Episode Details

When your baby puts everything in their mouth, how do you know what's actually safe? This episode breaks down the chemical safety of everyday household objects — from plastic storage crates to brass keys to bamboo spoons. We explore the developmental importance of mouthing, the real risks of BPA and phthalates, and a practical three-question filter parents can use to decide when to intervene. No hype, no panic — just clear materials science for the chaos of babyhood.
