Plastics can be dangerous, especially to babies. If you are a new parent, there are many items that babies need that are made of plastic. But, some of these items are best to avoid to protect the good heath of your precious little one. What plastics should you make sure to avoid at all costs? Teething rings, baby bottles, and plastic toys top the list of the plastics that pose danger to your baby that you should not use.
Key Takeaways:
- Plastic has become a great part of the lives of children as they teethe on it, wear it, drink from it, and sleep on it.
- Plastic is convenient but the bad side is that it is known to leach such that if children suck it strongly, it gets into their system.
- The author states that she has tried to eliminate plastic from her children’s lives but that it’s nearly impossible.
- Plastic labeled No. 3, No. 6 and No. 7 are of concern
