Lafe's Natural Bodycare Introduces New Line of Baby Products

Wednesday August 20, 12:00 pm ET
Baby shampoo and bodywash, massage oil, baby lotion and mother-to-be deodorant available in stores this week, packaged in 'baby-safe plastic' free of harmful estrogenic activity
AUSTIN, Texas, Aug. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Lafe's Natural Bodycare announces an industry first today, as the company releases its new line of Lafe's Organic Baby products, available in stores this week.

Not only are the products in the line certified organic by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, earning the USDA's prestigious green seal indicating the ingredients are 95 percent certified organic, but they are also packaged in what Lafe's is terming "baby-safe plastic," free of harmful estrogenic activity (EA) chemicals that trigger endocrine disruption.

Lafe's Organic Baby will also be introducing sunscreen, diaper cream, and baby wipes later this year.

Larson said, "I started this company in the mid-1990s in order to fight the effects of harmful chemicals that many body care products -- particularly deodorants -- were having on people. I'm convinced there's a connection between disease and the toxic chemicals found in everyday personal care products."

Citing the alarming rise of infertility in young couples, and concerns around the impact of EA chemicals such as Bisphenol A (BPA) and phthalates on children's hormonal functions, Founder and CEO Lafe Larson says concerned parents will finally have a worry-free choice for baby care products.

He added, "Now we understand that what's in the packaging is as important as what is in the product. Researchers have shown that chemicals leeching from everyday plastic bottles can have alarming long-term health effects on babies. We're adopting a higher standard in product packaging for our baby products in order to provide parents with a safer option."

Best organic baby slings

Last updated: 26 June 2008 by Caramel Quin

Prams are a relatively recent invention, dating back to Victorian times. But before then -- and for millennia -- babies were carried in arms or in slings. Images of children being carried in slings can even be seen in ancient Egyptian artwork. A parenting tool that old has to have something good going for it.

The renaissance of slings in the West started in the 1960s and was boosted in the 1970s by The Continuum Concept, Jean Liedloff's book about her time in the South American jungle. She found that baby-carrying and other ancient ways of child-rearing were turning out children who were happier, more confident and lower maintenance than the brats being raised in her native US.

This led to the Attachment Parenting movement, which proposes baby-carrying, co-sleeping and breastfeeding as key ways to develop a strong bond between baby and parent. Far from being overly child-centric, Attachment Parenting suggest that in their early months you (or a friend or family member) should pretty much throw your baby in a sling and get on with your daily life. The theory is that, when they're old enough to crawl, they will be so secure in their attachment to you that they will crawl off confidently, scarcely looking back.

Whether you believe the philosophy or not, there's no doubt that newborns seem to prefer the womb-like closeness and security of a sling to a buggy. In fact, they'll tend to sleep for ages in a sling -- only waking to feed or for a nappy change. But while some people plump for a sling instead of a buggy, many modern parents will prefer the flexibility of owning both a buggy and a sling -- each has their uses.

Any baby-carrier or sling is an affordable, space-saving and ethical choice compared with a buggy, pram or pushchair, since you're not buying something made from so many different, often unsustainable, materials. What's more, a good sling is hard-wearing enough to be handed on and used for dozens of babies. Things to look out for when choosing your sling are comfort -- for you and Baby, of course -- ease of use and general practicality. Then of course there are the different green credentials that the fabrics can have.

All four of the slings we tested are made from some kind of certified organic cotton. Both the Wilkinet and Huggababy slings are made in the UK, which is a definite plus for eco-friendliness and ethics. The Wilkinet in particular stood out ethically -- for everything from its Fairtrade materials to its refusal to give retail giants more favourable terms than small shops.

The designs ranged from the age-old simplicity of the Didymos, a simple length of fabric which ties around you, to the brand new design of the Close, which has stretchy fabric that's tightened through two pairs of metal rings.

In all, the Wilkinet came out best for a combination of ethics and comfort. The Didymos came a close second for its quality and its unerring ability to lull a baby to sleep. And the Close was impressive for the speed and ease with which you could pop a baby in it -- perfect for the Attachment Parenting idea of wearing your baby around the house. The Huggababy was the only let-down as it proved uncomfortable and hard to adjust, plus the cream colour of the undyed fabric was simply impractical.

Why Organic Baby Bedding?

• 

By Beatrice Stephenson

Well, the question is quite easy answered by those parents who’s children are suffering from allergies of different kinds. In most fabrics of today there are thousands of toxic substances and colors, that can be very harmful for your baby, especially if she’s allergic or has allergy in the family, and therefore easily could develop it.

