The name of this guide may sound familiar to you if you’re familiar with Heidi Murkoff’s What to Expect Series. Actually, Heidi worked with The What to Expect Foundation and Clorox to develop the “What to Expect: Guide to a Healthy Home” in 2006. The “What to Expect Healthy Home Growth Chart” is a new supplement to the original healthy home guide that’s shorter and is broken down by your child’s age.
A few healthy tips from the guide include:
- Set up small changing stations with baby wipes and diapers in multiple rooms in your house to make diaper changing easier on you… especially if you have multiple floors.
- Disinfect frequently-touched surfaces in the home – such as doorknobs, light switches and hard toys – with disinfecting wipes to help prevent the spread of germs.
- If a stuffed toy isn’t machine-washable, put it in a plastic bag in the freezer overnight to help get rid of dust mites.
Try this neat trick: The last page of the guide is a great print-out for moms to post on the fridge or distribute to playgroup members for quick tips.
