A Healthy Start for Your Baby
There could be as many as two thousand chemicals added to your baby’s favorite blanket and it’s possible that these toxins could jeopardize your baby’s health. The textile industry uses thousands of different chemicals during conventional manufacturing of baby clothing and bedding products. These chemicals can be absorbed through your baby’s skin and possibly causing skin irritations, rashes or more serious skin and health conditions. Give your precious baby the best possible beginning in life by providing natural or organic food, clothing, toys and bedding.

10 Tips on Setting up your New Baby’s Nursery.
Tuesday, August 18th, 2009 | tips | No Comments
Every new mother wants a beautifully decorated custom nursery for her newborn to come home to. Decorating a nursery for your new baby is fun but it can also be stressful. Follow these 10 tips to help you get started!
1. Set up a crib. Make sure the crib meets safety standards - bars should not be wider than 2 3/8 inches apart and there should be no gaps between the mattress and the frame. Look for a crib with rails that you can lower, so you can pick up the baby easily.
2. Get a mattress and linens for the crib. Make sure the mattress is firm and fits the crib snugly.
3. Consider purchasing a bassinet for newborns, who often like the cozy fit. A cradle or bassinet is also nice for keeping in your room the first month or so.
4. Set up a changing table with a pad cover. Make sure the changing table has a safety belt and a guardrail to protect your baby. Purchase a couple of waterproof pads to place on top of the changing pad for easy clean up of accidents. This way you don’t have to wash the entire changing table cover.
5. Stock the changing table with clean diapers, wipes, baby powder and baby creams within easy reach. Keep a lidded garbage can and a laundry hamper close to the changing table for easy access.
6. Include a soft night-light or dim lamp in the nursery. Bright lights can leave baby wide-awake after midnight feedings and changing’s.
7. Hang a mobile over the crib to keep baby stimulated. Think about purchasing a cd player to play soothing music at naptime or bed time.
8. Decorate the nursery with favorite photos, quilts, stuffed animals (outside of the crib) and special family mementos. Adding baby’s name to a wall with cuttout letters is also a cute personalized touch!
9. Stock up on baby hangers for baby clothes. You will be amazed at how many clothes your baby will have. You can also purchase sized dividers. Many of the clothes you will receive will be for future use. This way you can divide them easily.
10. Consider a glider as a worthwhile investment for the nursery. A glider is safer than a rocking chair because it doesn’t have runners, which can pose a hazard to youngsters once they begin to crawl. Even after baby outgrows the nursery, a glider will be useful for bedtime readings.

Pregnancy do’s and don’ts. What can you have and what should you avoid.
Friday, June 12th, 2009 | tips | No Comments
Things to Avoid
Over-the-counter medications –Limit these to remedies considered safe throughout pregnancy, including the pain reliever acetaminophen (Tylenol), antihistamines like Claritin, Zyrtec and Allegra, many antacids and prescribed narcotic pain relievers. Pain relievers like aspirin and those containing ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, etc.), and the diarrhea medicine Pepto Bismol should be avoided because of their link to birth defects. Always check with your doctor before taking any medicine to be sure that it’s safe for you.
Alcoholic beverages, cigarettes and illegal drugs – The use of any of these during pregnancy has been linked to premature birth, low birth weight and serious birth defects. No amount has been determined as safe. Anyways most of these aren’t good for you either!
Cat litter –Who wants to do this anyway? Cat littler can contain a parasite called Toxoplasmosis gondii, which causes Toxoplasmosis, a disease that can be fatal to your fetus. This is one of pregnancy’s perks! Have your husband change your cat’s litter box; if you must do it, wash your hands thoroughly and carefully after changing the box yourself.
Limit
Hair dyes – Studies have not shown hair dyes to be harmful to a fetus, but the FDA recommends being careful if you’re pregnant. Researchers have found that low levels of the dye can be absorbed into the skin and excreted into the urine. Limit your use of hair dye to after your first trimester, and use techniques that shorten your exposure to the dye.
Caffeine – Limit your intake to less than 300 milligrams a day (about two cups of coffee). The FDA has deemed moderate caffeine use as safe. But look into the amount of caffeine in your favorite beverages and foods; it can vary. One 8-ounce cup of coffee can contain anywhere from 57 to 350 milligrams; an 8-ounce cup of tea, up to 110 milligrams; a 12-ounce can of cola, up to 100 milligrams; a chocolate bar, about 30 milligrams; and a single espresso or cappuccino, about 100 milligrams. So keep your sanity and hit Starbucks, just order a tall!
Soft cheeses – Limit your intake to soft domestic cheeses made with pasteurized milk. Otherwise, avoid cheeses such as brie, camembert, Roquefort, feta, gorgonzola, as well as Mexican style queso blanco and queso fresco. These may contain the Listeria bacteria, which can cause miscarriage.
Certain large fish – Shark, swordfish, tilefish and king mackerel are all known to contain high levels of methyl mercury (thanks to industrial pollution in ponds, lakes and oceans). Mercury can damage the nervous system, especially in children and unborn babies. Visit the EPA’s Web site (www.epa.gov/ost/fish) for more information on risky seafood in different regions of the country.
Raw or undercooked meat, fish, eggs, and unpasteurized milk– These foods can carry bacteria such as salmonella and E. coli, which can make you sick and harm your fetus. Don’t eat any eggs with a runny yolk, and cook beef to at least 160º F.
Saunas and hot tubs – Studies have linked elevated body temperatures (102º F) to neural tube defects and miscarriages. (Also, be cautious with electric blankets, particularly during the first trimester, because of elevated body temperature.)
Continue
Exercise – Thirty minutes per day will help you maintain weight, improve your fitness and reduce your stress. But steer clear of hockey, soccer and basketball (which have an abdominal trauma risk); skiing, horseback riding and gymnastics (which have a falling risk), and scuba diving (which has a decompression syndrome risk). Good choices include walking, swimming, yoga and pregnancy exercise classes. Contact your doctor if you experience dizziness, pain, contractions or vaginal bleeding during or after exercise.
Massage – It’s known to reduce pain during labor. And one recent study found that pregnant women who had a massage two times per week for five weeks experienced lower anxiety and stress levels, less back pain and better sleep patterns. I think the Dr. should make this mandatory! Don’t you???
Air Travel – Flying is generally safe during pregnancy, although some physicians caution against doing it during your last month of pregnancy (if you went into labor, you probably wouldn’t have access to medical care). Just keep well-hydrated and walk around the cabin every one or two hours to avoid any potential blood clotting.
Sexual intercourse – It’s perfectly safe at any time during pregnancy. Some have said that toward the due date that it can even induce labor??? Who Knows!
