Is it possible to transfer chemicals from my body to my child in utero, and if so, to what degree? Is it possible that my baby boy’s genitalia hasn’t developed properly because of the chemicals I put on my body and/or on him? What really is the impact of the mostly untested chemicals used in everyday skin, hair, beauty, personal, oral and baby care products? Do we really know?
So, why should I be concerned about hormones?
How can they possibly harm my baby?
Our children’s endocrine and detoxification systems
are not developed enough to be able to deal effectively with chemicals and
toxins.
Professor Marc Cohen of the RMIT University in
Melbourne states that one of the quickest ways a woman will detox is through
pregnancy, another is through breast-feeding.
Breast-feeding is by far the absolute best start you can give your child
and I personally encourage all mums to breast feed and to also breast feed for
as long as they can. What I wish to bring awareness to is that it is becoming
increasingly apparent that detoxing prior to conception to avoid transferring
fat soluble chemicals onto our babies in utero and then continuing to do the
same through breast-feeding is one of the best steps you can make to give your
child a healthy, vibrant start to life.
Physiologically
undeveloped –
Baby’s and young
children’s bodily systems are generally underdeveloped compared to those of
adults, in fact research is showing that it takes up to the age of seven for a
baby to develop the ability to detoxify to the degree of an adult.
Babies have a
larger ingestion of food, fluid and air per weight measurement than adults, the
effect of toxins has a much greater ability to inflict harm.
Rapid development
and growth – Growth and development occurs most in the first few years of life and
as a result, any toxins which interfere with systems that are still being
established in the human body can greatly impede development and destroy cells
such as those of the brain and nervous system.
