Green Baby Diapers

Just a quick recommendations on the green diapers:

If you live in Seattle, WA area, looking for a diaper service, I would just tell you that I absolutely loved the services that Seattle Diaper Services provided. They have excellent customer service, and the delivery driver was also knowledgeable and even recommended me when to switch to a bigger size (which was very helpful for me as a first time mom, not knowing much). The price is about the same as buying disposable diapers, if you are using cloth diapers exclusively.

If you are thinking about hybrid diapers, gDiapers were excellent for me and my little one. You can actually choose to use cloth inserts, or biodegradable/disposable/flushable/compostable inserts. Although, if you live in an older house with concrete sewer pipe, you might want to consider not flushing down in the toilet, because it might get caught on the rough surface of the pipe and plug it up... (yes, it happened to us... and in fact, we can't use one of the two toilets right now... at least we have one functional one, lol)



If you want the convenience of disposable without washing anything, first one I recommend would be Nature Babycare Eco-Friendly Diapers. The material is natural and biodegradable. Diapers are as soft as other leading brands. It definitely holds a lot, without leaking. My 2-1/2 year old daughter hates diaper changes, and she just does not let me change her diaper for 5 - 6 hours from time to time... But I'm happy to say that it has never leaked!

There are other green disposable diapers like Seventh Generation, Earth's Best, Attitude, etc. Also, I heard that Broody Chick is the only diaper that is 100% biodegradable, and other green diapers are not 100% or takes a lot longer to degrade. I haven't found if that's a true statement or not myself, but I thought it's worth mentioning. At least above mentioned are chlorin-free, which means they don't bleach their diapers in order not to produce dioxin, a cancer causing chemical.

If you have any other favorite diaper of yours, I would love your opinions and suggestions in the comment below.

Happy Friday!!!

Baby Steps toward Being Green

I've always tried to be eco-friendly where I can, although I could do more. But having a baby definitely made me more conscious about environment and sustainability. I like gathering information here and there, looking for ways to live greener, healthier, and more natural for my family. I'm hoping to share the knowledge and experience I've gathered with as many people as I can.

Between the busy every day routines, my energetic pre-schooler, and my lovely husband, I'm not always stepping forward. In fact, I've stepped backwards from time to time for convenience and lack of time. But as I'm learning to make more time for myself and manage time better, I'm doing more of what I can do to make this Earth a better place for the next generations to come. Like I said in my recent article, "How To Choose to Go Green With Baby Diapers" on StreetArticles.com, the important thing is for you and your baby to be happy, while doing the best in the situation to be green. And this is one of the things I can do to spread the green!
