In 2010 Dr. Christoper Exley, Professor in Bioinorganic Chemistry, and his team at Keele University examined 16 branded, ready-made and powdered milks for infants and found concentrations of aluminum were up to 40 times higher than are present in breast milk and several times higher than are allowed in drinking water. Over a year after [...]
Last July we posted an article by Jamey Lacy-July titled, “Is Silicone In Baby Products And Bakeware Really Safe?” It is a very informative article addressing the astonishing numbers of toxins that hide in silicone baby products and bakeware. We also received lots of questions around the safety of stainless steel and aluminum cookware from [...]

Did you know that food companies can NOT claim to be “lead-free?” In other words, there has been such an increase in contamination of our environment that lead is now in our water and food supply to some degree. “Eat as clean as possible, at all times” says Dr. Murray Clarke, SAFbaby’s Health Expert. Dr. [...]

Rice cereals are a very common first food for our babies. I recall feeding my little babe organic rice cereal (wow, 4 years ago now!) but at that time never questioned something such as arsenic finding it’s way into her precious body at mealtime. But now consumers are finding that rice (organic or non-organic) can [...]
It is quite frustrating to find lead-free, RoHS compliant Christmas lights in the United States. The RoHS symbol aims to restrict certain dangerous substances commonly used in electronic and electronic equipment. This symbol bans the placing (in the European Union market) of new electrical and electronic equipment containing more than agreed levels of lead, cadmium, [...]
We have been receiving some very important emails and comments from our readers. Thank you! One of the common threads that weave the quilt of letters we get from mamas are letters that show our burning desire to do the best we can, and at the same time an empty feeling that maybe we can’t [...]

And because almost one million children in the USA suffer from some form of lead poisoning, we believe that it is important for parents and caregivers to have some knowledge of the teachings of National Lead Poisoning Week.

It’s upsetting to know that the toxic chemicals used in stain-resistant children’s fabrics, pizza boxes, fast food containers, inks, nonstick cookware and many other products (being used on and around our children) are used without being safety tested. We are happy to promote the “I am Not a guinea Pig” campaign by the Environmental Defense [...]
Lead is a serious toxin that surrounds our children in ways we don’t normally recognize. We are reposting this article with permissions from on of the “Lead Ladies” and hope it brings light to the serious nature of lead. We were so surprised to learn how easily this toxin can absorb into our bodies just [...]
We put a lot of trust into ORGANIC products and think they are automatically safe because they are CERTIFIED ORGANIC. Lead seems to be everywhere, including in fruit juices and packaged fruits. Joanna Cerazy, co-author of Lead Babies shares with us the latest ‘LEAD’ news: On June 9, 2010 the Environmental Law Foundation, a non-profit [...]
When I had my baby bath time was fun, but was time consuming and sometimes could be a chore since I usually got into the full size tub with my little infant. I thought having her close to me would make her feel safe, which I’m sure did somewhat, but look at this: Tummy Tub®, [...]

When my daughter was an infant she did not like taking baths and we always had to rush through it – it wasn’t pleasant for both of us, including my back. I also found out later, that the tub I’ve been using was made of toxic PVC, like practically all bath tubs on the market [...]
Last year CNN released a report on the toxic dangers of Christmas Lights, and what they have found is that analysis of four common brands of lights have levels of lead that experts say are high enough to be dangerous to children. Yes, DANGEROUS to children. The lab ran a standard procedure “wipe test” to [...]
I remember last Christmas. My baby girl was way more into the wrapping paper and the boxes than she was any of her gifts. And I had a blast sticking bows on her head, and giving her a gypsy-like headband of ribbon. Oh, did we get some great photos of that ‘first Christmas’. Last year [...]
