Going green is "in." So how about greening up your parenting? That includes everything from switching to healthier, organic eating to avoiding toxins such as cigarette smoke and harsh household cleaners.
Plus, when you're shopping for baby, make sure your bottles are BPA free and your diapers are free of chlorine.
Many people go green to reduce waste and avoid potentially dangerous environmental toxins.
Some new parents are embracing the green movement to lower their family's risk of exposure to household contaminants.
