Episode notes
Delayed Bathing and Probiotics
- Do delayed bathing for newborns to keep vernix and protect their microbiome.
- For C-section babies, use vaginal seeding or give bifidobacteria probiotics to rebuild gut health.
Avoid Toxic Flame Retardants
- Avoid baby products with synthetic flame retardants; choose brands like Nuna that are flame retardant and PFAS free.
- Flame retardants lower IQ and cause cancer; safer alternatives like wool exist for protection.
Skip Wet Wipes for Dry Ones
- Avoid wet wipes due to toxic preservatives; use dry organic cotton wipes moistened with water instead.
- Wipes touch sensitive, absorbable skin areas multiple times daily, increasing toxin exposure.
