Parent Worries

I admit, I am a worrier, and maybe (probably) I worry too much. There are so many things in the news like whether or not to vaccinate, BPA in plastics, etc. I feel, as a parent, it's my job to do lots of research so we can make well informed decisions. This weekend I read an article in Parenting magazine, I couldn't find the article online but it's kind of like this one, it's about chemicals in baby products (lotions, soap, shampoos) and products we all use, actually. It's really scary to think that there are all these chemicals in products I put on my child's and my skin everyday. Chemicals that are known to cause cancer, allergies, skin problems, and neurological problems. The article referenced this site. You can look up any product and it gives it a number from 0-10, 0 being completely safe. This is what we've been using on Isabella, how scary! I did find some baby wash and lotion that is listed as completely safe, so that's what we'll use from now on. I haven't had time to look up the products that I use, and I don't know if I want to!
