About Me
I'm a recently retired RN Mommy who happens to enjoy medical research, especially related to raising healthy children in a toxic world.
I became aware of the dangers caused by chemicals in plastic last year. As I began searching for safe feeding gear, I realized how limited the information was and how few options were available. What started as a growing awareness of toxic plastics, became a mission to care for my own children and newborn nephews. A highly motivated search team grew out of my concerned family members and now we work together to find the highest quality non-toxic baby care products.
