We love hearing from Nature Babycare users, and Satu Ruotsalainen, is one of those users. She and her twins have been using Nature Babycare diapers for a while now. And we couldn’t be happier.

But enough from us, read on to see what Satu has to say:

Meillä opetellaan juuri puhumaan ja Mila juoksee kovaa kyytiä karkuun Sofiaa, joka ei aivan vielä pysy samaa vauhtia mukana. Yöt menevät edelleen yhdellä Nature Babycare -housuvaipalla ja äidille miellyttävää on ollut se, ettei yhtään vahinkoa ole sattunut. Housuvaippa on todella pitävä ja imukykyinen.

Pienikokoisempi Mila käyttää päiväaikaan tavallista vaippaa ja isompi, jo reilu 11 kiloinen Sofia, housuvaippaa. Koska vaippoja kertyy päivän aikana niin paljon, kerään kaikki ekopussiin ja vien roskiin vasta illalla.

Olemme päässeet jo reilun vuoden ikään iho-ongelmitta, joka on säästänyt myös monilta yöitkuilta. Tytöt nukkuvat muuten todella hyvin, paitsi silloin kun uusi hammas on juuri puhkeamassa. Tytöt ovat opetelleet jo kuukauden ajan potalla istumista, ja onnistumisen elämykset ovat kirvoittaneet raikuvat aplodit. Siskolle on tärkeää taputtaa, kun pissa on tullut pottaan. Koska vaippoja kuitenkin vielä tarvitaan pitkän aikaa, meille on tärkeää, että vaipasta suurin osa on luonnonmateriaalia. Tulevan omakotitalomme pihalla tulee varmasti olemaan komposti, johon saamme vaippapinon isolta osalta maatumaan.

Ja kun lähisukuun on juuri syntymässä lisää vauvoja, haluan jokaisen saavan lahjaksi vuoden Nature Babycare -vaipat. Pitkäaikaisessa käytössä huomaa parhaiten vaipan suotuisan vaikutuksen ihon hyvinvointiin.

Nearly 15 years ago, Marlene Sandberg found herself thinking about nappies, and doing so on a regular basis. She was the mother of two boys, a corporate lawyer, and had a burgeoning sense of environmental awareness. As all new parents eventually realize, nappies became an everyday occurrence. 

It was during this period that Marlene came across a newspaper article reporting on the damaging effect that disposable nappies had on the Swedish environment. On average, every Swedish baby was responsible for a half ton of dirty nappies every year. According to the US Environmental Protection Agency, it can take hundreds of years for an ordinary disposable nappy to decompose. So the nappies kept piling up, due in part to the material in traditional disposable nappies being predominately oil-derived plastic. While the nappies were out of sight, for Marlene, they were never truly out of mind.

Marlene Sandberg, who nearly 15 years ago started working on the idea that would become Naty and the Nature Babycare brand, was awarded the 2009 Veuve Clicquot Business Woman Award in Stockholm, Sweden on Tuesday, May 12th 2009.

The Veuve Clicquot Business Woman Award was founded 37 years ago and recognizes business women who exhibit qualities of entrepreneurship, determination, and creativity.

The 2009 Veuve Clicquot Business Woman Award focused on those same qualities, but also looked at social responsibility, such as environmental activism. And that’s where Marlene and Nature Babycare come into the picture.

Marlene was recognized for, “with passion and commitment, having founded and built an expanding company with extensive exports throughout the world. In a competitive market, she has developed ecological and environmentally friendly products designed for children, and thus, like all true entrepreneur, challenged the industry giants. She is recognized for her entrepreneurship and achievement in breaking in as a supplier to major retailers throughout the world.”

In the end though, we can’t take all of the credit. In fact, it is people like you who deserve the credit. So thank you. Thank you for continuing to support what we do. Thank you for thinking about, and taking care of, the environment. And of course, thank you for putting the health, well-being, and future of your baby, first.

Welcome to our brand new homepage and the Nature Babycare Blog!

Here at Naty our intentions are simple, to create products that are gentle on you, your baby, and of course, the environment. Our intentions for our new blog might be even simpler. We want to start a conversation with you. A conversation about you, your baby, and the environment. And what we can all do to make sure that all three are in harmony.

There’s so much to think about. Raising a child has never been easy, but raising a child today means so many things to think about. Everything from education to the environment. We know. We’re parents too.

We hope you’ll check back often. We hope that you’ll leave your questions and comments and add to this conversation. But most of all, we hope that you’ll join us as we strive to create something that makes the world just a little bit better of a place to live.
