Win with your Whole Baby at Whole Foods!

I know that many of you are trying to "change your ways" when it comes to your household purchases. I have started to go more green, as well, switching out some common items on my shopping list with earth-friendlier options. Sometimes you may wonder how you can possibly do it, with so many products on the market.

Whole Foods has gone a long way to ensure that buying better is now easier. In fact, they are focusing their efforts on the smallest shoppers - babies! Here's an example of a typical diaper bag, and what small changes can be made to make it more "green":

• Instead of formula with artificial colors and flavors(when breastfeeding is not an option), try organic!
• Switch our your bottles containing BPA, polycarbonate plastic, and pthalates, consider glass ones or those that contain certain plastics, such as polyethylene (#1, #2, #4) and polypropylene (#5).
• Kick those diapers with chlorine and artificial scents, and go with latex-free and dye-free alternatives.
  

Whole Baby shopping list, you can be sure that even the smallest changes are effortless!

What are my favorite products from the Whole Baby product offerings? Definitely the Seventh Generation diapers and Hyland's Teething Tablets and Gel.

There's even a fantastic way to put your baby in the spotlight -- and win some fantastic prizes!
