    Organic nappies

    Annabelle is now toilet trained, but when she was in nappies I used 'natures child' they're organic nappies.
    I also use their wipes
    The problem is these dont come in newborn size. I think they start at 9kgs, or something like that.
    My question is where can I find organic newborn nappies? I dont mind ordering online either. I really need to stock up though, haven't got ANY newborn nappies organised

    "organic" is not a word, i would use, to describe disposable nappies - even the "green" brands. Bleach wise, and what the packaging is made out of = yeh, but the landfill part - no.

    "organic" assumes the product will break down and go back into the earth.

    it is illegal to put poo nappies in compost - so you can't compost the poo nappies, and for my nb, that was MOST of her nappies.

    to compost the wee nappies, you have to destroy the "green" disposable, and tear the absorbent bits into tiny pieces, i don't think most people would want to do that.

    we used bambo nature disposables for the first five days in hospital, and every used one of those went to landfill. i felt much happier when at home, where i could use the bamboo prefolds and nb PUL covers with leg gussets, once gone thru the washing machine - they came out like brand new, they got used thousands of times, and then got used on other babies when they didn't fit my child anymore. it was easy (using a LIttle squirt to put the poo down the loo, and a working washing machine).

    just putting it out there, there are other alternatives.
