No matter how cute baby fashions are, ask and just about any new mom will tell you that the easiest outfit for a newborn is the snap suit. So for your green baby, stock up on Kate Quinn Organics Short Sleeve Bodysuits. After all, you only want the best for your baby right? These little one piece numbers are made from 100 percent organic cotton so you can be sure pesticides weren’t used to create the staples your baby will live in for the first few months.
Even though the line is based on simplicity and elegant lines, Kate Quinn Organics makes choosing baby basics fun, too. Instead of dressing your little one in plain white onesies, you can choose from lots of bright colorful options like apple, ginger or starlight shown above. Click here to read more

When you have a new addition on the way, you want everything to be perfect. You’ve probably heard your fair share of the best ways to avoid BPA and the green diaper debate. But what about the big stuff for your green baby? Once that nesting urge hits, you’ll want the nursery to be the best and safest haven you can offer your little one.
The furniture you put in your nursery can have an impact, too. One green baby collection to consider is Muu. Like the Sam Changing Table shown here, Muu’s line is made from recycled wood fiber particleboard making it a more eco-friendly furniture option. Plus, you have to keep in mind that painted or finished pieces in your baby’s room can off-gas toxic VOCs into the air. This collection, however, uses a non-toxic finish.
What’s more, Muu’s line is based on lengthening the life of each piece. So the changing table, for example, can become a dresser later once the changing tray is removed. Or, with a conversion kit, the Sam Crib can become a toddler bed. Worried that your toddler, or even further down the line, your tween, won’t like what you picked out on day one despite the longevity of the line? Click here to read more

Slathering chemical-laden personal care products on adult skin can increase your body burden as the toxins are absorbed. But babies absorb even more through their skin and are also more susceptible to that absorption of ingredients both good and bad. Lafe’s green baby line offers vegan, cruelty-free, organic products that you can feel good about using on your little one.
The green baby collection includes foaming shampoo and wash, baby oil, baby lotion and even insect repellent–and all four products are 95% certified organic. Aside from the long list of organic ingredients like coconut oil, aloe and sunflower seed oil you won’t find any parabens, propylene glycol, sulfates or artificial preservatives, dyes or colors. Everything in the line is fragrance-free and hypoallergenic for sensitive baby skin. Click here to read more

So far, pollution has been slandered as being at the origin of respiratory diseases and global warming. A surprising Spanish study might weigh up the negative impact of pollution. According to this study, pollution might turn babies into obese children. The exposure of your child to a series of common chemicals, before its birth, could affect his/her health and turn him into an obese child.
To prevent child obesity, organic and natural products may have a preventive effect. By giving organic food to your green baby, you might improve his/her chances. Better for your health, organic and natural products are to be consumed before your child’s birth and of course to be shared with him afterwards!
We are all born with a different metabolism. Consequently, our predispositions regarding weight gain differ (life isn’t a piece of cake!). Your beautiful green baby might be threatened…
The scientists of the Municipal Institute of Medical Research in Barcelona suggest that pollution Click here to read more
