I was flipping through a maternity magazine at my doctor’s office when I came across an advertisement for an innovative baby bottle by Adiri, designed with the help of doctors, moms and lactation consultants. The shape of the bottle captured my attention immediately; it looks nothing like your standard bottle, and well, it looks a lot like a breast. It turns out this “feature” not only differentiates this bottle in terms of form but mostly in function. This 100% BPA-free bottle “encourages the same type of open-mouthed latching that is required for breastfeeding, making bottle feeding and breastfeeding more easily interchangeable.”

After some digging and no luck finding non-toxic baby personal care products in my local stores, I came across a one page guide created by cosmeticdatabase.com; Safety Guide to Children’s Personal Care Products (pdf). It is a lifesaver! It is split up into sections: tips, ingredients to avoid, and suggested products by category (that would be available in your store).
