Does anyone have a recommendation for wipes?

[Anonymous]

why do they have to put all that crap into everything?

when we used wipes, i just went with 7th generation to hedge my bets...

I think parabens are used as preservatives, to prevent bacteria/etc.

I think pthalates (I know it's spelled wrong) are used as fixers for fragrances.

Yes, but they are hormone/endocrine interrupters. They will make mah boy a gurl.

There are four brands of "green" wipes at Diapers.com. I think Whole Foods and Babies R Us sell these brands as well.

Earth's Best, 7th Generation, Nature Baby Care and Tushies

Have the organic bath products been known to have harmful bacteria if they don't use parabens?

Yes, I have read something along those lines. Plus many of the organic bath products are not regulated or FDA approved.

PP here. Here's an example of problems with organic (and some commercial) products. Lavender and tea tree oils make boys' breasts grow. Here's an ABC News report:

Go to The Environmental Working Group's web site where they rank and list all of the products that we use by category. Suncare, shampoo, moisturizers etc and also categorize by children. It's extremely helpful and informative.

was there any soap before they put these two together?

We use Method Baby Bath products. Not organic but do not contain parabens, pathlates or BPA in the bottle.

This subject was just on the news - they are saying that the trace amounts should not be of concern but you have every right to use what you are comfortable with.
