The Peaceful Nursery

From WSFS Alumni Laura Forbes Carlin and Alison Forbes Houlihan:

There is no better time to create a healthy, eco-friendly home than when preparing for the arrival of a new baby. Babies are less able to cope with the toxins in their environment than those of adults. However, with all the best intentions, many parents unknowingly buy furnishings and toys that contain chemicals that are unhealthy for their child and for the planet.

Many of the materials we use to decorate our homes such as bed linens, curtains, carpets, mattresses, etc… can contain chemicals, such as formaldehyde, and can give off toxic fumes for years. Even toys and clothing designed for babies contain these same toxic chemicals.

However, now more than ever, stylish, healthy, green alternatives are available. With our up-to-date research we will help you determine and locate the best of what is available – guiding you to select what you need (and do not need), we will help you create a healthy, peaceful sanctuary for you and your baby.
