Raising Baby Green

"I urge parents, old and new, to read this book and to keep it on a visible bookshelf, so that these messages of simple change can be passed on until we've raised a generation of healthy children in a balanced and healthy planet." -Sara Snow, TV Host / Green Living Expert, Host of "Get Fresh with Sara Snow" on Discovery Health

Raising Baby Green: The Earth-Friendly Guide to Pregnancy, Childbirth, and Baby Care

by: Alan Greene

Amazon Price: $3.47 (as of 05/26/2012)

This book is proving itself to be a thorough and trustworthy reference. I'm finding that each time there's a new and worrisome problem in the news (first it was lead paint on the toys, and now it's toxic plastic in the baby bottles), I can turn to reassuring, authoritative advice in Raising Baby Green. Check out the box on page 132 for help in choosing safe baby bottles (if you don't have the book, you can look it up here on Amazon.) There's a huge amount of information packed into this book, (great index, by the way) and thankfully it's not preachy, just very helpful!

When is the vaccine given?

The Vaccine Book: Making the Right Decision for Your Child (Sears Parenting Library)

by: Robert W. Sears

Amazon Price: $9.90 (as of 05/26/2012)

I got this book in the mail yesterday and have already finished it. It's great! For each disease, Dr. Sears lists the following questions: What is this disease? Is it common? Is it serious? Is it treatable? When is the vaccine given? How is it made? What ingredients are in the final solution? Are any of these ingredients controversial? What are the side effects? He then lists the reasons to get the vaccine, the reasons NOT to get the vaccine, travel considerations and his own opinion. These are exactly the questions that I wanted answered.