Organic bedding products automatically provide relief from allergies. Well documented scientific research and documentation has proven that organic cotton and wool help to reduce discomfort and skin rashes, that you can get from normal fabrics, if you have allergy tendencies. The benefit for your baby is the softness and quality that only organic cotton can provide, and it is one of the top reasons people choose organic cotton for their baby's delicate skin. Cotton grown in conventional ways is poorer and weakened by the chemicals used in growing, processing and dying of the cotton. All these things break the fibre down creates a much weaker and reduced product in the end of the production line.

But there might be other reasons for wanting your baby or toddler to sleep in organic sheets or even wear organic clothes. Small children’s skin are quite thin and not really use to all the toxins and poisons that is in the environment around us. To give a baby organic food and let him wear organic cotton, can be a soft way to start off in this world, before he gradually is used to environmental circumstances. We can’t always keep the baby as safe as we want to, there are air pollutions where ever in the world you are staying, unnatural growing fertilizers in our foods and the list goes on and on. But maybe we can make the first time in the little ones life a little better, a little easier for a small body to adjust to.

When it comes to organic cotton, north America produces excellent organic cotton and wool, meeting all the international standards for quality and safety. And there’s an ethical point to it all. Ecologically produced cotton is fair trade, meaning that ecological cotton from India are in most cases produced under human conditions, with absolutely no child labour and with a fair salary to the farmers. Cotton farming is a very high factor to pollutions in the world, and organic farming turns those bad numbers upside down. Did you know that: ecological farms have 44% more birds on their lands than other cotton farmers? More that five times as many wild plants? Only that information should tell us something.

When you think of organic beddings you might think about boring watery colors in beige and natural white only, but that couldn’t be further from the truth! There are many environmental ways of colorings these days, and you can get great looking products, even if they are ecological.
So, why don’t do your little one a favour and let him or her sleep in some environmentally and physically friendly sheets!

Organic Baby Food - Tips For Making it Affordable

By Erika L Jones

Are you sold on the benefits of organic baby food, but wondering how you can afford to serve it? Do the rising costs of organic produce make you want to run to the canned food aisle?

Before you forgo the extra nutrition in organic foods, here are some suggestions to help you get more for your money.

1. Make your own.

One of the easiest ways to save money on organic baby food is to prepare it yourself. It requires about an hour of planning and preparation each week and even less time once you get into a groove.

All you need is a blender or food processor, one or two ice trays, cling wrap, fresh produce and some baby food recipes. Naturally mushy foods like bananas and avocados require only seconds of food prep time.

2. Shop around for deals.

Whether you are making it yourself or buying prepared baby food, now is not the time to be loyal to your favorite grocer or brand. Look for weekly specials in mailers, in the coupon section of the newspaper or online.

Some of the top brands of organic baby food will offer coupons on their websites. If you don't see any, email the company. Stock up when the price is good, and go to the competitor when the price is unreasonable.

3. Swap organic foods with a friend.

How often have you purchased an entire bag of organic fruit only to have them rot before they are eaten? Most organic produce is packaged in bulk, not giving you the opportunity to buy one or two pieces.

You don't need a large quantity of produce to make organic baby food. A little food goes a long way when you make and store it.

To minimize waste, find a healthy-minded friend, agree to purchase certain items and trade the excess. You will save money and be able to provide more variety in your baby's meals.

If you buy jarred organic baby food, get it in bulk online and trade flavors with your friends.

4. Visit a Farmer's Market.

If your town has a local farmer's market, compare the prices to that of your favorite grocery store. You may find savings of up to 40% at the market, so take friends and some cash and enjoy the time shopping outdoors.

Look for the certified organic label on the produce, but know that some small farmers may not be certified because of the expense involved. If in doubt ask how and where the produce is grown. Foods grown locally and in season are the least expensive. Finally, request a sample. Organic foods will have a more flavorful and vibrant taste.

5. Start an organic garden.

Going local is cheaper. Imagine how much money you would save if tomatoes, herbs, berries and peaches grew in your own backyard. Of course this will require time and energy before you experience a payoff.

However, if the cost of transporting fruits and vegetables continues to rise, you may have neighbors knocking on your door making offers for a bucket of blueberries.

If you're willing to alter your shopping routine, you can experience significant savings on organic baby food and produce. Who knows, you may tap into a resource that makes eating organic affordable for the entire family.

Are Organic Foods Healthier?

by: glenn@isnare.com

There are many contaminants that assault us on a daily basis. These toxins are in the air we breathe, the water we drink and the foods we eat, to name just a few. Eating organic food greatly reduces the toxins we consume in our food. Organic food is becoming more popular as people are becoming more health conscious. There are now certain regulations for growing organic foods commercially and many foods, especially eggs, bear an organic certification label.

What is organic food?

