Why does it make perfect sense to raise an eco-friendly baby? Because you teach them young! Life starts from scratch, and babies are our starting point for a world with less waste. What better way to take care of the planet than by starting with those we love most?

I'm not a mother yet... but I've already learned a lot from babies!

Although I don't have children yet, and I know that no experience compares to being a mother, I do have some experience in the world of little ones.

Besides having 4+1 godchildren, I grew up taking care of my twin siblings — two rascals 20 years younger than me.

And it was precisely while thinking about the day I would become a mother that I started delving into the world of eco-friendly baby care. I discovered that it is possible to do things differently, with healthier, more sustainable, and yes, also more economical choices.

After all, a baby doesn't need that many things.

We live in a world that pushes consumption, even when it comes to newborns. But the truth is that babies need much less than the industry wants you to believe.

👉 Reusable nappies, washable wipes, natural and chemical-free creams... these are conscious choices that protect the baby and the planet.

Yes, it might seem challenging at first. But just as I allow myself to use reusable period underwear (and I love it!), why not apply the same logic to our babies?

Everything you need to know to get started with reusable nappies

1. Are reusable nappies scary?

It's natural to feel overwhelmed with so much information — there are myths that they're a lot of work, that babies get bowed legs, that daycares don't accept them, or that they smell bad...

But take a deep breath. Your baby will give you more "headaches" than the nappies, I promise! 😄

2. Why use reusable nappies?

✳️ Protect the baby's skin

They are free from harsh chemicals, perfumes, or toxic substances. Our nappies are made with materials certified as OekoTex 100, GOTS, and CPSIA, ensuring comfort and safety.

✳️ They are breathable

They provide more comfort, less nappy rash, and that desired "dry bottom" effect, with liners that wick moisture away from the skin.

✳️ They reduce waste (a lot)

A baby generates, on average, 1 tonne of disposable nappies until potty training. With reusable nappies, you avoid tonnes of waste and you can also use reusable wipes to further reduce the impact.

✳️ You save time

No more last-minute dashes to the supermarket to buy nappies! You have everything at home, always ready.

✳️ And, yes, you SAVE A LOT OF MONEY

Let's do the maths with you:

• Disposable nappies for 3 years = +/- €2,250

• Reusable nappies for 3 years (including washes) = +/- €800

If you have a second baby, the investment is already made. Imagine if you had a second child, the savings would increase to €4500! And you can even resell the nappies secondhand!

3. Types of reusable nappies at Green2You

✔️ Classic nappy + waterproof cover

Perfect for daily use and for night. Very absorbent, adjustable (2 to 15 kg), soft and adaptable to the baby's growth.

Lulu Nature absorbent nappies are efficient, hyper-absorbent, with a physiological and adjustable cut from 2 to 15 kg, to accompany the baby from the first days until potty training. The edges are extendable without damaging the elastic for a perfect fit. 🟢Pluma Nappy (2-7kg) 🟢Adjustable Nappy (3/15 Kg) 🟢Night Nappy (5/15 Kg)

The Boxer or Brief is the external waterproof protection we add over a classic nappy.

✔️ All-in-One Reusable Nappy

More practical for outings and daycare. The All-in-One Reusable Nappy (One Size) may vary depending on each baby's morphology.

Soft, thin and efficient, the fitted reusable nappy is very practical thanks to its adjustable absorbent pad. It is ideal for babies from 5 to 17 kg. The nappy insulates the baby from moisture, keeping the "baby dry" and protecting sensitive skin from irritation.

The advantage of this type of reusable nappy is that it is used as if it were a disposable nappy, but without disposing of it :D
