Hormone disrupting Bisphenol-A in baby bottles, toxic chemicals in sunscreen and baby lotions, lead in toys... If you're a parent, you may be wondering when the bad news will end. This is why Organic Baby Resource, an informational website, was launched. The site's mission is to empower parents with the information they need to find healthier alternatives to conventional baby products.
Organic Baby Resource highlights the benefits of choosing organic baby products such as food, skin care, clothing, bedding, diapering and toys. Recognizing that purchasing organic products in each of these areas may be overwhelming, the website's publisher helps new moms and dads go organic at a pace that is practical for them.
"As a new mom I wanted to know more about products that didn't have harmful chemicals in them. During my search I discovered that you can cut out a lot of the chemicals and make organic choices on any budget ," said Erika Jones, the site's founder.
Jones' goal in creating the website is to help parents make sense of the marketing buzz surrounding terms like "organic" and "natural." With organics making up the fastest growing sector of the food and clothing industries, determining which manufacturers are truly selling safe products can be tricky.
"A fancy label and a premium price, doesn't necessarily mean the product is free of toxic ingredients that could harm your baby's developing immune system," said Jones. "You have to read and understand the labels before you use any new product."
In addition to articles about organics, the site's visitors will find a monthly newsletter, "Organic Baby News," and green parenting tips to help them reduce their carbon footprint on the planet. The site also features product reviews and invites readers to contribute their experiences with organic baby products.
"How I wish there had been a resource like Organic Baby Resource when my son was born! It's a jungle of chemicals out there....so I was thrilled to be able to forward this website to my niece Megean so that she could have all the information she needs to protect her beautiful newborn son, Currin!" said Beth Nielsen Chapman (www.bethnielsenchapman.com)
