That's why your food is full of chemicals that are illegal to put into food in every other country.
It's why you drink high fructose corn syrup and everything else.
I just think if you care about your kid you should be avoiding anything made in USA
Yeah, theirs food regulations are made to kill people, seemingly, but when it comes to products, they're pretty good. I'd rather have something someone sourced from the USA, than from China or any other Asian country, or India. The regulations there are non existent and the point of their products are to be as cheap as possible.
People who still try to make things in USA are kinda like bitcoiners in the sense that they actually care about the quality they are providing.
Those who just say "made in USA" but still get imported materials are the fiat mindset ones I'd like to avoid.
Bangladesh and India have really bad pollution from their textile industries so you do make a good point about textiles.
