Green Babies, Sage Moms

So reader Ali gave Green Babies, Sage Moms: The Ultimate Guide to Raising Your Organic Baby two thumbs up. Lynda Fassa, the author, makes the adorable Green Babies organic kids' clothes--one of the first organic companies to do so. She asked the FertilityBitch to write the chapter on environmental toxins (includes vaccines, and more). I was pleased at how open (but discerning) she was toward the various views of the "green gurus" in the book.

This book is incredibly well researched AND fun to read. I sure wish I had this book when my guy was young!

You can get this at any bookstore and Whole Foods is also carrying it.
