It makes you think what people did 200 years ago. </p>baby boyWed, 21 May 2008 12:40:56 -0000http://blog.carrieanddanielle.com/post/34927952#comment-480752<p>I love this list and will pass it on. IT is exactly what we did for our child - by default because it just makes sense.</p><p>I have a few things I would like to add regarding another thing babies don't need: BPA, and an alternative to products containing this yucky petrol-based plastic.<br>This message is part info-bit and part shameless plug for my store, Free Market Organics, <br><a href="http://www.freemarketorganics.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://www.freemarketorganics.com">http://www.freemarketorgani...</a><br>which was primarily started to offer people a safe place to shop where they needn't read labels or stress out. Everything has been researched and screened beyond the FDA's wildest dreams.</p><p>First off, I have read that Eden Foods and Trader Joe's no longer line their cans with BPA. While it is ofcourse better to source your food locally and fresh and freeze or can it, once in a while we like to save a little time so there are two brand options. If you would like to find a local farm or coop in your area that can offer your local organic produce check out Local Harvest:<br><a href="http://www.localharvest.org/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://www.localharvest.org/">http://www.localharvest.org/</a></p><p>Secondly, I care deeply about all of this stuff and have heavily researched BPA. I even called the scientist who discovered the issues with the chemical 10 years ago for advice. This is why I openned Free Market Organics: to open a one stop shop for people wanting to buy the safest goods on the market that sit closest to their skin and food.<br>we carry all glass food storage containers:<br><a href="http://freemarketorganics.com/glfost.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://freemarketorganics.com/glfost.html">http://freemarketorganics.c...</a><br>glass baby bottles:<br><a href="http://freemarketorganics.com/weekitchen.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://freemarketorganics.com/weekitchen.html">http://freemarketorganics.c...</a><br>stainless steel water bottles and sippy's:<br><a href="http://freemarketorganics.com/togo.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://freemarketorganics.com/togo.html">http://freemarketorganics.c...</a><br>organic bamboo utensils and prepware:<br><a href="http://freemarketorganics.com/shopkitchen.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://freemarketorganics.com/shopkitchen.html">http://freemarketorganics.c...</a><br>petroleum-free skin care screened by the Cosmetic Safety Database:<br><a href="http://freemarketorganics.com/shopbody.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://freemarketorganics.com/shopbody.html">http://freemarketorganics.c...</a><br>certified organic clothing, undergarments and essentials from newborn on up to mom and dad:<br><a href="http://freemarketorganics.com/freeshop.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://freemarketorganics.com/freeshop.html">http://freemarketorganics.c...</a></p><p>Lastly, avoid any water bottle or sippy that is lined with secret ingredients. Like Sigg- is lined with Epoxy. One ingredient in epoxy is Bisphenol A. They won't tell you this but they will tell you they test for leaching BPA, but they don't test for it properly. IF they did, I'd be carrying their bottle and geting rico with everyone else.</p><p>Best wishes to you and all of your families!</p><p>Amelia Royko Maurer<br>Free Market Organics<br><a href="http://www.freemarketorganics.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://www.freemarketorganics.com">http://www.freemarketorgani...</a></p><p></p>Amelia Royko MaurerFri, 16 May 2008 18:58:19 -0000http://blog.carrieanddanielle.com/post/34927952#comment-476516<p>The warmth of Mother's arms, the nourishment from her breasts, and dry pants!</p>PollyFri, 16 May 2008 07:47:52 -0000
