Organic Motherhood Books Alpharetta GA

There's nothing more fun than dreaming about that newborn you'll soon be holding, and flipping through the pages of What to Expect While You're Expecting or watching Baby Story. But for green mamas-to-be, there's a wealth of information that can not only give you entertainment when baby's kicks keep you awake, but can also equip you to build a green life with your baby. Here are three books we think are well worth your time.

Green Babies, Sage Moms: The Ultimate Guide to Raising Your Organic Baby by Lynda Fassa

Fassa offers an approachable guide to organic motherhood from Part 1: Pregnancy through Part 2: Life with a Newborn and on to Part 3: Your Green Baby. All three sections are divided into easily digestible chapters, each covering a main topic of concern for that particular portion of the motherhood journey. For example, the Pregnancy section of the book is divided into chapters dealing with what to eat while you're pregnant , how to take care of yourself (skin, beauty, perfumes, body products, etc.) while pregnant, advice on having a green baby shower, and how to safely get ready for baby. Section 2, which deals with your baby's arrival, gives sound, practical advice on everything from what baby gear to invest in to thoughts on organic clothes , diapers, and how to prep your home and kitchen for life with a baby.

What's especially appealing about Fassa's book is that she acknowledges that a pregnant Mama may not have the time, energy or finances to commit to a huge overhaul or go 100% organic; so Fassa gives practical tips and makes recommendations on how best to spend that precious time and energy. Her book is full of sidebars which highlight great products, options or ideas for organic living, so you're given not only a lot of information, but a great list of resources for taking the next green steps.
