The best summary of
information on nappies that I have found is at:
http://www.allaboutnappies.com/understanding.php
I also have two articles from CHOICE magazine that I can email you if you are
interested. They are: Disposable Nappy Trial (online 02/04), which concludes
that Huggies (at 44c/nappy) are the best disposable nappy, and Nappies (online
08/03) which discusses the costs and environmental impacts of cloth vs
disposable nappies.
Their web site
http://www.choice.com.au/ has links to
other resources such as their baby shopping guide, a book "The CHOICE guide to
baby products" ($15), and a free checklist that covers what you need to take to
hospital, etc.
Another useful guide to baby products is the Nappy Bag Book
http://www.nappybag.com.au/index.php
I can usually be found at the CERES market on a Saturday morning (see http://www.ceres.org.au), with a range of types of nappies and information. Come along and try them out, and tell me all about your own nappy experiences!!
I have had a lot of positive feedback
about the range of Eenee products. People who have used them for
much longer than I have regularly come up and tell me how good they are, as well
as giving me tips and tricks on how to use them. So I will soon be able to
provide lots of good advice, even regarding older babies!
I have also put together some starter packs - especially for new mothers
- at budget prices!
The I just want to try it
out newborn starter pack
for $10
The budget
newborn starter pack for $20
The standard
newborn starter pack for $30
Gift packs
- including a printed starter guide, gift wrapping, and a
very cute teddy bear -
are only $5 extra!
I can also make up a deluxe
newborn gift pack for $50
or
A flexi pack
(just tell me your child's age, how much you want to spend, and whether
you are looking to use cloth, disposables, or a combination of both)
These all make ideal gifts - so if you're expecting, make sure you tell your friends!
A pricelist and
order form is now available
HERE (requires Microsoft Excel)
If you want more information on the Eenee range of products, their web site (eenee.com)
has detailed information on the environmentally and baby-friendly nature of
their products.
I am in the process of developing other environmentally and budget friendly solutions.
Baby Recycle begins
with a recycling program
that will enable cheaper access to the eenee range of products, as well as baby
clothing and toys.
For details please check this web site (www.envirobaby.com)
regularly.
Have ideas? Please email me with your experiences!
I have putting together a questionnaire which takes about 5 minutes to complete.
If you have time to do the survey, please let me know and I'll email you one.
I'll also be really, really grateful!
Dominic is my nine week old baby. He was born by emergency caesarean at the Royal Women's Hospital in Carlton.
For more details, click here
He sells nappies because, even though he is so young, he thinks he's an expert.
His mum has let him try lots and lots of different types of nappies.
Some worked and some didn't.
All were tested thoroughly!
He also thinks its good fun going down to the CERES market on a Saturday morning and meeting people.
He doesn't know much about money yet. So long as somebody feeds him and changes his nappy occasionally, he seems pretty happy. Fortunately, his dad is an expert on running small businesses (check out his new Planning Works web site). He says, if we have fun and make enough to buy lunch at the CERES cafe, we're doing OK ...
The rest is up to you - our valued customers!
So please, let me know what you want!
Envirobaby - hints and tricks!
Hint#2: If you use disposable nappies, try extending their life with booster pads
For small babies (under 2 months), a good 100% reusable option is an old face washer folded into thirds
You need to make sure it is clean and dry of course!
For added comfort, use a small rectangular piece of polar fleece on top of the face washer
Hint #3: Don't accidentally use the face washer as a face washer ever again!!!
Hint #4: If you want to buy, see or try out some truly excellent and environmentally friendly booster pads, come and see us at the CERES market (when?).
I get these from a mob called Eenee Designs Australia, so check their web site for details.
They have loads of neat products and seem to provide good service too.
If you buy stuff direct from them, please mention this web site! They might be nice to me!
Hint #5: If you can't make it to the CERES market, I may be able to come and visit you.
For $100 I'll bring you $100 worth of the products you really need ...
and give you a free home demonstration
and give you discounts in future if you choose to recycle any reusable items
all the best,
Heather
