Eco Nappies Review | How Eco-Friendly Are They? Are They Any Good?
I'm a great advocate for reusable nappies and luckily there are so many videos out there already to help you with using them.
However, if you're like me and just need a bit of break from them, are there any good eco-friendly disposable alternatives? Are they any good?
Please note - there no product placement or paid advertising in this video, they are all honest reviews.
In this video I look at each different type of nappy individually. I look at the cost, how 'eco-friendly' it is and if it is actually any good as a nappy.
The nappies I've looked at today are:
01:04 - Mum&You Nappy Chat nappy
03:23 - Little Stories nappy from Boots
05:59 - Bambo Nature nappy
07:38 - Kat and Kin Eco nappy
09:39 - Cheeky Panda pull-up nappy
11:39 - Eco by Naty pull-up nappy

So helpful 🤍🤍🤍
You didn’t list any pros …. Everything you mentioned was a con
pros start at 4:11
My 2.5 month old gulps and cries in discomfort. We have tried everything and nothing seems to work.
This video is very relatable to me because my 3 week baby is going through doctor give me home appraisal and gaviscon but after giving home appraisal my baby got allergy so I stopped giving her no I am just uprighting her and I think the same that medication so i ma just making her upright after every feed but she burp ver few but do farts is that okay to release gas ?
Finally! I get it why I’m going crazy and feel like I’m a bad parent now compared to my first child . I found myself laughing but truly connected with you and for the first time in 14 months that I see things more clearly. I have been been depressed and with anxiety as to why I am so different this time around. Thank you so much for your honesty and sincere humor as to what real parenting of two can be like . 😃
Thank you
My baby cry relentless at night
Amazing work! You did so much. I suspect my baby has silent reflux because she always arches her back, coughs a little bit, and we need to bounce her on a ball for hours to get the gas out. The difference though is that she doesn’t like standing upright, unless if she’s being bounced or in the carrier. She prefers to be lying down.
Hello mama
How's your baby doing now
My baby is 9 weeks only and doi g same znd we went to doctor yesterday and he told acid reflux she coughs alot
I find with people like myself who have suffer from hay fever and allergic rhinitis would be best to cut down on caffeine and high stimulants to help reduce an allergic reaction. I use a hayfever wax and the facial wipes which kind of form a wall between your skin and the pollen. Stay hydrated with water and take plenty of V it - C or better yet, drink a big full glass of orange juice.
Are you mad elder ones is so understanding the need to understand bthe feel
What the hell is she talking about the first one she’s holding up she’s saying the wrong name
Hi! Thanks for your video, I’m trying to help my wife. My son is being a really fussy feeder. He squirms and arches in the cradle position and only feeds for very short periods. This leads to snacking. I often can hear him with a small cough throughout the day and he gets hiccups often. He loves tummy time but does get frustrated after a little while. He can self settle after about 15 mins but the nights are one good block and then every hour afterwards. We are just exploring the idea that it could be silent reflux. My partner has been sleep deprived for 5 months now. We recently started a bottle in the bouncer and he seems to like that and feeds for much longer periods. Some similarities with your story. What are your thoughts?
Thank you so much for your Informations 😢
Thank you for this video... I am trying to get some inside from any mother with a 4-year gap between their kids. Mine is three and I really think that if I am going to do this thing again it is now or never. May I ask, how it is going now that they are older? Do they play together? P.S. My husband is very supportive but he claims that even though he wants a second baby... he is scared to go through the sleeplessness again. I am most afraid about the pregnancy itself. When I was pregnant with my son, the doctor said I should spend the whole pregnancy laid down... and the one time I went to the supermarket... I end up 10 days in the hospital waiting for the baby to complete 36 weeks so we can deliver him with less risks. (everything went fine) I can't understand how am I supposed to stay in bed while having a 3-year-old son?
