Last night I received a Baby Shower invitation. My brother and his wife (T+R) are about to have their first baby and this has had me thinking for a while about what kind of baby products are out there. Are they safe? What are they made of? Are toys that are designed to be put in a child's mouth made out of harsh chemicals and plastics? How available are toys made from organic, chemical-free, sustainable or recycled products?
I realize that my philosophies and beliefs on life are on the far left of the spectrum fro
m T+R (and most of my family), so with the expectancy of this child it got me to think about a few things: How would I want to raise my child? What kinds of products am I willing to expose my newborn to? Am I willing to expose my newborn to BPA just to save a few bucks? Are those few dollars worth it to me? Besides Big Box retailers, what products are actually available for a young couple expecting their first child?