Organic food is food that is grown naturally without the aid of commercial fertilizers and chemicals like insecticides, herbicides, and anti-fungal substances. Organic growers use only organic fertilizers and remedies for growing plants. These foods are natural and unrefined. Feeding the animals food that has no chemicals added to it in turn produces organic animal products such as meat, poultry and eggs. For example, chickens and poultry are allowed to roam free as opposed to being kept cooped up in cages, and fruits and vegetables are not chemically ripened.

Advantages of organic food:

There are several advantages for us in eating organic foods:

� There are considerably less toxins in the food as it is grown without the aid of chemicals
� It is often better tasting
� Better for you-there are more nutrients in organic foods and Omega 3 is often found in organic eggs.

How Organic food will improve your health:

A natural diet consisting of unrefined foods, more fiber less chemicals and toxins will improve your overall health in several ways:

� More fiber from fiber rich foods and those that are unrefined will help your digestive system and allow your whole body to function better.

� Some organic eggs are produced from chickens that are fed on vegetarian feed. This will cut down trans fat and animal fat in the eggs. Omega 3 is found in organic eggs, this substance can be good for the heart.

� There is more iron in the yolk of an organic egg. As seen by the pale color of the commercial egg yolk as opposed to the dark yellow/orange of the organic egg.

� Due to the absence of refinement in organic food it is more satisfying and will help you with any weight loss program by encouraging you to eat less.

� Organic fruits and vegetables have more nutrition than commercially grown ones so you will be feeding your body with better food and improve your overall health.

Organic foods are the wave of the future as more people become more educated about their health and the foods that are good for them. At present, prices are a little higher for organic products but it is worth it when you consider the benefits. By switching to organic food you will improve your health and wellbeing and you will also be able to boost your immune system and help your body fight off diseases and toxins.

Are You Protecting Your Baby From Harmful Chemicals?

By Alan Heppenstall

Have you ever taken the time to stop and think about what chemicals might be lurking in the fabric of that crisp new vest or sleepsuit for your baby? Your baby products might just contain Phthalates, Organotin compounds, Brominated flame retardants and other chemicals potentially dangerous to new borns.

Ok so let’s not get too over the top here, your baby clothes and toys wouldn’t be on the market if they were regarded as truly dangerous and there’s no reason to move into a padded chemical-free bubble made of organic soap to protect them!

On the other hand we can’t overlook the fact that such chemicals are being presented to our babies when the long-term health effects are not entirely known. There is good evidence that exposure to, and subsequent build up of chemicals can cause major damage. For example a build of Phthalates can have a damaging effect on development of the reproductive organs.

So what can we do to limit the amount of potentially harmful chemicals our babies come into contact with? Sew our own baby clothing from home grown cotton? Try out baby clothes on ourselves first? Let them wander naked and free? It might be simpler to make sure we buy organic items.

What are organic fabrics and dyes?

Organic fabrics are materials which are manufactured with the minimum use of chemicals and damage to the environment. This includes all stages of the manufacturing process including growing the cotton, harvesting the cotton, dying the fabric and finishing the fabric.

Organic dyes are made from plants, vegetables and roots. A surprisingly wide variety of colourfast pigments can be achieved this way.

Why buy organic?

The first and often most important concern for most parents who buy organic is that they want to protect the health of their child. Using organic fabrics and manufacturing practices can minimise the amount of toxins your baby comes into contact with giving you piece of mind.

You might even sleep a little better at night after buying Organic baby gifts. They are environmentally friendly as they are not produced from nylon or polyester. Both of these are made from petrochemicals which are both very polluting and contribute to global warming. The manufacture of nylon released nitrus oxide, a very harmful greenhouse gas! Furthermore these materials, unlike cotton are non biodegradable, adding to our landfill.

Moreover the growing of cotton is extremely harmful to the environment, with it requiring more pesticides per plant than almost any other crop in the world. Apart from affecting local eco-systems and animals these pesticides can cause the farmer illness or even death!
Organic cotton is grown without the use of such pesticides, making them cheaper for the farmer and much more environmentally friendly. Replenishing and maintaining soil fertility also helps to reduce impacts on the environment.

It’s not difficult to see the benefits to your baby, third-world farmers and even the entire planets environment when buying organic baby products. They’re not as expensive as you’d think and it’s certainly worth the piece of mind so next time you need something for your or another’s baby, think organic!

Organic Crib Mattresses - Six Reasons to Buy Organic

By Jamie Jefferson

So much care and attention goes into preparing for a new baby, and it's only natural that you would want to provide the very best.

One of the decisions that new parents are faced with is whether to choose a traditional or organic crib mattress. Organic crib mattresses work just as well as traditional mattresses but have the added benefit of being free from chemicals. Here are six considerations to help you in your purchasing decision:

1. By purchasing organically made products, such as a crib mattress, you are influencing the marketplace with your dollars. The more people purchase organic products, the more they are likely to be provided in the future. Because organically grown cotton reduces the use of pesticides in fields, your purchase is helping the environment.

2. Switching from a traditional crib mattress to an organic crib mattress may be more than just an eco-friendly move. It may be a matter of safety. Many traditional crib mattresses contain a number of materials with questionable effects. Experts are starting to look at everything from polyurethane foam to chemical fire retardants to see what kinds of effects they may have on growing babies.

3. Some experts say that organic crib mattresses, with their natural ingredients, allow air to flow freely through the mattress. The better air circulation may help your baby breathe better. In addition, some studies suggest that the organic cotton may lead to a lower incidence of allergic reactions.

4. Due to the recent interest in organic baby products, be wary of any misuse of the word "organic" in the marketplace. You want to make sure that you are getting a certified organic mattress. You can also call the Organic Consumers Association to get a list of accredited organic retailers.

5. If you're purchasing your organic crib mattress online, you need to read the fine print and look through the list of components. A mattress may say that it's organic, but lists polyurethane in the components, for example, it can't be 100 percent organic.

6. Organic crib mattresses are more expensive than traditional crib mattresses. But given the fact that a new baby spends 70 percent of her time sleeping, it might be worth a little bit extra to get an organic crib mattress. When you lay your baby down on something you know is chemical free, you may find that you rest easier yourself.

Babies have been sleeping on traditional mattresses for a long time, so don't be overly alarmed by the claims or warnings that you might read online while researching organic baby gear. That said, with so many chemicals in our world today, it might make sense to research your options before making this important purchase.

Organic Cotton

Organic cotton is cotton that has been made without the use of chemicals. In this way the environment is not affected.

This kind of production method ensures that the cotton that is obtained is natural.

Organic cotton baby clothing

Organic cotton clothing are made from these organic cotton in strict conditions that ensure that the environment is not adversely affected.

Cautions when buying organic clothing

Organic Cotton Baby Clothes - Benefits Every Parent Should Know

Organic cotton baby clothes are a hot item with retailers of all kinds these days. They're so hot, in fact, that mega-giant Wal-Mart now carries a line of organic baby clothing and layette items in its stores.

Though the organic cotton baby clothes trend is extremely popular with apparel makers and retailers, many parents are confused because they simply don't understand how the term organic relates to cotton and baby clothes. Too, parents often believe that the term is simply made up to con them into believing there's something special about the baby clothes when there probably isn't. Many of them will pass on buying organic baby clothes, blankets, and such-and thus miss the many benefits that their children could get from wearing them.

So when looking at organic cotton baby clothes it's good to have some background. For example, organic cotton is grown chiefly in India under strict regulations and in fields that are chemical-free. Organic means that something is grown in a chemical-free environment. Organic cotton growers take that further by ensuring that the fields have not chemicals or pesticides of any type used for a minimum of three years. This is heavily regulated and is highly watched to ensure that organic cotton is exactly what it claims to be.

By comparison, ordinary cotton is grown in places that aren't as particular about where the cotton is grown. It is also grown using high levels of pesticides and chemicals that is imbibed by the cotton as it grows. As there are far fewer restrictions in place for conventionally grown cotton, there's no way of knowing just how much chemical pesticides are really being used.

These pesticides are generally petroleum-based and have many serious side effects, and these chemicals do stay in the cotton. The chemicals left in the cotton are thought by experts to have the potential cause everything from allergic reactions to asthma to even cancer. Add to that the fact that manufacturers also often add dyes to the cotton which offer additional chemical reactions, and you have a serious problem.

Baby clothes made from organic cotton eliminate all health issues that can come from traditionally grown cotton. To make organic cotton baby clothes an even healthier choice, many have nickel-free snaps or buttons made from nuts, which are hypoallergenic, further ensure that the baby clothes are the safest possible clothing for children to wear.

Organic cotton also protects our environment. It also protects water quality and the health of people who work growing it and manufacturing it. So purchasing organic cotton baby clothes, blankets, bedding, etc., means that you not only protect your child, you also have a hand in making the whole world a little safer place to live.

Organic Baby Clothes - The Only Eco Friendly Choice

Cotton may be one of the most versatile crops in the world, but with the amount of pesticides and insecticides (over 25% of the worlds total usage) involved in their production it can also be said that cotton is the most toxic crop in the world. It takes roughly one pound of synthetic fertilizers and chemicals to produce three cotton t shirts.

Once cotton becomes a garment, traditional products are still subjected to toxic dyes and chemical finishes that whiten and preserve. The reason; these traditional methods save the manufacturer money. This is a sad truth, but sadder still is that these chemicals out gas and are absorbed into the wearers skin and respiratory system.

As green parents, you all know that heavy pesticides contribute to such diverse problems as air, river and ocean pollution and animal ill health. The health risks for farm workers include asthma, fatal poisoning and cancer when dealing with conventionally grown cotton.
