| dhirsh, we all freaked when we found out we could have done sth harmful to our unborn children/born children. it's normal for you to have this thought, but i agree with the posts above. if you use it a moderation, i don't think it will matter. but since now that you know theyre harmful (and the fumes are, too) you can start swtching to natural cleanser (baking soda & vinegar do wonders). besides, it's probably better for your baby once he's born that he doesn't breath in so much chemical fumes from the chemical cleaners (if you can smell it, there's fumes - dettol, bleach, windex, vif, etc - all chemicals). i heard of a 3 yr old boy having seizures because the helper was using dettol on everything. once they cut out the chemical cleaners in their household, the boy had no more seizures. of course, there are some kids who are more sensitive. but then, always safe than sorry.
plus, natural cleaners are better for our planet. |
