Natural Baby Care Products

Lately I have been thinking more about natural products. I have been using natural products on my son, with the exception of using Baby Aquaphor to heal/prevent diaper rash. I tried Burt's Bees diaper rash cream and Bordeaux's Butt Paste All Natural. Both of those products were OK, but did not work well with my baby. I like the tea tree lavender wash from California Baby that I have been using and may try the California Baby diaper rash cream next.

I do not want to use any products on my baby that contain unnatural chemicals that may cause harm such as cancer or infertility. I have done a little research on phthalates, parabens, and petroleum products. The research I have looked at suggests there may be some links with these chemicals and cancer and damage to the endocrine system. Although, I also came across some research that said phthalates were perfectly safe. When it comes to my child, I would rather not take any chances. I want him to be as healthy and happy as possible throughout his life!

A girlfriend of mine mentioned something about dying hair and breastfeeding, which got me thinking about products I use on myself that may be getting into my bloodstream and breast milk. If I am using natural products on my baby, maybe I should be using them for myself and making sure my husband is also healthy and using natural products. I am not so sure that I will go without dying my hair, or not wearing make up, but I think I will start phasing out the soap and lotions that contain these products. I don't want to waste the products we have spent money on, but when we run out I will look for organic/natural products. this website looks like it may be helpful in finding natural, chemical free products: safemama.
