Placenta Encapsulation
September 28th, 2009 — Babies, Health
Okay Wives… Get Ready because this is a lot to swallow…. Literally!
The First Time I had heard about women eating their own placenta after childbirth was from a hippie yoga instructor named Sunshine ( She mixed it with Scrambled Eggs…. Uhhhh, Vomit!! ) not to mention, I almost pasted out from Shock. Then while recently at a Barbecue, a pregnant women had informed me there are professional companies who will come and freeze dry your placenta and encapsulate it into pills to digest like vitamins! Now this I can actually wrap my head around considering how beneficial it is to your body after birth… Continue reading below for the benefits of this ancient tradition.
For those of you who aren’t familiar with this practice… Let me break it down for you. After you give birth, the placenta follows after the baby. The Placenta is connected to the fetus and basically takes all the nutrients from your body to give to your growing baby. Nearly every mammal consumes the placenta after it’s young is born. Many cultures practice eating the placenta after giving birth, making you post partum recovery much faster. There are many ways to prepare your placenta for ingestion. Some women feel comfortable creating a special recipe for it. Some women even consume it raw…. Yuck! These methods will work, but they limit the length of time you are able to utilize the benefits of placenta to a matter of days.
The new preferred method of ingestion is by capsule. The placenta can be dried, ground, and encapsulated. The capsules can then be taken daily for a number of weeks. You reap all of the healthful benefits of placenta quickly, easily and discreetly, and the capsules will last for years.
Continue taking your prenatal vitamin after the baby comes, for as long as you are nursing. Women who take their placenta capsules tend to have better postpartum experiences, avoid the baby blues, have an increase in energy, and an increase in milk production. Traditional Chinese Medicine has used placenta for centuries to treat issues such as fatigue and insufficient lactation, and scientific studies have bolstered the use of placenta for these conditions. Using the placenta for your postpartum recovery is a very easy and natural way to help you feel better after the birth.
Women who have taken placenta capsules report positive results in an overwhelming number of cases. Some women have even reported feeling positive effects as quickly as the same afternoon of the day they began their first dose. Women who were already feeling “weepy”, or experiencing other early signs of the baby blues, have felt better within days. Although the current scientific research is exciting, we have barely begun to scratch the surface of the potential benefits of placentophagy. Considering that placenta is a completely natural substance, created by a woman’s own body, encapsulation of the placenta is definitely worth considering as part of a holistic postpartum recovery for every expectant woman.
BENEFITS:
contain your own natural hormones
be perfectly made for you balance your system replenish depleted iron give you more energy lessen bleeding postnatal been shown to increase milk production help you have a happier postpartum period hasten return of uterus to pre-pregnancy state be helpful during menopause
With proper preparation, the majority of women can avoid the baby blues. If you intend to use the placenta for your postpartum recovery, you must take measures to ensure the placenta is handled properly from the moment of birth. Placentas can, and do, get ruined from improper handling. A woman who births in a hospital has to adhere to the guidelines and policies in place at their facility of choice. In some cases, there is no written policy, and mothers are then subjected to the whim of the staff on duty at the time they deliver. If you want to take your placenta home after its birth, you must have a plan before you walk through the doors in labor. Your chance of success will increase greatly. From what I’ve heard it can costs anywhere between $100 - 300 Dollars.

The Bisphenol A Controversy
April 5th, 2009 — Babies, Health
Bisphenol A Controversy
In February 2007, the public advocacy group Environment California Research & Policy Center published a report titled Toxic Baby Bottles: Scientific Study Finds Leaching Chemicals in Clear Plastic Baby Bottles. The report describes the harmful effects of the hormone-disrupting chemical bisphenol A (BPA), a developmental, reproductive, and neural toxicant found in polycarbonate plastic—the material used to make the vast majority of baby bottles.
Soon after this report was released, a billion dollar class-action lawsuit was filed in Los Angeles against five major baby bottle manufacturers over the dangers of BPA. The lawsuit alleges that potentially harmful levels of BPA can leach from polycarbonate baby bottles, when they are heated, and migrate into the contained liquid. The California legislature has also debated the safety of BPA, and next year supervisors in San Francisco will consider a citywide ban on BPA.
Chemical companies and baby bottle manufacturers claim human exposure to low doses of BPA is harmless. Yet there is growing scientific evidence to the contrary. In August 2007, an expert government panel found there is concern that bisphenol A causes neural and behavior problems among children who have been exposed to the chemical before or after birth.
Many consumers are unaware of this controversy and continue to purchase polycarbonate baby bottles, having never heard of BPA or the dangers it may pose for their families.
BPA is also widespread in bodies of water such as rivers and estuaries, and in landfills, where it leaches into the surrounding ecosystems.
The resources below are intended to provide you with greater detail about the bisphenol a controversy.

