7th generation's new baby care line (& a giveaway!)

Isn't it funny how becoming a mother makes you look at the world differently -- I find myself inspecting every little thing now, especially when it comes to what my children put in their tummies and on their skin. I read labels from start to finish, and then read them again because in most cases, I've never heard of half the ingredients.

Simply put: I'm very careful about what my children eat (although let's not be crazy, they had fish sticks for dinner... though they were organic!) -- AND what goes on their skin. With all the choices out there, it can be hard to find a product that is pure and natural, good for your precious one and the environment.

That said, I'm so excited to spread the word about Seventh Generation's new baby care line, which includes sunscreen, foaming shampoo and body wash, diaper cream and body lotion.

Some of the new line highlights:

- First complete line of USDA-certified biobased baby care products
- Endorsed by Healthy Child, Healthy World
- Products are gluten-free
- No synthetic fragrances, phthalates, parabens (all ingredients of concern)
- Tear-free, no worries about getting in eyes
- Non-toxic, biodegradable formula
- Made with natural ingredients that come from plants and minerals
- Extra-virgin olive oil to moisturize and protect

*Having tried the line myself, I also want to add that the scent is fresh and light without being too "perfume-y" (which I hate in bath products)

Bath time!

Additionally, I sat in on a very interesting call last week with representatives from Seventh Generation, The Motherhood and founder of Liddle Kidz Foundation (a children's health and nurturing touch organization), Tina Allen. We discussed Seventh Generation's commitment to safe products and the benefits of baby massage, which is known to deepen bonding between mother and child, improve communication, contribute to development and helps baby to sleep better.

Here's a quick video on the benefits of infant massage:
