Wednesday, December 17th, 2008

We just made the Last-Minute Gift Guide on Gruntlings, a great site proclaiming itself “all things baby and child.” We’re really proud of the review, especially the comments about how Lafe’s is a safer option for baby, between the products’ organic makeup and the baby-safe plastic we choose to package them in.

Sobering Stories About How Chemicals Affect Infants

Monday, March 31st, 2008

At ExpoWest, people kept coming up to me and sharing stories about how chemicals in plastics, they believe, are having horrible effects on babies.
