Things that should Be Organic for Baby and Toddlers

Things That Should Be Organic Baby

The best way to understand what it means to go organic for babies is to understand the ways in which we can introduce toxins and chemicals into our babies’ lifestyles. I have already covered these areas so from here, we can then establish the small changes we can make to eliminate these pathways for toxins and chemicals to enter our baby’s environment and bodies.

• Food – Making organic and safe choices for the food fed to babies
  • Baby Formula and food for the different stages and ages of babies and toddlers is widely available in organic and chemical free products
• Air – The selection of organic products which do not release harmful chemicals into the air
  • Cleaning products: release many chemicals into the air throughout your home
  • Miscellaneous Sprays
  • Air Deodorizers: Fill the air with a scent made of chemicals. Natural organic scents made from nature are non-toxic and harmless, though the high concentration of natural ingredients may still cause allergies
  • Paints: paints release toxins and chemicals in the air. Organic paints are available in stunning colours which do not leach such chemicals
• Skin Absorption – products absorbed by the skin are rampantly used in the early years of a children.
  • Moisturizers
  • Nappy Creams
  • Baby Wipes
  • Shampoo
  • Bath Wash
  • Soap
• Touch
  • Garden products: chemicals that are used to kill or deter insects and plant diseases leach into the soil or stay on top. These are then ingested by exploring babies and youngsters
  • Cleaning products: as well as being breathed in, the chemicals from cleaning products settle on surfaces that babies touch with their hands before placing them in their mouths
  • Toys: Babies and toddlers play with toys and then their fingers are placed inside their mouths. Paints, varnishes, treated cotton and plastics for example can contain toxins and chemicals
  • Clothing: Chemicals used in the production of clothing is absorbed into the skin and can also be the trigger for allergies

What Makes A Product Organic?

The definition of a product being truly organic can be quite strict in terms of all of the processes that are involved in the production of a being kind to the land, the environment and people. It is however these strict definitions which result in products that we can be confident in being chemical and toxin free, derived from the environment in its most natural form.

It is possible to use products that do not satisfy the definition of being “truly” organic” but still be free of the toxins and chemicals which are harmful to our children.
