Baby Boom
Older, more affluent moms are inspiring a burgeoning business trend.
More women are waiting until their 30s and 40s to become mothers, according to the National Center for Health Statistics.

Today, Green Babies clothing can be found in more than 200 specialty stores nationwide as well as in more than 100 Whole Foods Markets.
