I raised my green babies in the 80s and 90s when it wasn't nearly as popular to be crunchy as it is now. Organic baby foods were hard to find - heck, Gerber had just started reducing the sugars in their little jars. What was a crunchy mom to do? I invested in a baby food grinder - which wasn't easy to find back then! - and carted it with me everywhere. Did it pay off? And how! My oldest green baby made the decision to go veggie at 12, and has never looked back.

Want one of your own? I highly recommend this one, which we use for the roommate's grandbabies when they come visit.

Bamboo Baby Clothes

Bamboo baby clothing is one of the hottest new items on the market. Bamboo, which signifies longevity and good luck to the Chinese, has had many uses over the years, but it's only lately been used as a clothing fiber. Bamboo baby clothes are a great choice for the organic baby for a whole bunch of reasons. Bamboo grows fast, without the use of fertilizers and pesticides. It has natural anti-microbial properties, which is especially nice for baby clothes that pick up so many organic stains. To top it all off, bamboo fabric is silky and lightweight, but its natural wicking properties make it warm in winter and cool in summer.
