Bamboo Nursing Pads by Bamboobino

Having a new baby around has certainly brought back some memories. Great ones, and memories of all the products I used with my first son before I knew much about anything. This time I have a chance to make some changes and use safer alternatives and try to “green” up the process of raising a [...]

We love Seventh Generation Products. I use their diapers when we have a need for disposables (which has happened with more frequency since baby number two has arrived). So we’re really excited about their Under The Sink makeover contest. What better way to get rid of all of the bad stuff under your sink? With [...]

Phthalates in pills? What’s next?

Just when you think you’ve got it covered in terms of avoiding phthalates, you find out there’s something else to worry about (seriously, is there anything that doesn’t have phthalates or BPA?). An article via the Daily Green reports of a new study that found over the counter tablets contain enough phthalates to increase your [...]

Review: Kinderville storage and dishware

We see tons of dishware here at SafeMama, and I get to the point where one dish is like any other dish and rarely am I impressed with a product. I mean, it’s dishware, right? You eat off of them, you drink out of them, end of story. As long as it’s free of toxic [...]

I saw this article floating around on Twitter and I thought it was interesting. Eden Foods, is currently the only company that uses BPA free cans for their beans. Because of this, we exclusively use only Eden’s beans in this house (and we go through a lot of them, making this an expensive, but well [...]

100 Percent Pure Kids

If you read our other site (which is sadly neglected since we’ve been pregnant and/or giving birth, sorry), you’ll know that we LOVE the 100% Pure line of products. For me, it’s an obsession, really. I love just about everything they make, so when I saw that they had a kids line, I was ecstatic. [...]

Dear SafeMama: Disposables edition

Dear SafeMama, How safe are the new Earth’s Best diapers/ new Huggies Pure and Natural diapers? We get these two questions a lot. I’m pretty much a devout Seventh Generation user when I do use disposables, because they work well for us (and lately, with a newborn, I’ve been using them more, just because getting [...]

Statia here, letting everyone know that Kathy had her baby this afternoon. Let’s all welcome Carter. A healthy 7lbs 9oz and 19 1/2 inches long via scheduled C-section. Everyone is doing great, though Mama is pretty sore, which is to be expected. He’s gorgeous of course, just like his big brother. Congrats Mama!

This will probably be my last post for a short time – baby comes on Monday so I’ll be laid up for a bit. But before I go, I wanted to post this last thing because I’ve gotten the question a few times and I had this own challenge myself. My 3 1/2 year old [...]

Elements Naturals Baby Wipes

As evident by our Baby Wipes Showdown we did a while ago, baby wipes can contain some pretty nasty and unpronounceable ingredients. For something you’re using daily on your baby and tossing into a landfill it’s great to be able to pick something a little less toxic and a little less tough on the earth. [...]
