Is it safe for my baby?

As moms all we want is what's best for our babies, but how much do we really know about the safety of such product that we use for our baby? as a mother knowledge is our base that we can do to protect our little one, just as much how we take good care our body when we were growing that little peanut inside our womb. According to EWG conducted survey that children everyday have been expose to an average of 27 personal care product ingredients that have been not found safe for developing bodies. And 77 percent of the ingredients in 1,700 children's products have not been assessed for safety (imagine that!). By using fewer personal care products for our children, Parents can make healthy choices by simply educating our self in picking the right product and ignoring ad hype and following these tips.

Baby Wipes
 Avoid ( 2- bro-mo-2-nitro propane- 1,3-diol ( or Bronopol), DMDM hydantoin, Fragrance)

Diaper Cream
 Avoid ( BHA, boric acid, sodium borate, fragrance)

Sunscreen infants under 6 months don't belong in the sun and they shouldn't wear sunscreen. For older babies and children use protective clothing and sunscreen that provides UVA and UVB.

Toothpaste- Use a little amount of fluoride free toothpaste for children under 2.

Baby powder- I admit I am guilty on this one, but after knowing it I stop using this one. This need to skip from using, just like auto exhaust and secondhand smoke the tiny airborne particles can damage baby's delicate and developing lungs.

We live and learn as Mother's everyday.
