TomsOfMaine I recently started using your toothpaste, my daughter likes to just suck on the toothbrush. Is this okay for her to do? We give her a grain size of toothpaste.
@TheGreenMama What are some EASY DIY skincare ideas for my LO?
To introduce myself, this is Liz. I work at Tom's of Maine on the new Baby items. I have a 2.5 yo and another on the way! Would be happy to answer any questions, looking forward to the chat!
Do you recommend warm or cool mist humidifies, and do they really work. I started using a cool one, but even though I clean it everyday get's damp and is forming a red, residue. I try diluted vinegar to clean it, but only stays clean for 1 day, then it appears again.
And when I am shopping for products, I read the ingredients to make sure everything is so pure, it's edible. Our babies skin can absorb 90% of what goes on it!
