Reusable nappies better for the environment - it’s official!

defra.jpg

The latest report by the Environment Agency confirms that reusable nappies, if used and laundered according to manufacturer’s guidelines, can reduce the global warming impact of using reusable nappies over disposables by an incredible 40%.*

Reusable nappies, if used in an environmentally responsible way, create significantly less environmental impact than disposable nappies.

The new report is an update of the Environment Agency’s initial report on the life cycle assessment study for disposable and reusable nappies, which was released in May 2005. The much criticised 2005 report seemed to conclude that there was no significant difference between the environmental impacts of disposable and reusable nappies.

Jane Johnstone of Perfectly Happy People says “This update has been published to correct the misunderstanding created by the initial report. It confirms that responsible use of reusable nappies would reduce the modern parent’s environmental impact. Many people questioned the 2005 report and this led to the government commissioning this latest update. Reusable nappies are not only better for the environment, as confirmed by this report, but can save parents considerable amounts of money, which is particularly resonant in the present economic climate.”

Defra’s findings have apparently been contradicted in the Sunday Times, who have latched on to the report’s findings regarding laundry habits. They state that if parents used tumble dryers and washed the nappies at 90oC the carbon impact could ‘spiral to 993kg of CO2.’ However, most parents wash at more sensible temperatures!

* An updated Lifecycle Assessment Study for Disposable and Reusable Nappies, published 17/10/08.

Copies of the latest report are available from www.defra.gov.uk

New research on cot deaths

The Metro today, 8 Oct 2008, published an article on new research done in California on cot death. According to the research done ‘‘keeping a fan on while a baby sleeps could dramatically cut the risk of cot death.

The risk of sudden infant cot death syndrome was reduced dramatically by 72% when an electric fan was used in tests. ‘Increased movement of air in the room of a sleeping infant may potentially decrease the accumulation of carbon dioxide around the infant’s nose and mouth and reduce the risk of rebreathing,’ researchers in California told the American Medical Association. About 300 babies a year are victims of cot death in Britain. It remains a mystery but overheating is a known risk factor.’’


The BabyCatalogue recommend the Mini Tower Fan with Ioniser (K0564) in every nursery, not only does the fan provide for air circulation but the ioniser also gently feeds relaxing negative ions into the air of your baby’s room.

CUSKI© KIDS PILLOW
WINS GOLD AWARD 2008

Announcement of the 2008 Practical Pre-School Awards Child Care Category

After many months of testing and analysing of results, the highly awaited 2008 Practical Pre-School Awards was announced to the book, toy and child care industry on Friday 12 September. With nearly 240 entries overall from 110 different companies, the Practical Pre-School Awards is one of the highlights for the toy, nursery and education resource sectors. Tested by childcare professionals, the results are viewed as a measure of what’s good and what’s not in a field that is swamped with choice. Over the years, the Childcare category has increased in popularity and this year saw a record number of entries. Rather than shortlisting a limited number of products, the scheme differs uniquely in that it awards the coveted accolades to products on their own merit and not against other entries. Best Regards Suzanne Cannizzo M.D.


Cuski is Amazing!“My sister bought Cuski for my baby when he was born and I gave it to him from day one. He has slept through the night from just 12 weeks old and I believe Cuski has a lot to do with it as it does comfort him. He is just over 1 year old now and loves Cuski like no other toy? It has an almost magical effect on him when he gets tired or fed up. As far as I?m concerned no home with a baby should be without a Cuski ? they are simply amazing and fabulous value.” Mrs Sharron Cooper, Mirfield, West Yorkshire
