Holly, I love your website! I found it through a new friend. I would like to add brewer’s yeast to my 8 month old son’s diet. He has not had any dairy, meat, or grains yet. Is it too early to start it?

Kringelring by HABA
This was my baby’s first toy and to this day he still absolutely loves it. In the beginning it was the perfect size and shape for his little hands to grasp, then he learned how to shake it to make it rattle, and now he uses it for teething! I know it’s stained with food grade non toxic paint, so I say, chew away!
We actually love all the toys HABA makes. Check them out here:

Little Sprouts Hawaii
I found a GREAT children’s store on a recent trip to Hawaii:
It’s full of organic and eco friendly clothes, toys, and gear! They’ve recently opened an online boutique, and they ship everything for FREE!!! Can you imagine?
I recently bought some non toxic crayons there called crayon rocks. So cool. You have to check this place out.
Use Natural Products on Your Baby
Here’s some eye opening info:
“Eighty-nine (89) percent of 10,500 ingredients used in personal-care
products have not been evaluated for safety by the CIR, the FDA,
nor any other publicly accountable institution.”
—COSMETIC INGREDIENT REVIEW PANEL, FDA OFFICE OF COSMETICS AND COLORS
Check the ingredient list and don’t use synthetic chemicals or anything petroleum based. In small amounts these are probably ok, but day after day when you use the same baby wipes or lotion, it seeps into your baby’s bloodstream and collects in his body. Do you want toxins in your baby’s bloodstream and organs? Didn’t think so!
