I feel you. On my baby shower registry I order only the most essential items and ask guest to please avoid gifting plastic. My registry contained mostly reusable diapers and wood, and cotton stuff. I asked in it for hand me downs and old baby stuff.
Now we’ve had three strollers since she was born (he’s 2). His daycare doesn’t accept reusable diapers, so we only use them when he’s home, and his toy collection has a ridiculous amount of plastic (toy cars of every size, legos, magnetic tiles, Toy Story plastic figures -3 buzz light years-)
The guilt is real, but remind yourself. This is beyond individual capacity. Our actions, unfortunately barely matter while big companies and governments do nothing to change how things are manufactured. So what you can, compost, donate toys, recicle… however, plastic and the environment is beyond any individual. Just know you are doing your part, but this is a bigger problem.
