Baltic Amber Teething Necklaces

Posted by on March 22, 2013 1 Comment

Teething can be so unpleasant for both babies and parents. Baby Orajel used to be the old standby, but after the Orajel scare of recent years, more parents are turning to natural teething relief remedies such as Baltic amber teething necklaces.

Amber Teething Necklace

These are not designed to chew on, as many often wonder. They’re only meant to sit against and be warmed by the skin.

There are many faux amber necklaces on the market, but Knickernappies (one of Everything Birth’s vendors) only uses 100% authentic Baltic amber. It’s crucial that genuine amber is used in teething necklaces because of the nature of amber.

Amber is a fossilized resin, not actually a stone. Amber teething necklaces are used because when amber is worn next to the skin, miniscule amounts of healing oils from the amber can get absorbed into the skin.  This oil is thought to significantly and gently help reduce inflammation and accelerate wound healing. If the baby did happen to get amber up to his lips though, amber is also non-toxic.

While many people allow their babies to wear amber necklaces all day, amber teething necklaces should only be used under direct adult supervision.  They are constructed for safety and the amber is so tiny that if somehow a piece got loose, it is not considered a choking hazard. Even still, the manufacturer stresses that these should be worn only under your supervision. Don’t worry though, because of the way it works with the skin, part-time use still allows the amber to sooth the baby.

I like the Moon Cup best of all.

Posted by on March 19, 2013 2 Comments

For menstrual cups, I’ve had the Keeper, the Diva Cup and the Moon Cup. It’s been a close race, but I think I like the Moon Cup best of all. To be clear, they’re all great. There’s also many more menstrual cups on the international market besides these three. I have no intentions of bad-mouthing any one of these great alternatives to tampons.

Most menstrual cups can hold nearly three times the fluid that a super absorbency tampon can without the same risks of toxic shock syndrome. Most importantly though, tampons make me feel like I’m dying, but menstrual cups make me almost forget I’m on my period at all.

Moon Cup I had most recently been using the Diva Cup, which I liked a lot. Unfortunately, upon learning that you should not clean cups with tea tree oil, curiosity got the best of me and I put tea tree oil on it to see what would happen. Needless to say, I needed a new cup.  When I used the Keeper years ago, it irritated me a little because I have a slight sensitivity to latex, so I didn’t get another one.  I remembered liking the Moon Cup, which is product from the makers of the Keeper that I had sampled once. (It’s not weird, I used to own a brick and mortar natural mothering store and wanted to test all my potential products before purchasing any to sell to customers.) So, I am again the proud owner of a Moon Cup.

Comfort

The Diva Cup was comfortable. I usually didn’t even know I had it in. Occasionally though, I would notice it when I was using the bathroom (but not changing the cup).  It wasn’t a big deal. With the Moon Cup though, I actually keep forgetting I’m even wearing it. That includes during all bathroom breaks. On a comfort scale, the Diva Cup for me was a 9.5. The Moon Cup though is a 10. I have to leave the cool carrying pouch hanging near the toilet just to remind myself that I’m on my period. So, I don’t know how much more comfortable you can get.

I never noticed that much of a difference, but now that trying out alternative menstrual products has become a hobby to me, I understand why it turns out I like the Moon Cup a little better. The Diva Cup is slightly longer than the Moon Cup.  For women who have a cervix that is positioned kind of low (which is apparently me) the shorter length of the Moon Cup makes all the difference. The shorter size of the Moon Cup seems a little more universal because it fits perfectly for women regardless of cervical location. Also, the Moon Cup also has a lighter feel than the Diva Cup does.

At first, the length of the stem of the Moon Cup made me nervous until I just started trimming the stems off of every cup I used. I never needed the stems, and prefer to have no feeling at all from a stem of any brand.

Insertion

Even though the Diva Cup was not a problem for me after the initial non-reading-the-instructions debacle, the Moon Cup feels easier to insert.  It also unfolds a little easier once inside and pops into place with more gentle ease.

Flame Retardants (in sleepwear and bedding) and their links with developmental disorders.

Posted by on November 18, 2012 Leave a Comment

My kids don’t wear pajamas.

