BabyExpert — Thu, 31 Jul 2008 22:46:07 +0000

Cotton Tale Designs has created a new baby bedding set and when you purchase the 4 piece set then they will make a donation to the WorldWildlife Fund.

The Arctic set is a combination of 100% cotton, washable velvet in tundra red, appliqués in black dot and textured fleece. Whales, penguins and polar bears, mothers and babies interact on the quilt and sectional bumper accented by hand stitching.

Aren’t they so cute?! If you are tired of seeing the common baby bedding and want something different, then this is a great choice. It’s neutral too so if you aren’t sure if you are having a boy or a girl then it works perfect. It’s something that they can grow with too so you won’t have to keep changing the bedding.

Barcelona, 1932. The son of Ramón Jané Caúm, Manel Jané Vidal, changed the focus of the business when his son was born. �??If you�??re such a good locksmith, if you have so many ideas for others, prove that you also have them for your son.�?? Encouraged by his father, Manel Jané accepted the challenge and, after just a few days, baby Ramón went out on wheels, in an unnamed pram but one for which Manel Jané felt extremely proud.

BPA is a popular topic for many

BabyExpert — Thu, 01 May 2008 17:48:00 +0000

Bisphenol A (BPA) is used to make polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins. Epoxy resins are sometimes used as interior liners in food packaging. Polycarbonate plastics are frequently used because they are clear and almost shatterproof. These plastics are used in sports bottles, baby bottles, medical devices, CDs, electronics, and many other common household items. BPA has been shown to be an endocrine disruptor. This means that BPA, after it has leaked into food or drink, has been found in animal studies to mimic hormones in the endocrine system. There is a seven class system for plastics in the United States. Polycarbonate plastics fall into the �??Other�?? category and have a recycling label 7 on the bottom. However, because #7 labeling is the �??other�?? category, not all plastics marked #7 contain BPA. The only true way to know if an item contains BPA is to get the information from the manufacturer.

The Food and Drug Administration Opinion:
“Based on our ongoing review, we believe there is a large body of evidence that indicates that FDA-regulated products containing BPA currently on the market are safe and that exposure levels to BPA from food contact materials, including for infants and children, are below those that may cause health effects. However, we will continue to consider new research and information as they become available.

At this time, FDA is not recommending that anyone discontinue using products that contain BPA while we continue our risk assessment process. However, concerned consumers should know that several alternatives to polycarbonate baby bottles exist, including glass baby bottles.”

Source: Food and Drug Administration. 14 April. 2008. U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services. 29 April. 2008.

National Toxicology Program at the National Institutes of Health Opinion:
“Although there is no direct evidence that exposure of people to bisphenol A adversely affects reproduction or development, studies with laboratory rodents show that exposure to high dose levels of bisphenol A during pregnancy and/or lactation can reduce survival, birth weight, and growth of offspring early in life, and delay the onset of puberty in males and females. Recognizing the lack of data on the effects of bisphenol A in humans and despite the limitations in the evidence for “low” dose effects in laboratory animals, the possibility that bisphenol A may impact human development cannot be dismissed. More research is needed.”

Informed Purchasing Decisions:
Should BPA content be limited or prohibited in the future, MacroBaby will comply with all applicable safety regulations. In the absence of BPA content regulations, we feel that our customers are entitled to make decisions on which products to purchase and use.
