Jane Walter - organicKidz Founder

Jane founded organicKidzTM in 2008, out of a desire to provide children and parents with a toxin free, unbreakable alternative to plastic and glass bottles.  ”When the BPA scare hit, I felt tremendous guilt that my children had used plastic bottles. At the time I thought I was using the best bottles, but the brand I was using was one of the worst. I don’t think I will ever get over that guilt, but it fueled a passion in me.”

 

 

 Her focus ever since has been to get organicKidzTM baby bottles into the hands of as many children as possible.  What has been her most inspiring event since starting organicKidzTM?  When she got a call from a pediatric ICU nurse from a Canadian hospital telling her the story of a 6 month old baby who had spent 5 of his 6 months in a the hospital with cancer.   After finally getting a clean bill of health, the baby wasn’t going to be released as he wasn’t drinking anything despite the staff’s best efforts.    Luckily, one of the nurses brought in an organicKidzTM bottle – the baby took to it immediately and was released a day later after spending virtually his entire life in the hospital.  His parents and staff were referring to organicKidzTM bottles as “miracle bottles.” As Jane put it, “Hearing stories like this validates everything I’m trying to accomplish.”

 

In the past year, organicKidzTM baby bottles have taken off.  In addition to being sold in 35 countries around the world, and being named Disneyfamily.com’s Top Green and Organic Product,  they are sold in the Alberta Children’s Hospital in Calgary… an outlet Jane often points proudly to!
