Are You Buying Safe Products For Your Kids
14th November 2011 by Babies No CommentsIf you are a new mother, it certainly is understandable if you do not have a clue what to buy first for your baby, what brand to choose, where to buy baby’s things and what to watch out for. You have to remember that although you are buying things for someone who just lies in bed all day and either feeds or sleeps, his things also has to comply with safety standards set by law.
For example, when buying baby shoes, check the inside stitching. Check if they are free from loose threads and loops. I have a friend who bought a mitten for her baby. She noticed that her baby was crying within an hour of wearing those mittens. At first she didn’t realize the cause, she checked for fever, changed the diaper, even tried to feed her baby but nothing worked.
Later, she decided to take off the mittens. When she did, she saw her baby’s toes were all violet and swollen. They accidentally got caught up with the loose threads in the stitching and the thread got wound up tightly on two of her fingers.
This is exactly why there are safety standards even baby stuff has to comply to make sure that baby is safe wearing or using them. When shopping for baby’s bottles, look for bottles that are BPA-free. BPA is an additive for enhancing strength of plastic materials. This substance is harmful when ingested. Studies show that BPA gets gradually mixed along with the milk if the milk is left to stand for more than an hour inside the bottle. This substance is known to be a carcinogen or cancer-causing.
When shopping for baby monitors, it is essential that you look for a good, reliable brand. Make sure it doesn’t fall short of either design or features. Make sure to check the volume and frequency specifications. A good baby monitor should have a good sound pickup and a good range. Look for a baby monitor which has good reception. A baby monitor is worth less if it can’t pickup and transmit sounds loud and clear.
