A healthy baby starts with a web site?

What?  Yes, you read that right.  Well, technically, a healthy baby starts with educated parents and caregivers...and also a web site. 

Healthy Child is a wonderful resource overflowing with helpful information on how to protect our children and keep their environment as non-toxic and healthy as possible. 

Unless you live under a rock, "going green" is the thing of the moment.   And yes, while some take going green to the extreme, Healthy Child on the other hand, makes it realistic to make easy changes. 

Easy?  That's right.  Coming from a mother of two (currently under two) if I say it's easy...it is E.A.S.Y. 

So take a quick break in between nursing sessions or during your lunch break to head over there. 

Wait, I know how busy you are - here, I'll save you the effort.  Just start with this link with
their 5 Easy Steps program.
