This friendly, step-by-step parent's resource puts safe, practical, and affordable baby care at your fingertips.

Guide to Natural Baby Care is a wonderfully practical and accessible book that offers straightforward information and simple advice on how to reduce babies' and children's exposure to environmental toxins and embrace safer practices and "greener" products.

Engagingly written and clearly organized for quick and easy reference, the book discusses:

• caring for yourself during pregnancy
• eliminating dangerous chemicals from your home
• breast-feeding and bottle-feeding
• affordable organic baby food
• nontoxic rugs, paints, clothing, toys, and furniture
• avoiding pollutants such as pesticides, dust mites, molds, microbes, chemical fumes, and cigarette smoke
• safe soaps, shampoos, and lotions
• environmentally sounder diapers, furniture, and other greener product choices

The book also contains an extensive directory of websites, publications and companies that offer products safe for babies and children.

Mothers & Others for a Livable Planet, founded in 1989 by Meryl Streep and other concerned parents, was a leading voice for raising children in natural, nontoxic, and environmentally friendly surroundings for more than 10 years. After they closed their doors in 2001, CHEC purchased the rights to this valuable book to ensure that the information continues to be available to new parents.
