Disposables are the devils work!

[discodolly]

Just had to announce this!! Just come back from hols and put DD in disposables as I couldn't be bothered washing cottons while away and my god they really are sh*te!!! They stink of chemicals, I had gel stuff oozing out of them, she got nappy rash and ended up doing loads of washing from the explosive poos which ended up all over her clothes. Couldn't wait to get home and put her in her lovely, fluffy, big bummed Tots. Aaar rant over!!

Hmm... I quite like the pushchair. I like not having to carry my bag.
Ds has dyspraxia and wouldn't have been toilet trained by 15months even if I spent every waking minute putting him on a potty.

haven't you ever noticed that the more you try to get your child to do something, the more they resist? strange but true.

Don't know what the average potty training age is these days, but if it was 3 and everyone managed to reduce this to 2, then landfill reduced by 33%
Now I'm off for a bottle of wine instead of thinking about such things on a Friday night!

lol Ericblack...not automatically..... but some people just are...and caring about the environment doesn't automatically make you a nice person either!

Sorry for the delay in replying.... can't get online at home and it's driving me mental!!!

Agreed. Spoils it for the rest of us.

who irons nappies?!?!

As for drying - with dd2 - they are line dried BUT then we have the weather for it. Pooey sludge haning around - unlike a lot of places in the UK - my laundry is a separate room to the rest of the house and in fact is downstairs and so whilst soaking the nappies - never get the smell - especially as the poop is flicked into the loo.

WHat a dream - my 3yo is nowhere near ready for toilet training so that is another issue altogether. I don't have the time to be dangling dd1 over the loo everytime I think she needs to go. SO she is contributing to the landfill with her disposables - esp when she was in hospital and having to be changed at least every hour after her reaction to specialised formula.... naughty dd1 {smile]

Aptamil is a type of baby milk, which the hospital recomended to me for my dd as she would barely breastfeed, apparantly it is most like breast milk compared to other baby formulas. and it contains prebiotics to help the babys digestion. dd has got along with it fine btu had to move onto the second stage milk for hungrier babies at 4 month, and she doesn't really like milk that much! (hope i helped)
