Mother's milk is not only the most convenient and affordable, but also the most environmentally friendly food choice for your baby. However, "old school" pediatricians - followed by commercial companies - recommend that from 4 months of age, babies should be introduced to complementary foods in the form of purees, milk products (often with sugar in them) and formula. All this is often advised even to moms who have no problems with breastfeeding and their babies with weight gain!
This ignores the recommendations of the World Health Organization: breast milk can make up to 100% of the nutrition of the child up to 1 year, and complementary foods are introduced from 6 months, and it can be done from the common table of the family.
From 2,000 to 6,000 disposable diapers will have time to go to the landfill before a little person learns to "do their own thing" on the potty. There they will sit for about 500 years. Add to this wet wipes, absorbent diapers, baby food packaging, quickly boring brightly colored toys and other "disposable" entertainment.... A whole mountain of garbage that will "outlive" not only your children, but also your grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Children's goods - this is a huge industry, speculating on the dreams and anxieties of parents, and most importantly - on their great desire to give their child all the best. Clothes, strollers, furniture and decorations for the nursery, all sorts of gadgets and toys - most of it is either not needed by the child at all, or may well be not new, but used. It is not things that make children happy, but our love, care and precious time together!
