Green Movement Threatens Gender Equality?

According to Elisabeth Badinter's latest book, Le Conflit, La Femme et La Mere (The Conflict, The Woman and The Mother), if you gave up your high powered job, breastfeed, make your own baby food, wash cloth diapers, and basically stay at home and play "housewife", you are a destructive force for feminism. Her "salvation" for feminism? Make yourself the center of your world; bottle-feed your baby, drink and smoke if you so desire, buy commercial baby food and disposable diapers and toss the … [Read more...]

Adventures in Cloth Diapering: The Poop Bomb

Two Weeks Old in bumGenius!

My daughter was not even a month old when I started getting worried that she rarely pooped. She would go 1-3 days sometimes without pooping; I found this odd since she was exclusively breastfed. I talked to my doctor, who gave me a few tips to get her digestive tract moving, but otherwise seemed unconcerned. In an attempt to help her out, I pumped some milk for her and added corn syrup to it in a bottle. Later that day, when she started wiggling in her bouncer and fussing, I knew she … [Read more...]

The Snappi – A Pre-fold’s Best Friend

Before the birth of my first child, I started looking into cloth diapers. I expected to find cotton prefold diapers, funny-looking plastic pants, and diaper pins. What I discovered in my research was a pleasant surprise! When I registered for Fuzzi Bunz pocket diapers, I didn’t quite get the stash of 24 that I needed to cloth diaper my baby full time. So my husband and I decided to "go economical" – cotton prefolds and diaper covers; I was so excited to learn that I no longer needed … [Read more...]

Why Don’t YOU Recycle?

While I was researching what was going on with cloth diapers in the news this weekend, I ran across a thought provoking article about Why People Don't Recycle. The author, Ashley Schiller, interviewed five individuals as part of an investigation to "help proponents of recycling better understand the 'how' of what can be done to increase participation" in recycling programs. The participants included a 20-something bachelor, a 30-something family guy, a sweet sixteen-ager, and two proud … [Read more...]
