Remember those old days when our mothers or aunts used to hang those cloth diapers of our siblings on the clothesline to dry? There would be a number of them lined up, all white and squeaky clean after they were washed again and again. And then came the diapers, disposable ones, which made the workload lesser for the mother but increased the distress for our poor little ones who cried all the time due to the sweat and rashes given by them diapers. Still people preferred to use the cloth diaper as it was cheaper, environmentally friendly and even baby friendly. However, the most important and newest invention are the eco friendly diapers, which are not only a great option for the environment but also a healthier choice for our babies.
Babies change at least 8-12 diapers a day. Thus, as a parent you need diapers that are reliable, keep the baby happy and of course, keep you from cleaning the leaks all the time. While buying a diaper one should be sure that you are not only thinking about your time-saved, but more about your baby’s vulnerable skin. So here we have, for all new moms as well as the moms of the world, a whole new range of eco friendly, baby and mom-friendly ‘Green’ diaper options.
1. Happy Heiny– Pocket Diapers
These diapers come with a pocket. The advantage of this pocket is that, you can insert a washable fabric in the pocket to make this diaper even more absorbent. This fabric, slips into the pocket and works like magic, while keeping the diaper fresh and the baby happy. The pocket is also designed in a way that it holds the insert properly. These diapers are produced by Happy Heiny.
