Sickness and congestion in pregnancy can be troubling when you feel like you have no idea what is safe to take to alleviate symptoms. Luckily, there are a plethora of natural remedies that can help alleviate symptoms for the common cold and recurring congestion. 

The choices we make for our children are very impactful since babies’ neurological development the first few years can is impacted heavily by the chemical exposure around them. They breathe more air per pound than adults, and they have thinner blood-brain barriers, which allows their developing brains to be exposed to more chemicals. Each time we pick an everyday product that’s safer than another, we are reducing our baby’s overall exposures to toxic chemicals that can undermine their health in the short and long term.
