I can’t even think of how many friends have new babies or will in the next 9 months. Wow.
So for all the new mom-friends out there … saw a good blog discussion today about cloth v. disposable. I even had a friend recently say they were thinking of going the cloth route (an impressive statement … I hope it works out).
Anyway, a 2-part series… I thought the comments at the end were interesting as well:
- How to Choose Green, Eco-Friendly Diapers, Part I (aka: The Case for Disposable Diapers)
- How to Choose Green, Eco-Friendly Diapers, Part II (aka: Cloth Diaper Brands You Can Trust)
To paraphrase for the busy new moms who can’t take the time to read further, it was less about the cloth diapers and more about laundering them well — if they’re being cleaned by a service, do they use chlorine? The writer felt she would be undoing the good unless she could rewash the diapers. As for disposables, she ended up finding a brand she liked (called Tushies).
Food for thought!
Read up on those websites! I know we “Grandma Hopefuls” aren’t supposed to put in our two cents worth; but we ARE still hopeful!
