Austim

October 29, 2008

One of my best friends recently told me that her son has Aspergers syndrome. It is on the spectrum of autism. This news really surprised me because I wasn't aware of the number of children affected by autism. Another friend has a child who has asthma, she puts her son in my clothes, and says he can breathe better at night when he is wearing our pure organic garments. A third friend of mine recently told me her child has eczema, and he is fussy because of it, so she is on a mission to solve this. I told her the alternative health things I know, since I have eczema, and she has switched her child to all organic bedding clothes, socks, etc. so she was planning to order a Sama Baby wardrobe for him.

Today I decided to research autism and see if organic cotton clothes can, in fact, help. I found this post on the Autism Society of America website:

Tips of the Day - Clothing

Wash laundry in detergents that are free of bleach, bleach alternatives, perfumes and dyes.
Take tags out of clothing for a child with tactile issues.
Dress your child in plain pajamas without appliqués, raised lettering and pictures.

____________

It's the wash laundry in detergents that are free of bleach, bleach alternatives, perfumes, and dyes --- OUR CLOTHES ARE MADE THAT WAY! As long as you continue to wash them with natural cleaning products, you maintain the purity of the garment.

I'm still researching all these things, but if anyone has any knowledge about this or how we can develop a product to help these moms, please contact me. -Shivani

Hi Sama Baby customers,

Thanks for supporting us these last two years! I am in NYC right now, meeting with my sales reps, with boutiques and stores that want to carry us, as well as magazines. Yesterday I met with Kiwi Magazine - I don't know if you subscribe to it, if not - you should! Check out their website and you'll see why. They are just celebrating their two year anniversary this October -- and we'll be celebrating ours in September.

We are developing a new website for Sama Baby - I just deleted all the other products we used to carry from some great companies. If you are looking for Bella Mama, Earth Mama Angel Baby, or any of the other items we used to carry, please visit www.BugsandBlossoms.com

Keep visiting our blog to get updates on Sama Baby!

Pesticides in Produce

July 31, 2008

Environmental Working Group published an article discussing pesticides in produce and gave the top 12 dirtiest produce, ones that we should buy organic because they have the highest amounts of pesticides used on them. These 12 are Peaches, Apples, Sweet Bell Peppers, Celery, Nectarines, Strawberries, Cherries, Lettuce, Imported Grapes, Pears, Spinach, and Potatoes. They give more information regarding differing produce on their website www.foodnews.org. This is a great reminder of the amounts of pesticides in our daily lives, especially our foods. This list is helpful because I know that sometimes it is hard to buy all things organic and this helps us give priority to those which are heavier on the pesticides and although none is best, as I have said before...baby steps!!!
