tRegardless if you’re a soon-to-be parent, raising a few rascals as we speak, or interested in another book to add to your collection, Raising Baby Green: The Earth-Friendly Guide to Pregnancy, Childbirth, and Baby Care is just that – and a lot more.

Written by Dr. Alan Greene, a Standford pediatrician, the book boasts 320 pages chock-full of detailed information. In Raising Baby Green, Greene teams up with Jeanette Pavini and Theresa Foy DiGeronimo, pros on consumer health and parenting,to deliver a complete guide to parents on every eco-friendly option available.

The book is organized by developmental stages. Greene, Pavini and DiGeronimo offer their insight based on their expertise – from administering medication, to shopping for diapers, all bases are covered.

Standing out are the well-documented references towards important eco-matters. Instead of offering advice or explanations for the sake of a greener community, Raising Baby Green reinforces the reasoning behind each choice.

As new parents, choosing the right products is your priority for your baby, and this book has everything covered.

I recently purchased this for my sister and her husband, new parents-to-be, but read it first and couldn’t put it down.

From the back cover:

In this illustrated and easy-to-use guide, noted pediatrician Dr. Alan Greene, a leading voice of the green baby movement, advises parents how to make healthy green choices for pregnancy, childbirth, and baby care—from feeding your baby the best food available to using medicines wisely. Consumer advocate Jeanette Pavini includes information for making smart choices and applying green principles to a whole new universe of products from zero-VOC paints for the nursery, to pure and gentle lotions for baby’s delicate skin, to the eco-friendly diapers now in the marketplace, as well as specific recommendations for hundreds of other products.
