[quote=Anonymous]I think you need to do your homework and figure out what matters and what you can let go.  Plastic toys-- meh.  Get an organic crib mattress because your baby's face is pressed against for a huge portion of their young life.  I'd do organic dairy and maybe meat to avoid the hormones.  Read about the dirty dozen-- the fruits and vegetables that are important to buy organic and those for which it doesn't really matter. Expose your child animals and don't make the environment too sterile.

One thing that's never mentioned but I think is actually a real issue is be careful of toys that make noise.  I don't think noise is regulated very well, and a lot of (especially battery operated) toys are way too loud.  Research shows hearing damage at low levels over time, not just one time exposure to extreme noise.  I worry that years from now, we'll find out that we damaged our children's hearing when they were very young.  This is just my pet bugaboo, but something to consider.  I put masking tape over the sound holes in toys to muffle the volume.[/quote]
