Hi Sharon,

I use the bio-dreadable nappies, i think they are called nature-care you can get them from sainsburys and also Tesco's, they cost the same as the other nappies and i find that they work just as good you need to ensure that you get the same brand nappy sacks too!!

Take care

Hey girls Im having a moral dilemma with the nappies. I feel I shouldnt be adding to the landfill mountains by adding hundreds of disposable nappies, that will take 100yrs to degrade and give off poisonous pollutants. Whereas mums are telling me that the reuseable ones are soo time consuming with the washing and drying, why would you be bothered they ask. Also the fact that when baby is small that their poo/nappies are a bit runny to put it politely!lol I was thinking the biodegradable disposable would be handy for the 1st few weeks and then onto the reuseable ones.

Any thoughts on this one girls...do you feel bad about adding to the landfill heaps or does the convenience/quality of disposables far outway any moral obligations? Just would be interested to hear if anyone has compared them. Thanks for any views.

"Thanks girls "

Thanks for the feedback girls! I purchased the tots bots bumper pack on the cleangreennappyco as they had 20% off offer on... (I noticed that babys R Us are doing them also) - so they should do me for ages when littlin comes along. The eco-disposables dont seem to be just as handy got, have tried my local Asda and they dont do them...might ring them about that....must try Tesco to see if they do them!

Thanx again...Sharon..26wks today pink bump xx

Hi,

We have decided on the eco nappies. I think they have come a long way since the olden days. The liners for the ones we are having are flushable and bio-degradable. Also I have heard that as the reusable nappies keep them damper for longer, they potty train a lot quicker the disposable.

We have bought the following (£230 for 20) Also if you look into it, your local council might offer you a nappy service. Our one gives you £30 if you go with re-usable ones!

Pop-In Multi Saver Pack: (10 white & 10 yellow)

Containing 20 complete birth-to-potty size nappies, 6 dri-night boosters to ensure a dry night every night, 2 small tote bags and 2 rolls of liners. The Multisaver pack is all the nappies you'll ever need right from birth to potty!

The Pop-In nappy is a unique hybrid nappy system; a cross between an all-in-one nappy and a two-part system, the inner soaker poppers inside the outer shell so that it comes apart for easy washing and drying and cleverly goes back together again ready to simply fasten around your baby. This is a birth-to-potty nappy; there are 3 sets of poppers carefully positioned on the front of the nappy to adjust the size setting for your baby. The nappy fastens with stretchy aplix tabs for a snug and reliable fit at any age. The inner soaker is made from soft bamboo which is a super absorbent material, so less bulk is needed to achieve the same absorbency as cotton, making this a wonderfully slimline nappy.

Hi
when i was pregnant i had this dilemma...well more the dilemma of what washables to get as i was pretty sure i didnt want to be contributing to landfill!!

in the end i got a birth to potty kit form little lambs.....my wee boy is 6 weeks old now and i've been using the nappies since he was 5 days (waited for his umbilical stump to drop off first) I'm really pleased with them...but have found that i prefer to use biodegradable disposables when out and about as his poo is so runny i dont want to carry around any poo nappies! i've been using nature-care and really like them.

there is the extra washing to consider but i'm finding it managable just now, especially with the better weather.

i really dont think there's any need to be using non biodegradable disposables and adding to landfill...not to mention the nasty chemicals in them.....but then that's just one of a million things that's not so impressive about our society these days!! grrrrr

ive always used disposables simply because of being out and about so much but my sister uses the ready made towling nappies and she loves them she has a few bio degradable ones just incase but otherwise she swears by them, i think they are much easier now than they were when you had to fold them etc i could never get the hang of those

i had the same thoughts and have decided i will use the reuseable ones(terry toweling) while im in doors at home and disposables for when im out and about.. i feel useing resuable ones when they do have the runny nappies would be easyer as it can be washed and it wont mean filling landfill with them and saves money.
hope it helps
