When you're expecting a baby, I'm sure you're super conscious of what you eat, drink, and even breathe! But have you considered the potential risks lurking in your cleaning products? Many common household cleaners contain toxic chemicals linked to congenital disorders and future health issues in babies.
According to Pregnancy Birth & Baby, some chemicals found in everyday cleaning products can have harmful consequences on the health of you and your baby.
If you breathe or swallow some chemicals, they can enter your bloodstream and pass to your baby via the placenta.
Your baby can also be exposed to chemicals after they are born through breastmilk. Or any other objects or surfaces that they get close to.
For these reasons, It’s particularly important to be conscious of the chemicals you're using while you're pregnant or breastfeeding.
When cleaning, steer clear of products containing:
1. Bisphenol A (BPA)
2. Artificial Fragrances
3. Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)
4. Phthalates
5. Formaldehyde
6. Sodium Hypochlorite (found in bleach)
These chemicals are commonly found in:
- Everyday cleaners
- Disinfectants
- Dish soap
