BPA, Phthalates, Cold Medicine–Is your Child at Risk?
August 13th, 2009
Whether you're worried about baby bottles or baby lotion, here's your guide to new research on potential infant health hazards.
by: Sydney Loney
BPA, Phthalates, Cold Medicine
    

  • A recent study found infants may be exposed to phthalates in baby shampoo, lotion and powder.
    • 

  • Manufacturers aren't required to list phthalates on labels, so look for products labeled "phthalate-free."
    • 

  • Studies show over-the-counter cough and cold medications are ineffective and unsafe for children under age six.
    • 

  • Treat colds with rest, fluids, humidifiers and saline drops.
    • 

  • Research is ongoing, but if you're concerned about bisphenol A (BPA) in plastic baby bottles, opt for glass bottles or those labeled "BPA-free."
    • 



 
These are tough times for kids under two. Some of their coolest toys have been taken away, they have to be extra careful about what they put in their mouths and now they've been told they shouldn't indulge in many baby bath products.
