Here are some of my tips for creating a safe, natural, and healthy environment for baby:
- Use natural household cleaners from concentrate -- they are easy on your wallet, safe for baby, and last much longer than conventional cleaners.
- Learn which brands of toys are eco-friendly and made without lead, PVC, BPA, and Phthalates. Shop online where you can comparison shop, saving time and money.
- Eat organic whenever possible, especially with the most pesticide-laden foods like dairy and produce. Organic foods offer superior nutritional quality and the avoidance of toxins.
- You don't have to pay more to get more. There are great deals to be found on organic and eco-friendly products for baby.