My kids wear comfy clothing to bed, because children’s pajamas contain flame retardants. Likewise,  crib mattresses,mattresses and bedding all contains flame retardants too. Actually  toxic flame retardants have been found in about 80% of all children’s products. I get the point of it. If there were a house fire, it makes the chances of these items catching fire less likely.

But did you know that wool is also flame resistant? It’s self extinguishing and it won’t melt. Ivy Sager-Rosenthal, campaign director for the nonprofit Washington Toxics Coalition, said, ”Protecting children from fire doesn’t require exposing them to toxic chemicals.”

Flame retardants have since the 70′s been swapped out each time the current one is found to be substantially dangerous to health. One common flame retardant chemical that is applied to sleepwear and bedding products is called polybrominated diphenyl ethers or PBDEs.  ”Products aren’t required to be labeled as containing these chemicals,” said Sager-Rosenthal. “Parents almost have to be scientists to determine if the chemical is contained.”

The EPA says that it “is concerned that certain PBDE congeners are persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic to both humans and the environment.” The EPA also says, “PBDEs are not chemically bound to plastics, foam, fabrics, or other products in which they are used, making them more likely to leach out of these products.” In the last decade, some states have enacted bans on PCBEs and even the European Union, but they’re still out there causing problems.

I subscribe to the AAP’s newsbriefs and links email. Recently, an article in that email linked these flame retardants to developmental disorders and behavioral problems:

“Kids whose mothers had highest PBDE levels during pregnancy were more likely to be reported as having behavior problems by their teacher, the researchers said.

And every tenfold increase in children’s blood levels of PBDEs was linked with a four- to five-point decrease in IQ scores.”

As parents, it would be impossible to avoid exposure to PBDEs completely, because they are found in a number of products. Concentrating on the items where our children spend the most time would be most beneficial.

Since it’s not always feasible for people to buy new furniture and bedding, some of the less costly ways to reduce exposure are:

  • Don’t let your kids wear pajamas either.
  • Use an allergen cover over any bedding to reduce the PBDE particles from leaching out.
  • Seal tears on couches and upholstered furniture.
  • Vacuum and mop frequently to pick up the dust particles that may have leached out.
  • Air out any furniture or mattresses and long as possible before use.

Healthier ways to reduce exposure would be to:

Have you done anything to limit exposure to flame retardants in your household? If so, please share.

Triclosan made the news again. Why we don’t use it.

Posted by on November 15, 2012 Leave a Comment

Triclosan is an antibacterial chemical that is found in many household items, not just antibacterial soaps. Medical Daily just reported that a new study out of Norway linked triclosan with increased childhood allergies.  The Norwegian scientists also said triclosan can change the bacterial flora of the skin, mouth and gut. Given that allergies have to do with improper immune response and also that the majority of our immune system is found in our guts, these allegations mean that triclosan may have far reaching consequences. Medical Daily talks about it being in your toothpaste.  If you use normal toothpaste, that’s likely, but toothpaste is by no means the end of the list. Here’s a list of many products that contain triclosan.

In 1998, the Environmental Protection Agency estimated that more than 1 million pounds of triclosan were produced in the US each year.  That figure has only compounded with antibacterial-everything on the market a decade and a half later. Given the nature of triclosan products, after and as we use it, the triclosan that doesn’t end up in our bodies, just ends up washed down the drain and enters our water systems. Sure water companies try to get the triclosan out during the treatment process, but it still ends in our drinking water. So, I can’t avoid Triclosan exposure for my children. That means that the factors I do have control over, I take control over.

I get all sorts of nasty looks in the bathroom at the grocery store when I refuse to allow my kids to wash their hands with the “antibacterial soap.”  I really don’t care though. No amount of peer pressure is going to make me put triclosan on my children’s skin, not even “every once in awhile.”

Triclosan is not welcome in or on my children if I can help it. I know many of you feel the same way.

Garden Dreams Goat Milk SoapKeep in mind that according to the Mayo Clinic, “antibacterial soap is no more effective at killing germs than is regular soap.” A sixth grader even came to the same conclusion when she examined the effectiveness of antibacterial soap in comparison to natural soap.  The American Medical Association stated, “Despite their recent proliferation in consumer products, the use of antimicrobial agents such as triclosan in consumer products has been studied extensively. No data exist to support their efficacy when used in such products or any need for them. . .it may be prudent to avoid the use of antimicrobial agents in consumer products. . .”

