Organic baby products
We believe that an organic baby is a healthy baby. Organic baby products have experienced double-digit growth, as parents look for the most natural, pthalate-free, PVC-free products for babies. The most vulnerable population of all is our infant population. Although the impact of alcohol, prescription drugs, and tobacco on fetal development (particularly during the first trimester) has been well documented, fewer studies have been done on the effects of such substances as pesticides, household cleaners, and chemicals found in conventional baby care products. 
Organic baby foodFew people would question the superiority of mother's milk over commercially prepared infant formula. The benefits of breast-feeding, both to baby and mother, are well known. A recent study found a connection between the level of DHA (an Omega-3 fatty acid found in fish) in breast milk and enhanced newborn development (Journal of Pediatric Psychiatry, Sept. 2005.) Breast milk is higher in the amino acid taurine (concentrated in infant brain cells), as well as beneficial antibodies taken from the mother. I myself breast-fed my three children for the first few months after birth; they were happy and healthy, rarely missed a day of school, and today are making wise choices about what they eat (for the most part)! They were given cod-liver oil as children, and there was no soda in the house. I even tried my hand at cloth diapers (very briefly!). As for baby food, when the time came, I prepared my own. Making your own natural baby food is quite simple - armed with my Moulinex Mini-food processor, I would bake or poach meats, steam vegetables, and toss them in with a little milk or vegetable broth. No seasoning was used. My children loved it! Back then, our organic baby food choices were rather limited. Today, organic baby food sales were up 16.9 percent in 2005. There are more choices available now, some of which are listed below.
