Create Your Organic Baby Nursery

Article Written By: EllenValentine,CNC

A new baby is a beautiful and indescribable blessing to any family. Months of anticipation lead up to an indescribable day for families in-waiting. Babies go from the warm, safe and very recognizable environment of mom's womb to the outside world. Will the outside environment be as supportive as mom's body?

Once at home your baby may be faced with an endless array of gifts from family, friends and coworkers that are not safe. Unless you specify during pregnancy that your baby will be wrapped in only the safest and best 100% cotton organic materials possible you will receive lots of gifts in blankets and crib materials that will not be so supportive for a newborn. Let people know early on your preferences for organic and green. This will ensure safe and cozy crib bedding for your sweet baby. Why cotton and why organic?

Certain clothes, especially permanent press, wrinkle free and water resilient fabrics are dipped or sprayed in formaldehyde, which is also used as embalming fluid. Many fabrics on sofas, chairs and carpets are preserved with harmful chemicals such as formaldehyde. Formaldehyde has some alias names to look for: Formalin, Methanal, Methyl aldehyde, Methylene oxide, Morbicid acid and Oxymethylene. In any home, and especially next to the baby in the crib or anywhere in nursery decor, the materials will have a direct impact on the health and long term safety of a small child.

With constant contact, any person, and especially a small person will acquire sensitivities. These are simply put, allergies. Without constant mineralization and good enzymes, they will get progressively worse throughout life.

An allergic reaction can appear as benign as a slight skin rash, or unbearable dermatitis. Allergies can also come on unexpectedly as a life threatening asthma attack or anaphylactic shock. Unexplained and unsuspected symptoms are not how you want your infant to start life.

The best way to insure a healthy environment for the entire home, starting with baby is fine though, is to buy 100% cotton, organic and from a reputable company. There are many listed in the green directories, online and most search engines.

Healthy mineral and enzyme-rich foods are the very best insurance in warding off allergies. This because it is not possible to protect a child from every pollutant. Good natural health is not about weakness, rather it is the producing of strength and stamina through decisions for a healthy lifestyle.

No parent knowingly wants to harm their child; yet, even in the best intentioned families there are always possibilities as a child grows that he or she will be introduced to toxic materials. The idea in natural health is to create strength while still taking measures to create a healthy world. Healthy, mineral and enzyme-rich foods are the very best insurance in warding off allergies.

What mom eats will make a difference too for breast fed babies. Moms have the job to eat mineal-rich diets prenatal, when breast feeding and afterwards. This especially so because all of the best goes to the baby while a woman i breast feeding.

What to Do If You Suspect Allergies?

It is most crucial when it comes to small children and older seniors to stop all contact with the irritant causing the allergy. It is known in the healing community that a little goes a long way with both the old and the young, whether it is good or bad.

The body is equipped with digestive juice factories. Some are located in the mouth, some in the stomach, some juices that digest travel from the liver and pancreas through the hepatopancreatic duct to supply digestive help in the duodenum, the first part of the small intestine. Even though proteins are the building blocks for the body, without the minerals and enzymes needed to digest and utilize the proteins it is useless to over-proteinize the system.

Minerals and enzymes, found naturally in raw or lightly cooked foods, are the beginning building blocks to life. Now, why did I not say proteins when I know proteins are the bodys building blocks? The body is equipped with digestive juice factories. Some are located in the mouth, some in the stomach, some juices that digest travel from the liver and pancreas through the hepatopancreatic duct to supply digestive help in the duodenum, the first part of the small intestine.

During times of allergy outbreak, and I would add always, dairy should be avoided completely, along with any food that looks white or colorless, processed meats, canned or pre-packaged foods and sugars. In addition, having a good naturopath or nutritional counselor will create the support the parent needs to do the right thing for children who struggle with health.

Precautions and Solutions

Creating Green Environments is going to be our best ally for the future. Begin small and add on something new each month.

Eating whole and natural creates whole Human Beings. If you are pregnant or a new parent, begin now. Begin throwing out dead foods and replace them one by one with live food. Get children involved in the food process. As they grow they will carry these good habits forward.

Create an organic nursery for your organic and healthy baby. This is a new beginning for your entire family, no matter whether you are expecting child #1 or #5.

Look for whole and green everywhere. Expect the best and insist upon it. To Your Best Health, Ellen Valentine, CNC
