ons/all-products Learning about the world of non-toxic toys is especially important for young children's developing bodies. Toxic chemicals can harm brain and organ development, so you need to understand which common chemicals to avoid in toys and what some safer alternatives are. 

In the latest episode of The Non-Toxic Mommy Podcast, Yasmine explains why we need to be careful about chemicals in toys, especially for babies. Their developing bodies are more sensitive! 

Yasmine explains everything about nasty toxins, from BPA to flame retardants. And how about those light-up toys keeping the baby awake? Not a good idea.

Luckily, there are safer materials. Wood is excellent, and organic cotton is perfect for stuffies, too. Silicone and natural rubber toys can work in a pinch.

The best part is you don't need to toss everything overnight. Just slowly replace toys with quality wooden and natural items. Fewer toys means more focused play!

This episode will nudge you in the right direction. Your kids will thank you later for making safer choices now.
