The debate about using plastic bottles is in full force with some moms reverting to glass and other’s using disposables. I don’t know about any of you out there but glass in my home isn’t going to work and disposable aren’t good for the environment. So how do we keep our babies safe and still allow ourselves to have the convenience that plastic baby bottles provide?

Green to Grow has the solution. Their baby bottles are made from PES plastic, which gives them a natural golden color. They are free of phthalates and free of bisphenol A – a suspected hormone-disrupting chemical used in polycarbonate plastic, from which most baby bottles are made. This is a fabulous organic alternative and a great way to keep baby safe without sacrificing mom and dad’s great need to have convenience! You can purchase these at Green to Grow.com, prices start at $7.49-$10.49.

Sama Baby is a mother/daughter team in love with wellness and organic living. They admit they don’t always do it perfectly themselves but that babies deserve the best. I used Sama Baby on my son who has terrible Asthma. He usually wakes up in the morning with the sniffles. We can’t afford to put in all hardwood flooring which kills me but I desperately wanted him to feel better when he woke up. I tried an air purifier and everything but nothing worked. I put him in Sama Baby for 3 nights and I’ve never seen such a happy baby. He LOVES his Sama clothes. They are 100% Organic Cotton and come in adorable soft baby colors. SAMA is designing a gorgeous line for Fall 2008 but you can see their introductory line at Bugs & Blossoms at 20% OFF!

Do you question the organic food movement and whether or not its worth it? Read The O’Mama Report (theorganicreport.com/index.cfm) to learn more about organic food for children. Did you know immature infant organs and body systems are more susceptible to damage from toxins in foods? Infant digestive tracts absorb toxins more easily, and young kidneys are inefficient at excreting toxins, allowing them to circulate longer in the body. Children cannot withstand that level of exposure. The goal is to have fresh, organic, local food. But oftentimes that’s not possible with our busy lives. Here are a few companies bridging that gap for new moms: Homemade Baby (homemadebaby.com), Bohemian Baby (bohemianbaby.com), Loving Spoonfuls (lovingspoonfulsbabyfood.com), and Little Potatoes (littlepotatoesbabyfood.com). These are baby-food manufacturers, small companies specializing in freshly prepared organic food for infants and toddlers
