Health Benefits of Using Organic Bath and Body Products For Your Baby

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009
Elizabeth Ashe asked:


Pink or blue is what most people think of when they think of sweet, chubby babies. But you are thinking green. As your new baby enters the world, she is fresh, pure and untainted. You only want the best to surround her and the peace of mind that she is protected from harsh and unnecessary chemicals.

In years past, you would have had to make your own organic products for your baby. But following the popularity of organic food, organic baby products have found vast acceptance among attentive and purposeful parents. An array of Eco-friendly, organic skin care products including lotion, shampoo, soap and gifts, are now available for the conscientious parent.

Chemical Overload

Babies are exceptionally sensitive to the health risks inherent in pesticides and other chemicals. They eat and drink more than adults in relation to their size so their food must be chemical free. Even organic clothing is wise because of the high chemical content in cotton and synthetic fabrics. But skin care is of the utmost importance.

Since their skin is so new and soft, it absorbs chemicals, preservatives and harsh detergents easier and more quickly than an adult’s skin would. Even nationally branded products that are made for babies include large amounts of fragrances, detergents and preservatives, all which can irritate the skin and lungs, can cause skin reactions and are unnecessarily strong for children. And considering how often the baby puts her fingers in her mouth and you can also begin to see the danger of digestion.

Choosing Organic

With organic bath and body products specifically made for babies, you can feel confident that you are keeping your baby clean and healthy without subjecting her to harsh chemicals. All-natural baby skin care products use botanicals to accomplish the same purpose as chemicals, without the disturbing side effects.

Her hair will be just as clean when you use organic shampoo. He eyes and skin will be less irritated when you rinse away the shampoo. She will smell just as sweet when you use natural handmade soap, baby bath with natural ingredients and certified organic body care products. And her skin will be just as smooth when you utilize shea butter and organic body lotion. You can rest easy that her skin will not have a reaction and she will not be in any danger of ingesting residual chemicals as she ***** her fingers and toes.

Natural skin care products also addresses sensitive skin issues. The longer she avoids products that trigger sensitive skin irritations, she stronger and more resilient her skin will be. There is no need to try endless products, trying to determine the trigger for her sensitive issue. Instead choose purely organic and avoid sensitivity issues entirely.

Conclusion

Organic skin care products do more than provide peace of mind. You have given her a healthy start during her formative years. As your toddler grows, you can forgo worrying if she accidentally guzzles the bottle of shampoo or chews on the bar of soap. You have set the stage for a life-long use of natural, safe and chemical free pro

5 Steps To An Organic Baby Nursery

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009
Sheila Baskerville asked:


With the recent focus on green living and organic products, many parents have become interested in creating non-toxic, natural living spaces for their children. One room of particular concern is the baby nursery. Since babies are still developing, their living environment is very important. Creating an eco-friendly or organic baby nursery is a smart move not only for your baby, but for your family and the environment as well.

Expecting a baby is such an exciting time! With happy anticipation, the decorating frenzy begins. Bedding and furniture are purchased, walls are painted and new floors may be installed. It\’s natural to want everything in the baby nursery to be new and beautiful for your precious newborn.

But new and beautiful doesn\’t necessarily mean safe. Conventional furniture, paints and fabrics may have chemicals and toxins that can be unhealthy for your baby. Luckily, stores are offering more eco-friendly options for furniture, wall coverings, floorings, and organic baby bedding. These natural, organic baby products are typically produced without the use of harmful chemicals and thus contribute to a healthier nursery environment.

Here are five smart purchases to make when creating your organic baby nursery.

A Natural Wood Crib: Your baby will spend a lot of time sleeping so you want a crib that is non-toxic. Traditional wood cribs may have harmful stains or finishes while furniture made from pressed wood may contain adhesives that can also irritate your baby. Consider purchasing a sustainable natural wood crib with a non-toxic finish. An Organic Crib

Mattress: Your baby\’s actual sleeping surface is just as important as the crib. Conventional mattresses may contain materials and toxins that may be released into the air while your baby sleeps. To promote your baby\’s health and safety, look for organic crib mattresses that are made from certified-organic materials and fabrics.

Organic Crib Bedding: Many people are unaware that conventionally-grown cotton is one of the most heavily-sprayed crops in the world. To ensure that your baby\’s sensitive skin is not exposed to toxins in regular cotton bedding, consider organic baby bedding made from natural, organic fabrics and eco-friendly dyes.

Eco-friendly Carpet and Flooring: Traditional carpets typically contain known allergens such as adhesives, stain protectors and flame retardants. To avoid bringing these allergens into your baby\’s room, look for healthier alternatives such as eco-friendly hardwoods, bamboo and cork floorings or rugs made of natural fibers.

Eco-friendly Paint: Ever notice that strong smell in the air when painting? Many traditional paints emit toxins called volatile organic compounds which can be hazardous to your family\’s health. Look for low-voc, zero-voc or milk-based paints made of natural non-toxic elements.

Decorating your baby\’s room can be an enjoyable way to prepare for his or her arrival. With careful consideration to these key design elements, your baby\’s nursery will be the healthy, nurturing environment that you desire.

Organic Baby Products - Skin Care

Friday, April 17th, 2009
Molly Ridenhour asked:


It has been said that there is nothing quite so soft as a baby’s skin. New parents love to soothe and protect their baby’s sensitive skin by smoothing on creme, lotions and powders to stop the symptoms of diaper rash as well as other irritations. The use of organic baby products helps you, as a parent, be sure that you are not using products that contain harmful ingredients. Organic baby products contain only natural ingredients with no chemicals or irritants to affect the sensitive skin of your infant. These products offer gentle protection and soothing action with no dangerous chemicals included.



Chemical free production

Organic baby products are soft and comfortable on baby’s skin because the fiber is specially grown to be free from pesticides and chemical treatments. At present, it is hard to determine precisely what long term effects that such substances have on humans, birds and animals that come in contact with the chemicals. Using organic baby products means you never have to worry about the chemicals that were used because there were none. These garments, cremes and lotions are not going to irritate the baby’s skin or result in unwanted irritants being drawn into the baby’s lungs or mouth.

No Carcinogens

There is no way that a responsible parent will deliberately put products that contain carcinogens on the sensitive skin of their baby. It is unfortunately true, though, that sometimes these dangerous ingredients are hidden from the casual observer. Even a veteran label reader may not be fully aware of the long term effect some ingredients will have on the skin of the baby. However, by committing yourself to organic baby products only you avoid the issue of trying to determine what is lethal and what is merely dangerous. Organic baby products are always safe and healthy.

Skin protection

Using organic baby products on your baby’s delicate skin is important. You need skin care for the baby to protect against wetness and germs that are a part of the environment, no matter how carefully you clean and disinfect the surroundings of the baby. The key in organic baby products is that they clean and protect without the harshness and even dangerous effects of the traditional baby care products. Another positive result of the switch to organic baby products is to eliminate the use of some of the fragrances that are in many standard baby products. Most people do not realize that a substantial number of these fragrances will cause allergic reactions on baby’s skin.

Hypoallergenic products

Using organic baby products, particularly those that are hypoallergenic means you are reducing the number of harmful substances that come in contact with the delicate skin of the baby. The earlier that the baby is exposed to such substances, the more likely he or she is to develop allergic reactions to the substance. These potentially dangerous substances run the gamut from fragrances to detergents and wetting agents in the laundry products and bath products. It is far better to use organic baby products and avoid the difficulty of reading labels.
