Disposable nappies account for a shocking amount of global waste. What’s more, they expose babies to artificial chemicals whose long-term effects are unknown. But many parents are hesitant to switch to eco friendly nappies, worrying that they are too expensive, difficult or messy to be practical. With these five easy strategies, you can switch to cloth nappies without hurting your budget or your lifestyle.
Pocket nappies are by far the best nappy choice for your baby. They are a compact, environmentally friendly, one-size fits through to the toddler years option. The small size of the inserts and the ability to fold the nappy shell mean no more bulky bags to tote around, and best of all, no more plastic disposables to take a toll on the environment. Here are a few reasons why cloth pocket nappies are a great idea for you and your baby and some ideas on how to get your hands on them!
It might be scary to actually count all the nappies you’ve used all through your baby’s growth. Multiply that with two or three or four kids and the amount is indescribable. It makes sense now why parents would like to potty train their children as soon as possible. It makes even more sense now why disposable nappies are sought after, due to their user-friendliness.
Cost, cleanliness, convenience and health are among the reasons why a mother chooses a particular diaper. Cloth nappies specially are available in various types now. Some will or will not need you to add some covers or inserts. Let’s take a look at a few styles.
Are you aware of the fact that approximately 5,000 nappies are used before a baby is properly potty trained? And are you aware of the fact that it takes two hundred years for a nappy to degrade? And has it ever occurred to you that if all of the babies were to use disposable nappies, it would take a total of one million years before all of those nappies can be disposed!
