Cleaning more than teething toys
I've learned quite a bit in the last four years that makes me incredibly thankful to God that my kids survived my ignorance. Maybe chemicals weren't as prevalent 25 years ago, and they definitely weren't 50 years ago. They are getting worse. B., I would be concerned about what you are using to wash with and the residuals still remaining in the washed item even with a double rinse. The danger lies not in what you see and hear but in the unseen - the chemicals that are ingested through taste, touch, and smell. It's truly a scary world today that we are raising the next generation in. I haven't even mentioned the preservatives in processed foods yet. Hopefully, at the very least, your little guy is on a good multi-vitamin that helps his developing immune system fight a lot of the bad stuff.
This is probably way more than you expected, but I'm trying to help teach young moms today about dangers where they least expect to find them.
Please watch the following 30-minute video - it's a real eye opener: Toxic Brew - http://www.theglobalsuccessteam.net/resources/wmv/toxic_B...
