Did you know that Sodium Polyacrylate is the chemical used to absorb in disposable diapers? Some facts about Sodium Polyacrylate:
- was banned from tampon in 1985 because of it's link to Toxic Shock Syndrome
- has killed children after ingesting only 5 grams of it
There was also a study done proving that disposable diapers contain small dosages of Dioxin and Dioxin is a chemical that can cause cancer & infertility in males!!
Disposable diapers represent 30% of non-biodegradable waste in landfills. Each baby diapered with disposables contributes to about 1 ton of garbage if they are diapers for an average of 2 years. One ton is a lot of garabage that will be around for years and years and years in a landfill.
So, if you decided to use cloth or disposables, all I ask is that you do your research and make the best choice for the most precious thing you will ever receive, your baby!
