Description
The experiences and environments that shape babies’ first 1,000 days – from conception to their second birthday – play a crucial role in influencing their future health.
In this vulnerable stage, babies are routinely exposed to harmful chemicals and plastic products during their hospital care from items that could have safer alternatives like disinfectants, plastic gloves and disposable gowns. Exposure can lead to severe and lasting health issues, from chronic diseases, diabetes and even cancer, as babies’ defence systems are not yet developed.
We believe all babies should and can be born in healthcare environments that are free from unnecessary and harmful plastics and toxic chemicals – so that they can develop healthily and thrive. Over the next three years, we’re embarking on a one-of-a-kind project to make this a reality.
