Teething

Conventional Teething Products 

Conventional medicines contain potentially harmful genetically modified ingredients like lactose, high fructose corn syrup, and flavorings derived from questionable ingredients. Other may contain unnecessary artificial inactive ingredients such as  talc, artificial dyes, flavors, and preservatives.

❌ Petroleum jelly: It is a derivative of oil refining. Petroleum can damage and suffocate your skin and studies from Columbia University found that a petrolatum impurity is a known carcinogen. These byproducts are things we’d never want in our products, including known carcinogens like Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) and 1,4-Dioxane.  “If you wouldn’t put it in your baby’s mouth, then why would you put it on their skin?”

❌ Menthol: Not for babies. While research suggests menthol can benefit adults by helping the body produce more mucus, this increased mucus flow may cause respiratory distress in babies as their tiny nostrils may not be able to handle it. That’s why I recommend this Baby Chest Rub menthol-free.

Greenwashing Teething Products 

Avoid greenwashing baby pharmacy products made by pretend that pretend to be safer, organic and natural when they are not, they will use their marketing tricks to convince you to buy their products. 

❌ Hydrogenated Oils: They have chemically altered versions of natural oils. In fact, they can be only one molecule away from plastic!

❌ Common allergens: such as gluten and lactose.
