Presentation:
Creating a Safe, Non-Toxic Home for Baby—Without Overwhelm
Expecting a baby is exciting and overwhelming. From cleaning products to personal care, it can feel like every item in your home needs to be “baby-safe.” Naturopathic doctors Dr. Stephanie Zelembaba and Dr. Denise Handscomb will guide you through creating a safe, healthy environment for your little one, without unnecessary stress or expense.
You’ll learn which toxins to really watch for, what products are worth investing in, and simple swaps that make a real difference. We’ll also cover everyday habits and home environments that support baby’s health, from air quality to laundry choices. By the end of this talk, you’ll have a clear, manageable plan to reduce chemical exposures in your home while keeping it realistic and affordable.
Whether you’re in early pregnancy or preparing for a newborn, this session will leave you feeling informed, empowered, and ready to create a non-toxic, baby-friendly space, one small change at a time.
