Timely question...I was reading this article the other day...here is a snippet and the link if you want to read more: Lotions, powders may pose risks to infants Study shows babies vulnerable to hormone-disrupting chemical found in commonly used products Researchers in the United States have found phthalates, a hormone-disrupting chemical used in many plastics and personal care products, in every one of a group of 163 babies they tested. More than 80 per cent of the infants had at least seven different types of phthalates, a finding attributed to the widespread use of baby shampoos, skin lotions, and baby powders that contain the chemical. The researchers, who are publishing their results today in the journal Pediatrics, theorized that the children are absorbing the chemicals through their skin when parents use personal care products on them. It is not known what health risks, if any, these exposures pose, but previous research has found the chemicals are capable of altering reproductive hormone levels in young children exposed through their mother`s milk. One of the researchers who conducted the new study recommended that parents, as a precaution, try to reduce exposures by cutting down on the use of lotions and shampoos on babies. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20080204.wplastic04/BNStory/specialScienceandHealth/

  3. So one of my cousins once had a cocaine/meth/heroin problem. Her boyfriend who is also my cousin used to do the same things and he is in a gang. So now their son (completely normal and no problems) is breast feeding still at 1 year old. The mom smokes weed and has dropped so much weight she looks horrible. I heard from down the grape vine that her boyfriend is selling meth and heroin and i think this is why she is so skinny plus she is smoking weed. What would you do in this situation, i feel horrible for the baby!!

  6. We currently live in an apartment with a very large balcony (it`s more of a deck). We face east so we get a good amount of sun earlier in the day.

I want to do maybe one or two types of flowers and then some veggies. Also, we only have about 3-4 months of solid summer (New York). Thanks!!!
