Mothers pass toxic chemicals to their babies through their umbilical cords, according to a groundbreaking study. The recent study commissioned by Washington-based Environmental Working Group found an average 200 industrial chemicals and pollutants (body load) in umbilical cord blood from 10 babies born in U.S. hospitals. Exposure to chemicals is a huge concern with infants. Because the blood-brain barrier – the body’s defence that keeps contaminants from reaching the central nervous system – is not yet developed, babies can suffer more neurological harm.
And of course, female babies are born with the eggs that could become their own babies, meaning later generations will also be exposed. Making your home environment as clean and green as you can is a great way to help reverse this damaging trend.
Begin with baby as you intend to go on – by using only the purest organic products such as those from the miessence® certified organic Mother & Baby Range. Free from chemicals and synthetics, miessence® Baby Cream Wash, Lotion and Baby Powder are pure and delicate enough to be used confidently on newborns. Similarly, Organic Baby Bottom Cleansing Gel, Bottom Mist and Barrier Balm work together to gently clean and soothe the nappy area to keep it ..well.. ‘smooth as a baby’s bottom’.
