How To Be A Sustainable Mom

These days, we frequently hear about how our activities affect the environment. Assuming individual responsibility in the face of climate change and committing to live off a sustainable one can be more effective than having fewer children, but only in addition to a change in the world’s economic system.

Diapers that Biodegrade

It has been pointed out that cloth diapers are not more environmentally friendly than disposable diapers (in fact, they are deemed to be more polluting) due to the expense of water and energy when they have to be washed and dried. In respect to this, biodegradable diapers are touted as the most environmentally friendly option, since all natural materials are used to produce them, which means they decompose in record time.

I believe that little by little, these types of products will gain popularity among brands, even though there are currently not many options.

Instead Of Wiping Down, Use Soap And Water

In the natural environment, wet wipes will take about 600 years to decompose since they contain microplastics, so they are not biodegradable. Despite the fact that other options are available, the most eco-friendly way to wash our baby’s bottom is with soap and water when changing his diaper or toilet paper when they go to the toilet.

Protect The Environment By Saving Water

In spite of this contradiction, if we spend consciously we can reduce water consumption in a number of ways, including choosing showers over baths, teaching children to turn off the water when they are washing their hands or brushing their teeth. You should only wash your teeth after fully charging your phone. Furthermore, it will enable the family to maintain itself more sustainably and save considerable amounts of money on maintenance.

Homemade Baby Food

Purees made from home have many nutritional benefits as well as the advantage of being able to be canned and not frozen. You’ll only generate organic waste by choosing seasonal vegetables and reusing glass jars to prepare it.

Purchase Cereals In Bulk

First and foremost, it is important to remember that baby food is by no means an essential or the only way to offer cereal to children.

Due to the high sugar content found in commercially available cereals, we can choose to buy cereals in bulk and prepare them in other ways (I have often added rolled oats to vegetable purees and homemade cakes).

Don’t Buy Without Thinking

My first daughter left me in a state of shock when she was born, but when gifts from family and friends came, I was overwhelmed. Therefore, I purchased more items (clothes and toys) because, in the end, even though children need clothing and toys, they do not need so many of them. Also today, you can buy newborn cribs and stretchy clothes.

Clothing Donation And Reuse

In society, it is now regarded as a custom. To preserve clothes effectively, you must know how to store them efficiently, and if you do not want to keep them, you need to store them in the appropriate containers or use them for another purpose.

Play With Wooden Toys Instead Of Plastic Toys

We face a serious problem today with the excessive production of plastic, so every little bit counts. Wooden toys offer children a multitude of benefits, but they are also eco-friendly, making them a great option (especially for young children).

Educate Kids About Recycling

Waste that ends up in nature can be reduced to a great extent by recycling. In that regard, it is important for children to be taught how to do it, since this is how we begin to showcase the importance of conserving and protecting the environment to future generations.
