Nina and Tom
Kids like to wear nina and tom because it is always fun to dress in your favorite color, food, or song or tell people how old you are or even what you've learned in school. Little ones have a lot to say. We are here to help. The shirts are about relating to the everyday pleasures of life and the joys of childhood. We also like the idea of hand-me-downs (another type of recycling), while taking great care and pride in producing a product that will last long after your child grows out of it. With that in mind, nina and tom are eco-conscious, with their product and business practices, using organic cotton, water-based inks, and low impact dyes. |

 | Baby Matters: What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Caring for Your Baby (2nd Ed.) Baby Matters brings solid evidence that supports natural parenting practices, rebuts cry-it-out parenting and the frequent usage of various drugs and vaccinations in children, reveals incredibly common, yet seldom diagnosed food intolerance symptoms—even from foods in mom's diet—and how to treat them, and discloses the real causes of ear infections, colic, reflux, ADHD, and SIDS. The book describes exactly how breastfeeding and formula feeding can produce vastly different mental and physical health outcomes for a baby. A favorite of lactation consultants, Baby Matters is one of the most powerfully persuasive and informative "why-to" healthy parenting texts to date. www.BabyReference.com 800.537.6727 |
