Dr. Alan Greene, called the "Al Gore of Pediatrics" by Parenting magazine, offers his best advice on making healthy choices during pregnancy and childbirth, feeding babies only the best food available and using medicines safely.
This handy paperback is organized by the rooms of the home where the children will sleep, eat and play. Dr. Greene is joined by consumer product expert Jeanette Pavini, who helps parents make smart choices on linens and diapers, bedding, furniture, plants, cribs, toys, carriers, household cleaners, lotions and creams, and dozens of other products.
With advice on every possible space a child will visit (from the womb to the backyard), the expert authors provide specific product choices and recommendations in an easy-to-use package that features handy lists, real-life stories, personal insights, consumer product ratings and handsome illustrations.

has provided an excellent guidebook for that. I urge parents, old and new, to read this book and to keep it on a visible bookshelf, so that these messages of simple change can be passed on until we've raised a generation of healthy children in a balanced and healthy planet.”
