Plastic Pollution Coalition and Made Safe present The Healthy Baby Guide
Maybe you’ve just learned that you’re pregnant, or maybe you have a new baby or growing children. Perhaps you and your partner are just thinking about having a family. Whatever the reason, you may be hearing troubling things about toxic chemicals around you — especially chemicals in plastic and other harmful ingredients or materials in the things you use daily — and how these chemicals affect not just the environment, but also the human body and particularly growing babies, infants, and children.
For example, plastic packaging, plastic containers, plastic toys — the list goes on — are practically everywhere. The concerning thing is that studies show plastic is loaded with chemicals that can harm our health.
We developed this guide to make it easy for parents and would-be parents to:
- Learn about toxic chemicals in plastics
- Find tips to reduce use of plastic
- Gather ideas to avoid other common toxic chemicals
- Get safe product recommendations

What you may not realize is that you have the enormous economic power to shift the marketplace away from harmful materials. Companies watch what you buy closely, and by supporting companies that are making safer products, you can help make change happen, so that one day, you won’t even need a guide like this. Together, we can create a world where every product on the shelf is safe to begin with.
Check out the Healthy Baby Guide, and share with all the loved ones in your life who are parents, pregnant women, and women looking to start a family.

When we had our children in ’89 and ’92 we searched in vain for information to guide our toy, food, utensil, and bottle choices. We WISH we had half of the information in this guide. When toxins are ubiquitous and hiding in plain sight we need research like this to make good choices with our pocketbook.
