I want my kids to live a healthy and happy life. In our home we make an effort to reduce and recycle. We eat healthy organic foods and care about the products we use. When it comes to my baby I want her to have the very best. Their diapers and wipes don’t contain any harsh chemicals so I can feel good when using them with our baby. Non-chlorine diapers and fragrance free wipes fit into our healthy lifestyle.
Healthy Child Healthy World offers plenty of simple, affordable actions families can take daily at home to decrease chemical exposure. These small steps add up!
5 Easy Steps To Live Healthier At Home With Baby:
- Take off your shoes at the door: 85 percent of the dirt in our homes is tracked inside on the bottom of our shoes. It’s not just dirt, but toxins like lead, pesticides, gasoline residue and more. Keep your home safer by taking off your shoes. It’s the public health equivalent of washing your hands.
- Buy safer body care: Children are exposed to an average of 27 care product ingredients on a daily basis that have not been found safe for developing bodies. Protect your family’s health by avoiding products that ingredients like parabens, synthetic fragrances, triclosan and more. For a list of the most toxic offenders, download our free eBook, “Easy Steps to a Healthy & Safe Nursery” at Healthychild.org/resource-center.
- Open a window: People spend about 90 percent of their time inside, but indoor air is typically far more polluted than outside. So, open those windows! Even a few minutes a day can improve indoor air quality.
- Eat more whole foods: Processed foods may be convenient, but they’re also loaded with sweeteners, artificial flavors and colorings, and synthetic preservatives. These lack nutrients and many are also linked to health issues like ADHD and even cancer. Reduce by eating more whole foods.
- Ban the can: Bisphenol-A (BPA), a hormone disruptor that has been linked to everything from obesity to cancer, is in the plastic resin that lines most canned goods—from soups to sodas. Avoiding canned food for significantly lowers exposure. Look for foods packaged in glass or eat fresh, dried, and frozen options.

I had major skin problems and just switched to Seventh Generation products!
I love knowing there are no chemicals being used in these products that will harm my baby. Very healthy line of products.
I can’t believe I’ve never tried this brand of product before! I’d love to try the baby wipes on my grandson’s skin.
