为什么叫greatmom?


"greatmom" to me represents unconditional love and sacrifice from Mom to her children. From the moment the child is born, mothers give their very best to her child. I hope that all mother who has read this blog will know the importance and benefits of using napkins, not withstanding this all mothers can also spread the love to all children for a better future.

Great对我而言就象征着母亲的伟大。Mom,永远就是给人联想着母亲对孩子们无条件的付出。从孩子出生的那一刻开始,没有一位母亲是没有把最好的东西留给孩子的。我希望所有的母亲可以在阅读了几个相关的文章后(http://www.lapislazuli.org/TradCh/magazine/200211/20021110.html和其它)可以领悟到用尿布的重要性. 不但如此, 所有的母亲也可以把那份伟大的母爱发挥在这个地球上,让所有的孩子可以拥有个綠色的未来.

Why should consider using cloth diapers?

Environmental reasons
Many parents initially look at cloth diapering for environmental reasons—and with good cause!
Disposable diapers are the third most common consumer product in landfills today. A disposable diaper may take up to 500 years to decompose. I haven't met the scientist who stood there and waited for the diaper to turn into dirt—but that's the theory. A biologist told me that landfills aren't meant to be friendly towards decomposing waste. Due to toxic waste and ground water contamination problems, most landfills are simply sealed capsules that don't allow any air or light to penetrate (both are needed for decomposition to occur).

One baby in disposable diapers will contribute at least one ton of waste to your local landfill. Amazing!!


Economic Reasons
Other parents are interested in cloth diapering because disposable diapers are expensive!

Disposable diapers can cost an average family, diapering an average baby, up to $2000 over the course of 2 years (that is assuming that your child potty trains at two).

Budget can play a large role in determining what kind of cloth diapering system to purchase.


Health Considerations
A baby can be sensitive or allergic to the ingredients used in disposable diapers. This sensitivity is usually displayed through a constant battle with diaper rash.

If you are in this situation, it is important to make sure that you purchase a cloth diaper that won't exacerbate your child's sensitivities. First, and most importantly, ask your pediatrician or allergist about what the baby is reacting to. If needed, an information sheet about the ingredients in disposable diapers can be obtained from the diaper manufacturer at the request of your pediatrician.

Using your pediatrician's advice, you should be able to choose the right cloth diapering system. If you aren't sure about a particular product, call the retailer or the product's manufacturer to resolve any questions before making a purchase.

FAQ

Q: Are these diapers waterproof? Is the insert comes with the diaper or I have to buy them separately?

A: Yes these diapers are waterproof, and moreover, they're very breathable. The material we used was PUL which allows air to breathe through, and also water-resistant. Each diaper comes with one super absorbent insert inside the pocket, once you have the diaper, you don't need to buy anything else.

Q: Where are you located and how do you sell the diapers?

A: Our Company is located in Canada, and our manufactory was set in Asia. The high quality materials we used were produced especially for baby from prestige companies, which provide the maximum safety and comfort for baby to use.

Q: Can I use detergents on the diapers?
A: You should only use detergents that are free of dyes, enzymes, perfumes, whiteners and brighteners. Using detergents containing these ingredients will cause damage to diaper including elastic failure and leaking.

Q: My diaper has leaking issues, how can I handle it?
A: The number one cause of leakage is a saturated diaper that just needs to be changed. Any diaper will leak once full. If your baby is having problems with leaks, check this first. 99% of the time, additional insert solves leakage problems.

Did you prewash?
First of all, make sure that you washed everything at least once before using. There can be residue left on the fabric from the production process that can cause leakage.

Is the insert flat?
Make sure that the insert is FLAT when you put the diaper on your baby. If it is twisted or wadded up, this can cause leakage.

Is the wetness at the legs or the tabs?
If the diaper is leaking from the tabs or the legs, change the diaper and remove the insert. If it is saturated then your baby definitely needs 2 inserts or a more frequent diaper change. If the insert isn't saturated, then the diaper may not be adjusted to fit your child properly or, if you are using a detergent that contains additives, your diapers may also have detergent buildup which can cause leakage.
