As the dishwasher is cleaning plates, cups and utensils our little ones eat off, using non toxic products can make a huge difference to health! Even the more “non toxic” and “natural” options online all contained fragrance and other chemicals. It was hard

A question I hear often from parents starting the weaning journey is: "Can my baby have sourdough? Or "is there a softer version that's better for them?" The truth is, your baby doesn't actually need soft bread at this stage. Let me explain... Hard, toasted bread is actually safer for babies than soft bread.
