Do you want to be environmentally friendly but you’re not brave enough for cloth diapers? I have not found 100% biodegradable diapers but Nature BabyCare is as close as it gets! They are eco-friendly and compostable. These diapers are made out of natural materials and are chlorine free and very absorbent. They have a great texture and feel very soft against my little ones tushy. Sebastian has been know to have some pretty incredible blow out diapers, but Nature Babycare has held its own. The only thing you need to be mindful of is the European sizing. Most of the time you will need to go up a size despite the weight guidelines on the packaging. If your baby has “chicken thighs” like mine, the legs fit really well and I have not had any problems with leakage. If your diapers leak, you probably need to go up a size, especially with boys. The only downside of Nature Babycare is that they are hard to find at local stores. I buy them by the case through Diapers.com with free next day delivery. If you add TAKEFIVER at checkout you receive a $5.00 discount on every case. The number of diapers varies per case depending on the size you need. Right now I am getting a 108 count case of Size 4 diapers for $43.99. They are also available through Amazon.com for about the same price. Nature Babycare also makes wonderful Eco-sensitive Baby Wipes. A 700 count refill is $23.99. I love the Sensitive Wipes with Lotion and the Aloe Baby Wipes. Both sell for $29.99 for a 700 count refill.
To keep Sebastian’s room smelling fresh, I highly recommend the Diaper Dekor Plus Size Pail. Retails for $31.99 at Diapers.com and at most baby stores. This is the simplest diaper disposal system around. Just step on the petal, drop the diaper in the pail and you’re done. The unique rubber sealed trapdoor locks odors inside the pail and there are no batteries or filters to replace. The reusable cartridge makes changing the bags easy. The refill bags are biodegradable and one refill lasts for about 40 diaper changes. The refill bags sell for about $15.99 for a two pack. Now I feel “green” about my diaper changes because I am using both biodegradable diapers and biodegradable bags to dispose of the diapers. A win for my baby’s carbon footprint!
Don’t you hate it when you open a fresh pack of wipes and within a few days they are already dry! My best solution for this problem is the Prince LionHeart Wipes Warmer. It is the ultimate nursery accessory. Not only does it keep your baby wipes warm but also moist , non-browning and anti-microbial. Simply drop in a stack of your favorite wipes, and the warmer keeps them fresh. It is thermostatically controlled so as not to be too warm for baby’s delicate skin. The wipes warmer is about $31 and the replacement pillows are $10 for two. You can purchase this at many baby store or on Diaper.com Treat your baby’s bottom to this since it’s especially nice for those cold, middle of the night diaper changes. You won’t regret it!
What are your favorite diapers?
