[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the PP poster who feels like its hard to keep up with he latest info on toxics:

My family generally just goes with the old tried and true materials for everything. Steel, glass, natural fibers, etc.

We figure if our great grandmothers used it, its probably safe and if its a new thing from the last 50 years, we'll likely avoid it. Makes it easy. We use: cotton diapers with wool covers (just like my grandmother did), glass baby bottles, wood toys. We avoid: all plastics.[/quote]

Yes, like the lead paint that our grandmothers used to paint their walls.  Or let's not forgot all the crap that was spewing out of cars before auto emission regulations were seriously implemented in the 70s.  Or let's see...grandma and grandpa were probably blowing cigarette smoke in baby's face without even realizing they were doing anything wrong.

I agree with the general idea that avoiding plastics is a good idea, but I also think it's always going to be something and it always has been something.  And the human race seems to have survived OK.  People just didn't have as much information back then.  Or message boards like DCUM to spread the news.  Honestly, sometimes it sounds completely and utterly wonderful.[/quote]