Also consider that most illnesses children encounter are caused by viruses and triclosan, by nature has little effect on viruses.

So, I have to wonder why it’s so commonly used in schools. Especially since there are natural soaps out there like Garden Dreams that contain essential oils that help keep germs away even after the hand-wash is over. Not only that, but the essential oils are actually healthy and calming for our children.  When used at home in the bath, soaps like these can even act as a preventive against lice and mites and other nasties that children can pick up in public, outside or at school.

As for our FDA…

On its website, (As of today’s date) the FDA states, “FDA does not have sufficient safety evidence to recommend changing consumer use of products that contain triclosan at this time.” Apparently, the FDA doesn’t get around much because this crap has been under fire from consumer advocacy groups and other nations’ health safety regulating agencies for over a decade now… when the Norwegians put out another study pertaining to triclosan. “Hazardous” must mean different things to different people.

Consider these factors:

  • “The effects of triclosan on cardiac function were really dramatic,”  Dr. Nipavan Chiamvimonvat, professor of cardiovascular medicine at UC Davis, said in a press release last month. He continued, “Although triclosan is not regulated as a drug, this compound acts like a potent cardiac depressant in our models.”
  • According to Medical Daily,  80 percent of United States’ children’s urine contains detectable amounts of triclosan. So, in my son’s classroom of 30 kids, about 24 of them have detectable amounts of triclosan in their urine. I guess the other six kids have mothers more like us.
  • Doses of  triclosan needed to diminish muscle strength and blood flow in mice roughly matched those already measured in people in some parts of the United States.
  • When skin flora gets messed up, we’re more prone to skin infections.
  • When gut flora gets messed up, things really start to fall apart. For several weeks worth of reading on that subject, just Google “gut flora disease.”

Like I said, the word “hazardous” clearly means different things to the FDA than it does to people that are capable of seeing cause and effect chain reactions.

The Perfect Baby Shower Gifts

Posted by on October 24, 2012 Leave a Comment

At Everything Birth, you can find the perfect baby shower gifts. In this economy and with evolving perceptions in baby care, the most coveted presents aren’t going to be the cutest outfits anymore.  Though, Everything Birth does offer some adorable organic outfits that would make wonderful baby shower presents, a less traditional present might win you the award for the best baby shower gift at your next baby shower.

Homeopathic Baby Shower Ideas

One of my favorite baby shower gifts to give is a stash of homeopathy. It’s not cute, but it could be the most helpful gift a new mom gets at her baby shower. For a less crunchy mom, a basket full of the more mainstream homeopathic remedies would be the perfect baby shower gift. Imagine a little basket full of Hyland’s Teething Tablets, Hyland’s Teething Gel, Hyland’s Colic Tablets, Hyland’s Calms Forte, Hyland’s DiaperOintment, Hyland’s Earache Tablets, Hyland’s Earache Drops, Hyland’s Bumps and Bruises, Hyland’s C+ Cold Tablets, and Hyland’s Complete Flu Care. Hyland's Homeopathic Remedy ChestA more homeopathic-aware mother would probably love to receive a Hyland’s Kid’s Kit. The Kid’s Kit contains the most common homeopathic remedies that mothers turn to as well as an amazingly helpful booklet to help her choose the right remedy.  Our entire family uses these remedies, not just the little one. For a group gift, the Hyland’s Remedy Chest would be like a dream come true for any mother who reaches to natural remedies before conventional medicine. I have saved enough money in co-pays alone to pay for the Hyland’s Remedy Chest many times over.

Even if you are shopping for a woman who has no idea what homeopathy is, the gift of homeopathic remedies could end up being one of the best gifts she ever receives.

