This is not an easy time to be a new mom. It seems something new is coming out every week or so that could threaten your baby's health -- and the information on what is best to do is rarely crystal clear.
Take this bisphenol A situation, for example. A few months ago, the reports were scary. Bisphenol A, commonly found in baby bottles and water bottles, was being blamed for everything from cancer to hyperactive children. The prevailing advice was that parents should get that stuff far away from their children.
A report released by the FDA in the past few days refutes those claims, and suggests that the chemical is safe for infants, children and adults.
Just to be on the safe side, you can try to avoid products with bisphenol A in them, but that can be tricky. And now with these conflicting reports, is it important to be vigilant about this or not? How far do you go?
I'm curious about what the newest moms think. How are you handling this question? If you have thoughts on this, leave a comment for me.