Good video .. i want baby#2 ❤ i want my baby to have a sibling just like me I have 6 😅
My first challenge is we share the same name with our second borns 🤣! He’s the sneaky, silent independent one, instigating, he was a runner and a joiner of other groups. Went up to every dog, broke all our lamps, two tvs, many many toys and maybe furniture. Always danger, always too busy to help clean up but is already making a new mess while everyone else is cleaning up the last mess! I used to just follow him all day wondering how I would clean up behind him because he’s always busy, always helping when it was convenient and messy! Still rides his bike in the middle of left rather than right. Still takes the most dangerous option. That being said, he has a deep soul and he gets me. When we have heart to hearts I feel like he is seriously seeing into my soul! He can tell what’s going on around him while he’s keeping himself busy. Having a little screen time is necessary for these busy bodies! Love them !!!
But how did the baby sleep during the first year?
She didn’t really. Until solids. Eating solids changed everything.
Great video. I’m scared of the psychological impact of two. I don’t desire another child but my husband wants another and I recognise that it would be good for my child to have a sibling. I don’t know what to do!
I totally understand. There is no easy answer. I think go with your gut. The way I looked at it was that I just knew I always wanted 2 but my husband wasn’t sure. It’s something you both need to agree to
Finish it off by putting them in a bucket with a damp rid container and they’ll be back to 100%
Thank you, great tip!!
Did you cancel the dairy free diet while treatment?
No, I remained dairy free until we were able to test the dairy element using solids - it was easier to see the reaction quickly
At what time of the day would you pump for that 1 oz?
Did starting solids help ?
100% I cannot tell you how different he was after solids. Everything settled in the stomach better and it was easier to monitor reactions to food
Thank you for replying !! I know it’s so long ago for you ! This video helps so many moms my baby will be 6 month soon I’m hoping solids help ! It’s been rough
It is not that the second child is bat shit crazy, it is that the parents do not give the second child the same importance and attention to that child as they did with the first child.
Thank you so much for your video. God bless you and your family. ❤
You’re very welcome 😊
Thank you for this
You are doing so wrong! Tear duct is mostly inside the bone, so you cannot apply pressure on it by sliding your finger to right or left. only use your little finger and push it next to eyeball and slide it down only a little bit. Just a couple milimeters thats it. Or see a doctor ASAP, he will show you the right way.
Currently suspecting reflux in my 3 week old baby.Its been relentless cry screaming every waking moment and after feeding, refusing to be put down to sleep, arching back and being so unsettled. Am at wits end, the ENT did a scope and saw some irritation of the throat from acid, so started a medication to reduce acid but its been 4 days and no sign of improvement yet. Please tell me it gets better.
How is your baby now.my baby is 53 days now.she started at 2 nd week of birth.now onwards she does the same.i takenher on my shoulder 24*7.
It gets better. Solids change everything. Keep going, you’ve got this.
My baby eye also have same problem.left eye
love u belly
Thank you so much for this video! I had so many issues early on and had over supply and now need to add in pump as I’m going back to work Just fyi if anyone has this issue ->(I now avoid oat and rice because they make my supply go crazy) For anyone struggling with oversupply, try removing all grains then adding them back in one by one. And see which does not Stefy your milk)
This is an excellent tip, thank you so much for this
Why store them in a sealed container? Wouldn’t they dry out more in maybe a cloth bag?
That’s a great idea! Thank you for this
I love your responses to ideas on the comments! Finally a TH-camr who listens and doesnt take it in a bad way! Really enjoyed your video!!
wow, a year of maternity leave. in the US if you're lucky you get 8 weeks. Some moms get zero if their work doesn't offer it.
It's so sad! In Canada too, it's a basic right.
I know, we are very lucky. I honestly don’t know how you mamas do it in USA x
Great video. we decided to stick with one. I think my own mental health, having preeclampsia , and finances are a big reason. Everything is so expensive now! It is 1600 a month for daycare where I live. I also think it's a lot to expect of them to play together and that "they'll always have each other". My siblings and I didnt want to play together when we were younger and we dont really talk now. Parents always gave more attention to one over the other and now our relationship with our parents in later life is strained and non-existent. A "built in best friend" as most people say is definitely not guaranteed.
Did you perform vaginal seeding on either of your children? We will be doing this as it strikes me as very odd how it's even considered as controversial.
What is the update on this? Im just journeying through this with my 2 year old which everyone has told us its eczema. However he reacts to more than milk and gluten & high histamine foods. Weve obviously started doing low histamine as of late
I’m sorry to hear this, poor thing (both for him and you as the parents). Aidan has now grown out of his intolerances (he’s now 3 years old) but still gets the odd reaction around his eyes but we still can’t 100% identify the cause. It doesn’t seem to bother him too much so we’ve left it alone but I would definitely speak to your doctor if it’s still an ongoing problem.
Why parents don't give important to their second child second child always in pressure complex angry behavior build in his personality .I wish parents should give Sam equall important to their second child
My first is a challenge I couldn’t imagine how a second could be any worse
thinking abt having that 2nd child too? such a dilemma
My baby has the same problem
My baby same pblm
Having children used to be understood as being a blessing but now they are often seen as a burden, extra cost and an interruption of life. The birth rate is falling rapidly around the world. Psalm 113:9 - He maketh the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the Lord. Psalms 127:3 - Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. Genesis 1:28 - And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. Psalm 127:4-5 4 As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. 5 Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.
I completely agree. I'm a professional in Healthcare and after putting my son in daycare for 4 months I could not live with the idea of other people (including family) raising my son whom I brought into the world and dedicated to raising in the ways of God. There is too much distraction and influence from the enemy in the world and I firmly believe that mothers should raise their kids. Yes it is much easier going to a job but we have a calling to nurture our kids, they should not be burden for our job sake if we need to be at home to care for them. ❤ children are a blessing from God and being a parent also teaches you a lot and it helped grow my walk with Christ.
@@asouthafricanindian9258 Amen, I'm so glad you realized this. I don't understand why a mother would want to have children, only to pass them off to other people (even family) to raise. Children tend to prefer their mothers over anyone else, especially at a young age. We have the responsibility to raise our own children in the ways of the Lord and the fruit of it lasts for eternity. May God bless you and your family.

Just store in the fridge.
My kid goes to the fridge all the time no no for me lol even if they are dehydrated I’d be trash g these too many kiddos dying even with the “non toxic ones”
To make sure they don’t STICK ✨
Hey when did it get better
Weaning onto solids changed everything for us. Good luck, I hope it gets better xx
Brilliant! I've got bags of these things, ugh!! Thank you!
Wow. This video was very helpful. My husband and I already have a son.. and we are constantly deliberating whether or not we should have another child.
It’s never going to be easy to decide. We found it a bigger conversation than having one child. I hope this helps you with you decision no matter what you decide.
so, did you eventually decide or are you guys still thinking? I'm in the same situation with my husband rn..
@@daryakozhus too.. 😢
@@brettsaspari5369 we have an 11 months old and for now my husband decided he's one and done.. I, on the other hand, would like to have another. It's tough. But I'm never going to pressure him into this, so, though not by choice, I am OAD too. Hugs to you guys, we found it to be the toughest decision of our lives..
@@daryakozhmy husband wants us to have second baby but I'm so overwhelmed by one he is 2.5 now and yesterday we got fist full night sleep. Second molars Teething is one big night mare. Still Brest fed.I stay home with him while my husband works from home and helps out here and there ( daycare is not an option for our family (ratio 9 to 1 caretaker) and nannies (we tried 3 only 1 was good) are beyond horrible experience (even me being always present at the house). No help from relatives as we moved far away from where we from. We barely have time for each other letting alone ourselves so Getting pregnant again sounds to me like the worst thing that could happen at this point.
Do you know if the water beads can be stored long-term in an air tight container when “activated” wet?
I have yet to have any issues with storing them in an airtight container and we have reactivated them with water a few times now which has worked wonderfully!
Any mold if they’re activated and stored?
I would leave the door cracked open to let the moisture escape the oven, otherwise you're just kinda creating a sauna in there.
Good point!! Great tip!
