The Bite:
imageWondering what’s in your baby bottle’s DNA? Keep your wee one’s sippers healthy by grabbing BPA-free bottles (plus eco cosmetics, biodegradable diapers and more) from Andersonville’s new eco kids boutique, Green Genes. Pick up organic balms and creams from Erbaviva (the baby lip and cheek stick for chapped skin is brill) as well as those BPA- and phthalate-free Green to Grow bottles. GG also stocks one of our fave local toys: Scrappies - quirky stuffed animals sewn with repurposed fabric (see photo). And don’t miss Anna Woltz’s goofy comic book for urban tots “WonderToast Wonders About: The Alphabet” (N is for nigiri). New this month? Storytime. Genetic engineering at its best.
Wanna Try: 
Green Genes, 5111 N. Clark St. b/t Winona St. and Carmen Ave. (773-944-9250). Erbaviva Organic Baby Lip and Cheek Balm, $10; Scrappies, $24-55/doll. Storytime, every Thu., 10:30 a.m.
