Parents can take several steps to minimize plastic exposure for their children:
1. Avoid Plastic Toys: Choose toys made from natural materials like wood or cloth. 2. Use Reusable Products: Opt for reusable snack bags, water bottles, and food containers. 3. Cook Fresh: Limit the use of pre-packaged foods that come in plastic containers. 4. Read Labels: Avoid products with harmful chemicals like BPA, PVC, and phthalates. 5. Cloth Diapers: Consider using cloth diapers instead of disposable ones.
