babies and bumps

Looks like celebrity babies have been getting top of the line spa treatment lately. that Kingston s mama Gwen Stefani as well as Ramona s mommy Maggie Gyllenhaal have been treating their babies to organic skin products.

From baby oil to diaper rash cream to gentle baby wash, celebrity moms are crazy about these . Brooke Shields doesn t just love them for being organic, either, I didn t think my babies could get any softer, she says of daughters Rowan and Grier.
We ve asked Nature s Gate for some samples of their products, which aren t just for babies.

They have for big kids like us, too. We can t wait to try it out. They tell us Rebecca Romijn, Alicia Silverstone, Jenna Fischer, and Tori Spelling are already big fans.

Something else that I like to : they don t test on animals, don t use animal byproducts, and use containers that are recyclable or made of recycled materials. Famous moms and moms-to-be got together at this event in LA (Skybar at Mondrian) to benefit the . This non-profit exists to educate parents about environmental toxins that affect children s health.

On the CHEC blog, you can learn tips on how to make your children s environment a better one.
Other famous parents in attendance, James Denton and wife, Erin O Brien; EXTRA s Dayna Devon, Leeza Gibbons, and Niecy Nash.
Thanks for the tip, Christopher!

I can see how these issues start. You (famous celebrity hot-mama) are sitting down with someone from a magazine. You ve recently given birth to the most beautiful baby in the world (aren t they all?), and the person interviewing you wants to know your secrets.

So you tell them.
You may be Gwyneth Paltrow who told a mag a few months ago that a certain brand of organic pre-natal vitamins makes you glow, no matter if you are preggers or not. I m pretty sure that will cause no Paltrow fans any harm.

You may be actually providing real, helpful advice like Christy Turlington who insists on the importance of using only organic or environmentally friendly shampoos and lotions on one s infant according to .
Some just sound like a product endorsement, like when Salon tells us that Felicity Huffman kneads the tired muscles of her two young daughters with Burt s Bee apricot massage oil.
Or, you may be causing a big uproar when you (Rachel Weisz) it s fine to drink alcohol while knocked up.

On my continent, that is a very controversial statement, and nonetheless, something that you should not decide to do because Rachel said it s cool.
I can see how these pieces of advice pop out and I get it. Whether you are getting married, pregnant, or a mom, people can t help but give you advice.

Some of it s good, some of it s strange, and some of it should go in one ear and out the other. Same should go for advice from the rich and famous. Listen to it, but do your own research and make the decision on your own.

Nigerian priest Boniface Duru is in Malta to raise money and seek volunteers. He says that Africa doesn t need used materials it needs money and people. We need to equip the people of Africa with the necessary resources to be able to address the problems in their countries.

The time has come for people to really know what Africa needs. They no longer need to send used materials and bread, he said.
He says that the only way to bring about change is to allow children to go to school and receive an education.

He started an organization a few years ago, , to help accomplish this.
So, what s he think of Madonna s recent adoption of baby David? The organization is opposed to adoption of African children.

When they are taken away from their country, they find it hard to return. We cannot always depend on Europeans and Americans to come in and bring a change. We need the Africans themselves to be able to do that.

That is why they have to know the needs of the place. The only way to bring about change is if they are brought up there, said Fr Duru.
In a final slam against our celebrities, the article states:
Asked whether celebrities who were trying to raise awareness of the problems in Africa were bringing about any change, Fr Duru said they were just using Africa to help them in their quest for fame.

Ouch.

Let s just say that celebrity babies are starting off on the right foot when it comes to being environmentally-friendly. Sure, we can thank their moms and dads for the initiative, but hopefully an organic first-impression will carry on throughout their lives.

Of course, mom and dad aren t the only ones to thank we can also thank the businesses that send these dysfunctional happy families some free organic love to try. For instance, gift baskets sent by BabyBoutique.biz were delivered to Angelina Jolie, Jennifer Garner, Gwyneth Paltrow, Brook Shields, Katie Holmes, Maggie Gyllenhal, and Gwen Stefani featuring organic and fair trade products by .

We hope by incorporating environmental education with our 100% organic products, that our customers will not only get the amazing quality they desire but the endangered species from around the world finally get the attention they deserve, says Kristen Schwartz, co-owner of Joli Bebe Boutique. Joli Bebe Boutique uses cotton grown organically by a group of farmers in India. The seamstresses work in a sweatshop-free environment to sew each piece and bring the line to life.
