I had a slap my forhead moment not longer after I posted my BPA free teether and pacifiers post. Why? Because I forgot one very important teether! One of the comments on that post about non-plastic teethers jogged my memory. About a year or so ago I ran across amber teething necklaces.

The report they released called "Baby's Toxic Bottle" discusses how something designed as a synthetic sex hormone has ended up in polycarbonate … [Read more...]
