I was recently informed that my sister will be needing a C-section delivery in order to welcome her little girl into the world safely. Fortunately, I will be there in the hospital as she recovers from this routinely performed, but major abdominal surgery. I know that the recovery process from this type of birth can be tricky, both emotionally and physically and I am so glad to have found one extraordinary gift to help her through welcome her little one into the world while she lets herself heal.

Earth Mama Angel Baby has been on the top of my favorite companies list for a while now and I love giving their gift baskets as presents to expectant moms that I know and love. The C-Section Recovery Kit is perfect for healing mind and body and includes a recovery audio CD, C-Mama Healing Salve, a comforting tea and an aromatherapy mist to lift mama’s spirits. A percentage of the proceeds of each C-Section Recovery Kit will go to ICAN (International Cesarian Awareness Network) which helps inform women to make educated choices about a C-Section birth.

Every product made by this wonderful company is completely pure, organic, non-toxic, cruelty free, Vegan and made with the health of both mama and baby in mind. I can’t say enough good things about them and their conscientious approach to pregnancy and birth issues. If you are looking for a way to support a pregnant or postpartum woman in your life, trust me when I say you don’t have to look any further than Earth Mama Angel Baby for that perfect gift - no matter what the circumstances may be.

A few weeks ago, the Campaign For Safe Cosmetics released a new report unveiling some ingredient no-nos found in baby and children skin care products - ones you’ve undoubtedly heard of and ones you may even have in your bathroom at this very moment.  82% of the products tested by Environmental Working Group contained formaldehyde, 67% contained 1,4-dioxane and 61% of the children’s bath products tested for this report contained both formaldehyde and 1,4-dioxane - known carcinogens. So what’s the big deal?  The big deal is that formaldehyde and 1,4-dioxane were found in products that do not list these ingredients on the label, so even the most diligent label-reading parent would not be able to find them because they are bi-products of other ingredients.  According to the report “using a contaminated product once is unlikely to cause harm.  But these products often contain other harmful chemicals that, when used repeatedly and in combination with numerous other products, can add up to harm.”Just because a product has been around since you were a child doesn’t mean it’s safe. See how your bathtime products rate in the No More Toxic Tub report.Looking for some safe, natural and/or organic alternatives?  Check out:Earth Mama Angel Baby Shampoo & Body WashCalifornia Baby Shampoo & Body Wash  Weleda Baby Calendula Shampoo & Body Wash
