Alternative Teether: Camden Rose Maple Wood

Posted on: Mar 30, 2008

Filed Under Green Mama | 1 Comment

We’ve already determined that there are in fact safe, affordable teethers made without BPA, PVC and phthalates on the market.

I first saw this reported over at ReallyNatural.com that the food company Eden Foods does not line their canned goods with coatings that contain BPA. Instead they’ve changed their packaging to be more environmentally friendly and BPA free materials. Eden Organic Beans are packed in lead free tin covered steel cans coated with a baked [...]

Even though a lot of parents are taking measure’s into their own hands by not buying toys containing PVC and phthalates, this is a time of change and I see it boiling in the wings. Already, California is instituting a ban on phthalates due to take effect next year. Next state in the spotlight is [...]

Summer is going to be here before we know it and for those of us in the south, nice weather and even some heat has reared it’s head. Warm weather means ice pops. This isn’t high on the reduce, reuse, recycle list but… I need some ice pop molds and I just can’t bring myself [...]

Product Review Series: Erba Organics

I ran across this line of baby care in the “natural” product aisle at my local Target. It’s safe to say I’ve got a ton of products but when I saw the red price reduction sticker on some Erba Organics Baby Shampoo and a bottle of body wash for $2.98 each as opposed to the [...]

And honestly, I try incredibly hard not to make this website feel “alarmist” and “We’re all gonna diiiiiieeee” in it’s tone but this is one of [...]

I recently bought a couple of the Adiri Natural Nursers. First, I wanted to get away from the other plastic bottles we have and go BPA-free. Secondly, I figured that a breast-like nipple would be good for keeping breast feeding going. My son is about to hit 4 months and has only used a bottle [...]