Green Guide: Baby Bottles
April 5th, 2009 — Babies, Health
The Baby Bottle Buying Guide:
Glass: Glass baby bottles, which don’t leach toxic chemicals, are a time-tested alternative to polycarbonate plastic. Glass bottles are, of course, breakable, and put children at risk of injury in the case of an accident. Additionally, glass can chip or crack when sterilized, which could lead to glass splinters in baby’s beverage. As with plastic, careful and regular inspections of the bottle allow parents to detect any flaws in the glass. Recycle any scratched, cracked, or chipped glass bottle.
#2 HDPE, #4 LDPE and #5 PP Plastics:These opaque bottles are made of either polypropylene or polyethylene, which are not known to leach carcinogens or endocrine disruptors. Look on the bottom of the bottle for the recycling symbol: polyethylene has #2 (high-density polyethylene, HDPE) or #4 (low-density polyethylene, LDPE) in the chasing-arrow triangle, and polypropylene (PP) has #5. Polycarbonate bottles are #7 and may be labeled “Other” or “PC.” If the bottle isn’t labeled, call the manufacturer.
PES Plastics: Although polyether sulphone, or PES, hasn’t been studied as thoroughly as #2, #4 and #5 plastics, lab studies have found that it does not leach BPA or phthalates (a hormone-disrupting plasticizer commonly used in #3 PVC plastics). PES plastics may be labeled with a #7 like polycarbonate is, since both plastics fall into the “Other” category. If you see a #7 and aren’t sure if it’s PES or PC, call the manufacturer before using it.
Silicone Nipples: Replace standard rubber nipples (amber-colored) with clear, silicone nipples. Not only are silicone nipples free of cancer-causing nitrosamines, but they last longer.
-
Before first use, sterilize bottles in boiling water.
-
Inspect bottles and nipples before each use and discard those with cracks or scratches.
-
To avoid dangerous hot spots, breast milk or formula should never be heated in the microwave. Stovetop heating can cause glass bottles to burst and plastic ones to melt, especially when supervised by sleep-deprived parents. Instead, place the filled bottle in a bowl of hot water and swirl it periodically.
-
To avoid tooth decay and injuries, don’t let baby sleep with or walk around with the bottle.

Creating a line of bisphenol A free baby bottles was our way of taking direct action where we saw a need. But while addressing a single concern is a positive step, we believe our responsibility cannot end there. In order to address the problems associated with the effects of toxic chemicals on human health and on the environment, we must join together with the larger community of those who are working for a greener and safer world. Not just for our children, though they are certainly the most vulnerable in every sense, but for all of us.
We are great believers in the power of knowledge and the necessity of direct action.

Bummas: Eco Friendlly Baby Wipes
April 3rd, 2009 — Babies
The easiest way to prevent diaper rash is to keep that area dry, but wipes leave that cute tushie all wet. That’s where Bummas ($17 for 10) come in handy. They are little, 5×7″ rectangles of soft, 100% cotton fabric. They’re velvety soft on one side and terry-cloth-like loops on the other. Just use them after the wipe to dry baby completely and toss them in the laundry. They wash up nicely and return to their original softness, with no shriveling or unraveling whatsoever. And they’re made in the USA. I know you could cut up washcloths yourself, but the edges would fray when you wash them. Trust me. I know this from experience. Bummas come all rolled up in a cute pack of coordinating colors so I love them for a shower gift.
Other Great Uses:
• Convenient shoulder armor for burping and feeding.
• Take them with you for quick clean-ups.
• So soft and supple, it’s perfect for their little noses.
• Great for baths as a baby wash cloth!

Disposable Diapers more "Green" then Cloth Diapers
October 24th, 2008 — Babies
A government report that found old-fashioned reusable nappies damage the environment more than disposables has been hushed up because ministers are embarrassed by its findings.
The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) has instructed civil servants not to publicise the conclusions of the £50,000 nappy research project and to adopt a “defensive” stance towards its conclusions.
The report found that using washable nappies, hailed by councils throughout Britain as a key way of saving the planet, have a higher carbon footprint than their disposable equivalents unless parents adopt an extreme approach to laundering them.
To reduce the impact of cloth nappies on climate change parents would have to hang wet nappies out to dry all year round, keep them for years for use on younger children, and make sure the water in their washing machines does not exceed 60C.
The conclusions will upset proponents of real nappies who have claimed they can help save the planet. Restricted Whitehall documents, seen by The Sunday Times, show that the government is so concerned by the “negative laundry options” outlined in the report, it has told its media managers not to give its conclusions any publicity.
The report found that while disposable nappies used over 2½ years would have a global warming , impact of 550kg of CO2 reusable nappies produced 570kg of CO2 on average. But if parents used tumble dryers and washed the reusable nappies at 90C, the impact could spiral to . 993kg of CO2 A Defra spokesman said the government was shelving plans for future research on nappies.
