It may sometimes feel like “all work and no play” for parents.
But for babies...it should be all play all day! Playtime for babies has been linked to positive developmental outcomes. Set your child up for success by protecting them from toys made with toxic chemicals!
Run - or Crawl - Away From These Toxic Chemicals!
A long day of play makes a baby’s cries go away! Stock up your toy room with toxic-free play items. Protect your baby’s future by making sure their toys are free from toxic chemicals.
Many plastic and silicone toys contain or are manufactured with harmful ingredients such as:
-
BPA: Linked to abnormal birth weight, infertility, and problems with brain development.
-
Phthalates: Have been shown to cause allergies, birth defects, and problems with brain development
-
BPS: BPA-alternative that may cause insulin resistance and irregular vascular function in children.
-
PFAS: May lead to later effects on the hormone system, immune system, liver, and kidneys.
-
Lead: Found to be most harmful to unborn babies and children
Fun shouldn’t be toxic. Cleanse the playroom of these toxic chemicals by avoiding plastic and low-quality silicone toys as much as possible.
