i’m trying to make a difference in my grandson’s health with phthalate free products. there are many house hold items with phthalates in them. check out green peace’s site for a huge list.
zoebonline, and bornfree has baby bottles phthalate free. gerber playtex nurser, and bags are phthalate free also.

Should they chuck the baby shampoo they’ve always used? Switch to phthalate-free products? … What’s the alternative to using these baby products? …

My hands have been itchy and red and get little blisters. At first I thought it was eczema but that cream did not seem to work. I have stopped using all creams and fancy soaps. The only thing I can think of is the baby wipes, bu that seems unlikely. Has anyone else had this happen?

Currently I am using Johnson’s baby lotion (for adults also), it’s supposed to make your skin soft but my skin was a lot softer when I used Vaseline. Also my skin has started to become extremely dry, this never happened when I used Vaseline. However Vaseline does not have a nice smell, Johnson’s baby lotion smells really nice and it pulls into your clothes so it stays there, it works better than any spray/deodorant/perfume. Johnson’s baby lotion doesn’t smell like babyish, but it smells nice and it makes me smell nice.
I was wondering if there is a product out there that is really good for my skin and makes it soft as well as keeps me smelling nice all day long. If so, can you recommend anything and I don’t want it to be too pricey.
Thanks

Well, I washed down there.
For the past couple weeks I’ve been using Johnson’s baby wash, and it was fine.
But today I used a scented body wash, and it stung badly.
It hurt to pee afterwards as well.
Is it because of the perfume in the soap?

when my baby was taking a bath, he grabed the soap thing and it came off along with a chunk of tile. How do I fix this whole in the wall. (What suplies do I need to do this). Is there anything I should put in between the walls to support the soap holder thing?

I’m 19 weeks pregnant and was just wondering. I’ve heard the question before, but never got around to the answer.

I have tried HC cream, changed detergents, soaps, natural lotions … she is nursing…is there anything i can change to avoid this?

I just recently had a baby and got some stretch marks from being pumped with fluid. I was wondering what the best skin firming lotion is and if there is anything that will help fade the stretch marks faster.

Ok I was once told at work by many co-workers that I smelled bad. Some made it obvious by using gestures, you know pinching their noses behind my back etc. But one of my co-workers actually said something really nasty to my face. Her exact words were, “Well at least I don’t smell like butt!!” And then she started laughing and actually just about everyone in the restaurant (where I worked at the time) did too, including my manager. Well needless to say I was really embarassed and I wished the ground would have just opened up and swallowed me right then and there. I just looked down and kept doing my job. As soon as I got off work I went home took a shower and cried and then I went straight to the store and bought all sorts of soaps, deodorants and body powders. I was already a very hygenic person tho before I got these rude comments and gestures so I couldn’t understand it. After this incident tho I started taking several showers a day and applying extra deodorant etc but..

I just want to clean up this used leather couch I just bought but everything I’ve read says most things will ruin real leather (baby wipes, dish soap, oil based cleaners, etc.) I’ve read about expensive cleaners available online but, does anyone have advice about something I might already have at home or something I can buy from a grocery store or maybe Target, Walmart,etc? Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thank You
