on 7/6/2009 AffordableBabyOrganics.com is an easy way to save on organic baby products! It is a store that specializes in making organics affordable to the average family. Their onesies for example, are 100% organic cotton and are priced below $10. Everywhere else I have looked are upwards of $20 per onesie. They are a great resource to add to this list.
