Parents can take several steps to minimize their newborn's exposure to environmental toxins:
1. Avoid Smoking: Exposure to secondhand smoke is a leading cause of respiratory issues in newborns. 2. Check for Lead: Ensure that homes, particularly older ones, are free from lead-based paints and other lead sources. 3. Use Safe Products: Opt for baby products that are free from harmful chemicals like BPA and phthalates. 4. Ensure Clean Water: Use water filters to remove contaminants from tap water.
