Baby
products are often manufactured without regard to the health and
safety of the babies using them. Even though we have theoretical
protections in place by government agencies, these safeguards are
frequently more protective of the industry than the consumer. The
tragic truth is that in some instances it may require many baby
deaths, injuries, or illnesses before significant public outcry
results in either the removal of the unsafe baby products from the
market or some type of change in the products to make them safer.
Baby
products need to be chosen carefully. Safety is of the utmost
importance in determining which baby products you allow into
your baby's environment. Babies are much more susceptible to
the effects of a toxic environment than adults. I began researching
the safety of baby products, along with children's natural health
and wellness, when I first became pregnant over 7 years ago.
After uncovering many potential threats to the health of babies
and children that are virtually unknown to the majority of parents,
I became determined to make this information available.