A FuzziBunz or Two

FuzziBunz One Size Elite Pocket DiapersEven if the expectant mother doesn’t plan to cloth diaper, a couple of FuzziBunz one-sized cloth diapers can still be a thoughtful gift. A simple note attached to the gift saying, “I know you’re not going to use cloth, but for those emergencies when you run out of disposables or the bad gets a bad rash or for the baby pictures, I thought these would come in handy.” can explain the thoughtful nature of your gift.  It’s true that FuzziBunz were designed, not for the environment, but out of a mother’s desperation when diaper rash just would not let up. The FuzziBunz one-size diaper would be my first choice because they are well known, have tremendous customer service, will fit the baby for a long time, have a great resale value, and are easy to clean.  The design of the pocket diaper makes it so that old-school cleaning methods aren’t needed. There’s no wet pail or toilet dunking required. Having these on hand will be needed, even if the mother never plans on using disposables. It’s a convenient and thoughtful shower gift that will get people talking.

Mama Care

Baby shower gifts don’t have to always be for the baby. Sometimes, it’s nice to think of the mom as well. A little gift basket or assortment of things that will make her life easier will be appreciated. The first thing I would include is the PeriEaseOrganic Sitz Bath or the WishGarden Herbs AfterBirth Sitz Bath. A mother’s peri-area is going to need some comforting and these sitz baths speed the healing, offer soothing relief and lower the risk of infections. The next thing I’d include (if I was very close to the mother) is a few cloth, organic mama pads. I explain my reasoning in this past post. Lastly, I’d add to the package, a couple sets of cloth breast pads. Even if the mother wasn’t going to breastfeed, I would include these. She will leak regardless, and these are so much more comfortable and breathable than the disposable version.

 Are You the Expectant Mother?

If you are the expectant mother reading this post, wishing that you could have some of these gifts for your baby shower, register with Everything Birth. It’s easy. You can register with Everything Birth right along side your standard gift registry. If you are interested, read more here.

The Perfect Pregnancy Tea for the Second and Third Trimesters

Posted by on October 20, 2012 Leave a Comment

WishGarden Herbs Pregnancy TeaDuring a woman’s second and third trimesters of pregnancy, there are nutrients her body needs, specifically her uterine tissue. The herbs in WishGarden Herbs’ Pregnancy Tea are the perfect blend to prepare a woman’s uterus for the big job it has in store for it. WishGarden Herbs’ Pregnancy Tea is specifically formulated for the high demand of a pregnant woman and her baby after the first trimester.

About the Uterus

Pregnancy happens so often, that people often ignore how  remarkable the uterus is. The uterus starts out about the size of a pear, but by the fifth week of pregnancy, it has already grown so much that it presses on the bladder. This is why those early weeks are accompanied by frequent potty breaks. Around the 12th week, it has grown so much that it moves up out of the pelvic cavity. That is why some urinary relief is felt during the second trimester. By the end of pregnancy, the uterus expands to hold up to 1000 times its normal capacity. On top of that, it must increase its muscle fiber as well.

Nutrients Needed for The Job

Raspberry Leaf- Raspberry leaf has demonstrated benefits that having gone through labor, I feel is quite significant. The double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial found that contrary to popular belief, it did not shorten the first stage of labor.  I didn’t find the first stage of labor to be a big deal, so whatever. It did demonstrate the ability to shorten the second stage of labor though. Even cooler, the raspberry leaf group had a lower rate of  forceps delivery than the control. (19.3% vs. 30.4%)  I feel that that speaks volumes about the strengthening effect it has on the uterus.  Also, the researchers found that raspberry leaf was found to cause no adverse effects for mother or baby.

Nettles Leaf- Nettles Leaf raises a bunch of conflict online, presumably because people don’t realize that fresh herbs often have different effects from herbs used in teas. Fresh nettles are a uterine stimulant. WishGarden isn’t suggesting you eat a salad of fresh Nettles (ouch.) When dried nettles leaves are used in a tea, you have a near perfect pregnancy concoction with just these wonderful greens. Another possibility for controversy is whether the leaves or the roots are used. In this case, it is the leaves. Lastly, taking large amounts of concentrated stinging nettles such as in “extract form” can be dangerous. This is a tea though and its nourishing qualities during pregnancy include strengthening the kidneys, nourishing the mother and her unborn baby, reducing leg cramps, reducing hemorrhoids, lessening the pain of childbirth, preventing hemorrhage after birth, and increasing the richness and quantity of the mother’s eventual milk supply.

