What Every Mom Should Know about Infant Bedding

Moms around the world all want what’s best for their child and one of the main reasons why so many are focusing on sustainable products is to ensure that there is a beautiful world in their future. However, many don’t realize that it is a lot more basic than recycling and looking for BPA in tins containing food products. Did you know that the leading synthetic fibers on the market today are hazardous to your health? Not only are these fibers unsafe for clothing, but should never be used in bedding either. Here are some facts that every mom should know about infant bedding.

Fibers that Are Known to Be a Health Hazard

Much of today’s bedding is made from a cotton-poly blend of fibers which most busy moms absolutely love because they tend to be wrinkle resistant. Unfortunately, most consumers aren’t aware of the fact that Polyester is absolutely the most hazardous material on the market and one that should never be in contact with a child’s skin, especially over extended periods of time.
Polyester is manufactured from polymers which have been made from terpthalic acid (TPA) along with dihydric alcohol esters. According to the United States National Library of Medicine, TPA is an irritant that can cause problems with the mouth, throat and respiratory tract. With such worry about Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), it’s a wonder that governments allow infant bedding to be made with anything even remotely associated with TPAs.

Exposure Over a Long Period of Time

The problem is in repeated or extended exposure to these toxic fibers. Mothers shouldn’t be afraid to have their babies briefly held by grandmother who happens to be wearing a polyester shift. Those few moments aren’t going to make a difference. Unfortunately, clothing and other fibers that the child will be exposed to over long periods of time could very well present health risks.
Consider the amount of time your baby spends sleeping, especially whilst still in a cradle or crib. They are asleep more than they are awake for at least the first several months of their lives. Why risk any kind of health problems when there are organic cotton cradle mattresses on the market that are safe? Every mom should know that only organic fibers should be used around their most precious treasures, their children. With the availability of safe and comfy organic child friendly bedding, why take the risk?
Saving the earth for your child’s future is noble and something every mom and dad should do. Nonetheless, there are more immediate dangers to be concerned with so it is important to be kept informed of potential health hazards. From the food your child eats to the clothing worn or the bedding children sleep with, it is essential to make safety a top priority, both now and for the future. Organic cotton cradle mattresses will be a huge part of your infant’s life and will go a long way in keeping him or her healthy for those first very important months of life. As a concerned mother, you have made the right choice.

"The Reading Game" Review and Giveaway

Description: The first book in  The Reading Game  learn-to-read series tells the story of a skunk without a stripe who is rejected by the other skunks but finds acceptance among some cats and becomes their defender.  It’s told in rhyme, is beautifully illustrated, and is 32 pages long.  It will be the first book the student reads, and there are five more to follow in this groundbreaking learn to read program. Each of The Reading Game's six stories is told using just thirty new words.  These are broken down into six sets of five words.  The student learns to read each set of five words by playing a simple word matching game.  Frequent exposure through play hard wires these words into long-term memory.  Rote learning is transformed into a fast-paced game with a winner every few seconds. After completing Skunk, Game 1, the student has learned five words (can, cat, is, me, not).  Playing Game 2 adds an additional five w...

Common Mistakes Made When Writing a Will

  Writing a will should, by all means, be a simple thing. You want to make sure that your assets are being left to your loved ones and that your final wishes are being fulfilled. Usually, they are rather straightforward, but that doesn’t mean that they are entirely foolproof. Here, we’re going to look at some common issues that can lead to disputes or delays in carrying out your will. Image - CC0 License Not Having It Witnessed Correctly One of the most common mistakes when writing a will is not having it witnessed correctly. Wills generally require the signatures of at least two witnesses who are not beneficiaries or spouses of beneficiaries. If the will is not witnessed in accordance with legal requirements, it may be declared invalid, meaning your estate would be distributed according to intestacy laws, which may not align with your wishes. It’s important to follow the witnessing procedures exactly as outlined in your jurisdiction to ensure the will is legally enforceable. Chan...
