For those are also leaning towards greener alternatives for their new babies, below are a few of my thoughts and many websites that offer organic and natural products.
Look for labels such as "eco-friendly", "organic", "natural","hypoallergenic" or "sensitive skin". These are usually made with little to no synthetics and will be better for little one's developing immune system. With ever increasing rates of asthma in children, recalls on imported toys containing lead, hormone disrupter chemicals like Bisphenol-A, and the high pesticide level of cotton, it's becoming easier and easier to make mindful choices that are better for your baby's health.
Check out these ideas, as well as, stores and websites for green alternatives:
handmade or slightly used items (e.g. thrift stores, www.craigslist.org, www.freecycle.com)
Mothering magazine, www.mothering.com
Babies R Us, Target and Wal-Mart ~ have organic and natural options (especially Babies R Us)
