We get a lot of questions about toothpaste and fluoride and “my Dentist says my son needs fluoride drops”  here and I am still kind of wishy washy about fluoride.  Especially after having read the great articles on SAFBaby regarding Fluoride… it really makes you wonder whether it’s the best thing.  Whether you are anti [...]

Question: Do you know the identity of the soft, non-skid “rubbery” parts that are often included on Sassy or Munchkin products? These seem a lot like PVC to me, but might be silicone. I know they are BPA free and SAY they are PVC free, but then what exactly is the material and is it safe? [...]

With my new addition to the family I’ve been reconsidering a lot of things I used the first time around, including our baby tub.  I had a basic blue baby tub with the infant sling attachment and my son always screamed through baths as a little baby.  Only did he start liking being bathed when I [...]

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 [...]

Q: Do you know of any baby/wading pools that are safe from phthalates/pvc/bpa? I really want to get one for play at home with my 9 month old but am concerned they will leach chemicals. Thanks. I get this question a lot and really wish I had a better answer.  Hopefully in the next few [...]

I have friends and family who have been using Bumkins SuperBibs for years.  Only until I won a cool giveaway from Bumkins did I get the chance to try them out.  Bumkins bibs are made in the USA  with a soft waterproof fabric.  They are in fact soft like they claim and have a “catcher” [...]

I recently got my hands on all of the new Boon Bath Toys for my son.  Our bath toy collection had drastically dwindled last year when I learned about PVC and Phthalates and promptly pitched everything we had.  Bye bye bath squirties.  Then, light shone down on me when I entered a giveaway at The [...]

We got an email from a reader last week asking about rain gear.  I thought writing something up about it now at the beginning of Spring would be an appropriate time.  Traditionally, raincoats and hats are made with a PVC outer shell.   We try to avoid PVC for a multitude of reasons. Dioxins: PVC or [...]

Anyone who’s traveled or gone out to eat with children knows that keeping them entertained is more than a remedial challenge. You have to come armed with a bag full of items to keep them busy while you wait for food.  It’s not easy!  On a shopping trip I stumbled on a great idea from [...]