The Added Perk of WishGarden Herbs Pregnancy Tea

Oat Straw Leaf- Oat Straw Leaf’s benefits in pregnancy come from how rich in calcium and magnesium it is. Given this, Oat Straw Leaf use during pregnancy can help relieve anxiety, restlessness, and irritated skin.

Red Clover Blossoms & Leaf- As the last ingredient listed, red clover aerials are added to work synergistically with the Raspberry Leaf towards improved uterine functioning and development.

I’ve tried this tea and liked it quite a bit. I found it soothing to drink even with my pick pregnant tastes. Have you tried this? Did you find it to be and enjoyable to drink as I did?

Lavender Oil for Fungal Infections

Posted by on October 14, 2012 Leave a Comment

Organic Lavender Essential Oil 1/3 oz.Pregnant women often have battles with fungal infections such as candida and dermatophytes (the fungi responsible for conditions like Athletes’ foot, ringworm, scalp and nail infections.) Just as we have seen with bacteria out-mutating antibiotics and vaccines, fungi seem to have built up resistance to popular antifungals. Compound that with how there are relatively few types of antifungal drugs anyway and the fact that those that are available often have side effects that would be undesirable for a pregnant woman, and it may be time to look towards a more natural fungal fix.

Lavender oil was tested early last year against a range of pathogenic fungi and was found to be lethal to both dermatophytes and some species of Candida. According to a study published in the Journal of Medical Microbiology, lavender oil could be used to kill antifungal-resistant infections. That’s not a huge surprise to crunchy moms. For many of us, lavender was our “gateway” herb. What is really cool to know though is how it works. Lavender oil (like many essential oils are proving to be capable of) work by destroying fungal cells by damaging the cell membrane of the fungal cells without damaging our own cells at all.

Is lavender oil safe during pregnancy?

The general consensus is yes.  There has been discussion about whether it should be avoided during the first trimester, but you can read this fantastic post, chock full of good sources that explain much of the warnings we hear actually refer to a different kind of lavender called spike lavender.

Other considerations…

Some medications have moderate interactions with lavender oil in that using them in conjunction could cause too much sleepiness. The following are the medications that might interact with lavender and cause excessive sleepiness:

  • Chloral Hydrate interacts with lavender.
  • Barbiturate sedatives interact with lavender.
  • CNS depressants interact with lavender.

All things considered, lavender oil appears to be a really safe, affordable and effective natural remedy for fungal infections. As a side note… I can’t help but consider it’s effectiveness on killing yeast in diapers on top of just helping them smell fresher.

My Remedy for PMS (is missing.)

Posted by on October 5, 2012 5 Comments

Hylands PMSI use Hyland’s PMS remedy most months. It’s a homeopathic remedy that curbs my feelings of depression and anger from premenstrual syndrome.  I only need one dose when I start to feel emotional a few days before my period. If I take it, I feel human. This month though, it is missing and I am reminded of what my life was like before I found Hyland’s homeopathic PMS remedy.

I have cried no less than three times each day for three days now. That’s not counting sobbing. I have sobbed at least once each day. I mean, sitting on the ground, sobbing. I have tried to talk myself out of it, I know it’s just PMS. Still, rational thinking does nothing to curb my feelings of insecurity, self-doubt, restlessness, anger and depression.

I started my period when I was 13. It changed me profoundly once a month.

PMS changes how I see myself in the mirror. It changes what I am capable of doing. It changes everything about me.

When I have PMS, it’s serious business. I am not selling you a product with this blog post, though if you share my suffering I urge you to buy it. I am trying to make some positive come of the fact that my Hyland’s PMS is missing. If it hadn’t gone missing, I wouldn’t remember just how miserable this feeling is. This is kind of like how I wrote about my ordeal after having to use a tampon for the first time in years and the turmoil that caused me. I know first hand the suffering that PMS causes and the difference the right remedy can make.

It is considered an OTC homeopathic remedy, which means it’s a safe potency to use without medical advice in accordance with its labeling. It can also be used in conjunction with medications.

I can’t say for certain that Hyland’s PMS remedy will work for you, but without a doubt, it has significantly changed my quality of life.  Today, through tears, I am reminded of just how much it has changed me. My Hyland’s PMS remedy is missing… and, quite frankly, so am I.
