"safe" baby stuff

Thanks for this story - I always thought it was true but since I didn't have kids I never really checked it out. Thanks,  now I know better and when I buy gifts for my friends who have babies, I'll be smarter. I love the website info at the end and that baby...what a cutie.

This is great. I hope your

This is great. I hope your book will help people. When I first found out about unsafe baby products - it changed my life! I researched safer toys, soaps, cosmetics, etc and was happy to find safer alternatives, but still frustrated that other products were being sold and consumed everyday. I had been feeding my baby homemade, organic baby food with a lead spoon! So now, I educate women about the toxic chemicals in cleaning products and I've started my own line on completely safe, organic cleaning products.

A gift for my newest granddaughter

Thanks for helping me to know where to look as I searched for a safe toy for my newest granddaughter's first Christmas. I had been struggling with what to get, knowing that so many toys are now toxic and dangerous. I was also able to email our daughter in law and son to tell them where they also can look for toys. Little Olivia was born in a birthing center with no medications involved. I know her parents will especially appreciate taking care with gifts for her.
