A must read for moms!!!

Every woman in a child baring age should read this book. Extremely useful information, easy-to-follow tips and advices on how to raise a healthy baby in more nature conscious way.

Great book for the earth friendly mother or mother-to-be!

I am in love with this book! Whether you have been going green for years, or are totally new to the concept, this book is amazing. It talks about being organic during your pregnancy but I just bought it (my daughter is 6 months old) and I am still finding it to be extremely useful! It lets you take baby steps, instead of being bombarded with information. It would make a great shower gift as well!

Helpful overview of green parenting topics

I felt this book was a good introduction to topics - from caring for yourself during pregnancy to diapering, green cleaners, clothing, and organic food - that are of concern to new parents wanting to go green and/or do what they can to keep their new baby safe and healthy. The author spends several pages on each topic overview, each of which includes tips and advice for making solid green parenting decisions, anecdotes from health professionals, parents, and green products pioneers, and product suggestions that relate to each topic. The book will probably have the greatest appeal to parents who are new to parenting, in general, or to those who want to learn more about raising their child with an organic lifestyle and products. It is a useful companion guide to other pregnancy resources and would make a great gift for new parents.

Easy to read!

This book is an easy to follow guide for the green challenged. I am an avid recycler, but didn't know about products that go into and onto our bodies. Green Babies, Sage Moms provides great info and suggestions about how to improve your organic quest with varying degrees of "green"dom.

Handy Guide

When I got pregnant, I knew I needed a little help, that even my trusty book on organic living, Harmonious Environment: Beautify, Detoxify and Energize Your Life, Your Home and Your Planet wouldn't be enough. Sure enough, Green Babies, Sage Moms makes me feel confident that I will make the right choices for my baby. Based on the recommendations, I know how to take care of myself during pregnancy and I'm picking out the furniture, bedding and so on for my baby. Can't wait for my green baby shower! Babies are so vulnerable and having this book is exactly what I need to feel confident!
