Seventh Generation Baby

Back when we went on vacation, I had to use disposable diapers for Esther.  We had previously used Pampers, but will not buy them again.  (See this article for more on why.)  I contacted Seventh Generation and they agreed to send me a natural baby starter kit - and give one away!

The kit includes Diapers, disinfecting multi-surface spray, disinfecting bathroom spray, disinfecting wipes, baby wipes tub and refill, baby laundry detergent, all purpose spray, natural paper towels, and a reusable bag.  *This is not the entire kit pictured, I forgot to take a photo at first and we've already used up some of the products.

Esther is normally in cloth diapers, but on vacation she wore these disposables the entire time.  I chose Seventh Generation because they are chlorine free, fragrance free, and they disclose all ingredients.  The diapers fit well, although I'd say they run a bit small.  Esther is 17 lbs and fit in the size 3, but the 4s fit too.  We got lots of comments on the natural color.  I thought they were cute and I enjoyed not having Elmo or Barney all over her bottom for a change.  The back of the diaper has a nice stretchy part to allow for a good fit.  We did have a few poop leaks, but the diapers held up well overnight.  When we ran out of diapers I had Ross make a special stop just to find more Seventh Generation diapers.

The wipes are great too - unscented, alcohol free, and no yucky ingredients.  Pampers wipes contain parabens, among other things.  I buy disposable wipes to keep in the diaper bag for sticky fingers, etc.  I'll be buying these from now on.  They are a bit drier, but work well.

We've been using the cleaning supplies around the house for a couple of months now.  The disinfecting wipes are especially handy for cleaning the trash can lid, toilet, or wiping doorknobs when we are sick and don't want to spread germs.  I do have a homemade cleaning recipe that I use, but these are great too.  If we want to be sure something is disinfected we will reach for one of these cleaners.  I didn't like the Thyme scent at first, but its mild and I really did get used to it.  I'm honestly not sure what the big difference is between all of the different cleaners, they all seem to get the job done.

I posted a bit ago about wanting to switch our laundry detergent because of nasty ingredients.  I now use Rockin Green for my diapers, but I think its too expensive for everyday use.  The baby laundry detergent we received has worked well.  I think we'll be buying this from now on too.

Thanks Seventh Generation!  Its nice to have reliable everyday products that work well and are safe!
