GO GREEN Review & Giveaway: HappyBaby: The Organic Guide to Baby’s First 24 Months

by holly on October 6, 2009

10 years ago, when I first became a mother, organic foods weren’t generally available. There were no Whole Foods in our area, we had a store called the PCC that I would have had to drive an hour to get to. When organic milk became available I immediately switched to it, knowing I didn’t want my daughter to consume the hormones in regular milk.

Now the choices are endless, and the information can be overwhelming. The options for “green” household cleaners, organic foods, and countless other lifestyle choices have increased exponentially in the last 10 years and there seem to be more and more each day. What kind of plastic to trust, which fruits are worth the cost to buy organic, what cleaning agents can be harmful? The book HappyBaby: The Organic Guide to Baby’s First 24 Months does an excellent job explaining those things. Written by the founders of “Happy Baby”, trusted pediatrician Dr. Robert W. Sears, MD , FAAP, and nutritionist Amy Marlow, MPH, RD, CDN, this book is a fantastic resource for all things green.

The book has information about improving your “greenness” during pregnancy and breastfeeding, in baby and toddler foods, and the household cleaners and fabrics you choose. It gives the facts about specific items, and then shows ways to make changes in your life to ‘The Palest Green”, “A Little Greener”, “Even Greener”, and “The Deepest Shade of Green”, allowing you to work in the things that are functional in your own life. It focuses on choices that are healthiest for your baby or will improve the world they will inherit from us.

This book is an interesting cover-to-cover read, or the comprehensive index in the back makes it excellent as a resource book. The back of the book includes over $100 in coupons for healthy products for your baby.

This review was written by one of our guest bloggers, Rachel, who has recently become a stay at home mom to a brand new baby boy and beautiful 9 year old daughter.

HappyBaby makes organic baby food products, several of which we reviewed a few months ago. They’ve since added HappyMelts, an organic yogurt treat for babies.
