Children are a true gift from God! It is our job as parents to provide the healthiest and safest environment for them. In the world we live in today, easier said than done, right? While I’m past the “baby” years, I have a few friends and family members that are about to embark on a journey of either starting parenthood or a continuation. Congratulations to my cousin, who just gave birth to her beautiful baby girl yesterday! I would like to take some time to share a few bits of information I wish I had when starting my family! Protecting our children doesn’t have to be an overwhelming, difficult endeavor. It begins with being informed and then acting on that knowledge.
I have gathered the following articles from various health-minded sites that give helpful tips to protect our little ones.
