Due March 09 Pregnancy Buddies

[Jus]

Hello ladies,

I was just wondering if any of you are planning to be eco-friendly when your LO arrives? I just found the eco-friendly product sub forum and was really pleased it existed, but it's utterly deserted! I feel all lonely at the prospect of being the only B&Ber in there... talking to myself about real nappies and Ecover products!

I am going to use real nappies and I already use ecover

I'm really keen on using 'real' nappies as much as possible. I think there will be the odd time when disposables are easier (when out and about for e.g.), but I am determined to be as eco-friendly as possible. Or at least that's the plan right now who knows what will happen when all hell breaks loose come March time!

I didn't realise there was an eco sub-forum on here so am off to find it right now.

My friend just made a suggestion that you can use real nappies at home but keeop disposables in for when you go out. I don't go out alot in the day time so I suppose that is a real option. I have always used disposables you see and this will be my 4th and last baby so I don't want to spend £300 in one go for a load of stuff that isn't going to get used after 2 yrs! It's given me something to think about for now anyway so thanks for that xxx

Sure, I intend to have a few disposables on hand for when out and about too. But I'll be getting them here: https://www.spiritofnature.co.uk/acatalog/biodegradablenappies.html

I was thinking about using real nappies this time. I Used disposable nappies with my DS but I'm more aware of the fact they take up to 25 years to biodegrade, I also thought they will work out cheaper in the long run too. I haven't looked into it yet though...might start doing that soon!!!

Estimates range from 40 to 500 years for a disposable nappy to decompose.

Shifter - thanks for the link to Spirit of Nature; it would be great to be as eco-friendly as poss with the disposable nappies.

I only want one baby so that was of concern to me, but I think it will still be cheaper and shifter did point out I could sell them afterwards. I am very lucky because the toys R us in town sell eco disposables if I get stuck, and also there is a nappy washing service nearby that delivers the clean nappies to your door so you don't have to buy or wash the nappies. I'm definitely giving it a go.

No probs, happy to help

Aww hun, the changing dates are annoying aren't they? I just decided after talking to loads of people that the scans are really unreliable. One friend advanced over two weeks between scans that were 6 days apart when she had complications earlier this year.

Pick a date you like and stick to that if you want hun. We won't tell ;-)

 

[mummymadness]

Lol ...
Good thinking Shifter hun , Hummmm now i have to think wich date i like the best . Hoping they can see bits on my sexing scan on 28th so if they can dates dont bother me .
Allthow i havent a clue when to move over to second tri with such confusing dates lol .
xxxx.

I've drifted over to 2nd now. Got pretty bored of the topics in 1st. There's only so many times you can contribute to MS threads! I'll probably feel the same at the end of 2nd tri too!

I hope scans are unreliable because mine put me back to march 9th - which is my OH's dead granddads birthday. His family are dead chuffed and excited. I must be really horrible because I totally don't want my baby sharing a birthday with a dead relative especially if they are going to go on about it in front of the kiddo,I find it a bit weird. I'm crossing my legs if I go into labour on the 9th.


sorry to hear you were burgled mummymadness, that's horrible!
