Dear SafeMama: sterilizing baby products

With my first daughter, I sterilized her pacifiers in the microwave using Medela’s “microwave-safe” bags. If microwaving in plastic is no longer recommended due to leaching chemicals, how can I safely sanitize my soon-to-be next daughter’s (bpa-free) pacifiers? I am now at a loss to know what sterilization methods won’t leach any chemicals from both [...]

I just found out I’m pregnant with our second child. I’ve been trying to be more educated about toxins. I’ trying to cut out everything possible that’s plastic (BPA, phthalates, PVC), eliminating foods with HFCS where possible, I got organic HBA items, but what else should I be aware of during my pregnancy? Any advice [...]

I’m at your site daily, and trust your product reviews. I was hoping to get your thoughts or maybe some of your other reader thoughts on lotion. Like I said I read your reviews so I know you have already reviewed several products. However, my daughter is 9 months old and suffers from horrendously dry [...]

Recently I keep reading about MSG. Do you know if all the baby foods you can buy are without MSG or at least the organic ones? How do I know that there isn’t anything hiding behind some other listed ingredient? Thank you for your help! Oddly enough, I was just watching something about MSG on [...]

Dear SafeMama: Humidifier Edition

Hello, I’m looking for a warm-mist humidifier for my daughter’s room and am wondering if you know anything about them containing BPA. Some of the water resevoirs are hard, clear plastic and since the water is heated, I’m concerned about spewing BPA filled water into the air as she sleeps! Any suggestions? I’ve sat on [...]

I’m sure that you’ve noticed that Dear SafeMama kind of took an unexpected hiatus. With both of us ending up expecting our second children in the spring/summer, we’ve both been feeling a little hazy. The first trimester for me brought extreme exhaustion and fog. Poor Kathy, who was hot on my heels, not only had [...]

Q: I am curious what is the safest type of pots and pans to use? I was also wondering if there are any types of spoons, spatulas, etc. (other than metal that scratch your pots and pans) that are safe to use while cooking? Can you please help me? Teflon and non-stick surfaced cookware has [...]

Dear SafeMama: Tylenol and Melamine

Filed Under Dear SafeMama, melamine | Comments Off

Is there any product out there that is comparable to Children’s Tylenol that doesn’t contain artificial colors/flavors and high fructose corn syrup, which most likely is genetically modified. I haven’t been able to find anything that is an all natural form of pain medicine/fever reducer for children. Any help in the right direction would be [...]
