They need to start doing their job by making sure these products are safe for our babies.

My daughter has an 8 month old and may be pregnant again, yet I didn't care about this only for my own family but rather for ALL families with babies.

Not only the do the products contain artificial chemicals -- the plastic wrappings shed plastic molecules that have literally reduced male sperm counts by 50% in developed countries (have you ever wondered why all those fertility clinics have sprung up in the last 25 years).
If you don't know what a name is on the list of ingredients for a product is = don't use it.
If it wasn't used 100 years ago, chances are that chemicals have been added.
Go organic -- especially for children and babies!!!!!

Going organic is all well & fine for parents who can afford it, but what of the millions who must shop in discount stores, etc.?!?!?

Here is one of my favorite websites for Baby shampoos http://www.giggle.com/
A lot of their other products are organic too!
