WOW!
That is interesting. I was shocked when I saw Parent's Choice organic baby formula over the weekend. I will keep a look out for more products!

Bumping this up. If you don't mind shopping at WalMart, check it out. I haven't been there in probably 5 months and went last night. I was amazed at all the organics they are carrying now. Some things I can still get cheaper at the health food store here (which is a national chain) when it's on sale, but other stuff was far cheaper at WM. The store I was in had one teeny display rack of of the organic cotton baby clothes (under the George label) and only went up to size 6-9 months, but the prices were no more than if you were buying any other outfit. I am one that truly hates to give WM my business, but since this will make my dollar stretch further I will be doing more shopping there in the future.

Warning: I did notice a box of Parent's Choice diaper wipes that proudly displayed that they were made with organic cotton. I read the label and they still contain all the yucky ingredients like propylene glycol and such so the organic cotton bit doesn't amount to a hill of beans as my Grandma would say. LOL

I think it is great that Wal-Mart is doing this. If nothing else, it will make more people think about making healthier choices for their families. I have noticed lately that there seems to be more and more products that are marketing organic variations. You're right though quilter mom, just because it says "natural" or "organic" you still need to check the labels. It is kinda like the sugar free/ fat free craze- that makes it sound good, but sometimes the label tells another story.
