Healthy Child Healthy World: Prenatal and Baby – Teleclass Re-cap
We recently held a very important teleclass on the health and safety of your newborn, generously co-sponsored by The Honest Company, and expertly facilitated by Christopher Gavigan, Co-founder and Chief Purpose Officer of The Honest Company and well-known environmental health leader, author and speaker.
During class, Christopher discussed topics such as how to prepare a healthy nursery, advice for expectant moms to have a safe pregnancy, recommendations on which plastics and baby products to avoid and what the numbers mean, safe house and healthy home improvement, breast feeding and bottle feeding, and more.
Since Christopher mentioned The Dirty Dozen and Clean 15, what fragrance actually is, and organic bedding for your family on the call, we wanted to make sure to include resources for your ongoing reference and support that will help you create a healthy environment for your growing family:
