As a mom I have noticed for babies...everything is edible. Or at least everything makes it to the mouth. So then everything must have a 'food' label. As my Daughter is growing and advancing, my interest in what surrounds her is growing and advancing. As I research more and more into what is in the food we eat, I start to wonder what is going into and onto everything else? Toys, clothes, bottles, diapers, ointment...Etc.
Unfortunately living 'green' isn't a cheep thing in any area of life. It can be extremely overwhelming... To help my husband and I have decided to move slowly and start replacing (one by one) each item with organic. So as her shampoo runs out, we will buy something organic/natural, As she grows out of her clothes, start buying organic cotton/soy print. Also slowly buying wooden toys and putting others away. This way It does not come as one big shock, you can fit it into your budget as your budget allows. Another good idea is to make Christmas and birthday lists for grandparents and relatives. I send my family a list of sites with items that we really want for our little girly. That way grandma and grandpa can still get the joy of picking out her gift, and it is still something we approve of!
Here are a list of some great sites:
