Harmful Chemicals in Babycare Products - PLEASE READ!!

[Rainbow_Mumma]

and another supporter! I am very interested in getting the mentioned books, we are in the transition of going chemical free here, i use soap nuts for the laundry and wash my windows and floors with vinegar and warm water.
I do need a lot of recipes for homemade cleaners/household products if someone could point me in the right direction to a possible link on BB.
DD2 is now in disposibles only because our laundry sink is currently unusable but up until then has been in cloth, both my babies hardly ever had baby wipes we always use facewashers.

I am verrrry slowly being convinced. I have taken some steps - my boys have both been in cloth nappies (but do wear disposable overnight, I have not found a cloth nappy that could hold overnight for either of them), I do not use any bath products on them at all just plain water, I have recently started using MooGoo products for moisturisers etc. We do use disposable wipes though - I realllllly like them! They are just so handy to clean up mess etc. I guess I could try to switch. I brought cloth wipes for DS1 but it just never took, always seemed so awkward wetting it etc etc. Maybe I just never got the set up right.

You know what would be very handy? If some of you could list actual brands and products that you use and where you can purchase them. I would be very interested in a shampoo for my children for example.

I have only just looking into products, I started using "Natural Instinct" baby products, which you can get from the chemist. Unfortunatly it contains Sodium Laureth Sulfate, which has low levels of a known carcinogen.

My DS has excema, so the doctor said just to bath him in water, his skin is too sensitive for any products. My mum said she used to use grape seed oil to bath my brother (he also had excema). I still have to try that.

I am going to have to keep on looking it seems... Will let you know what I find!
