If you are already a Tribal Mama, you know how bath products can be toxic for both you and your baby.  But where to start?  PEG-100?  Polysorbate 80?  Sodium Lauryl Sulfate? Or... Sodium Laureth Sulfate?

No need for a panic attack.  Here are three simple places to start weeding your baby bath products (and Mama beauty stuff!).

Baby's First Bath

This video looks like it comes from somewhere in France.  It is so sweet and peaceful the way this woman gives these babies their first baths.  My favorite part is how careful she is to cover the baby's face without getting water in their noses.  This active consciousness is the kind of care I want to be giving my children when caring for them.  I felt like I was watching a new communion of soothing between the caregiver and the babies, and she was welcoming them into the world by giving them a type of nostalgia of what life was like sometime before that difficult time of labor and birth.
