Just ask, you won't be the first who wants to be green.

If you don't want to risk ruining your nappies and don't want your sposies going to landfill with all the other birthcare rubbish, you could always take a wetbag for your compostable sposies and get DH to drop them home to your compost when he's heading back there for clothes/shower/making the place spotless and full of flowers for you to come home to?]]> Fri, 16 Apr 2010 08:33:57 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32864&PID=997881&title=disposables-at-birthcare#997881 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32864&PID=997744&title=disposables-at-birthcare#997744 Author: Treen

Yeah, I feel a bit silly asking Birthcare as it's a bit an*l, but I think I might have to!]]> Thu, 15 Apr 2010 22:42:07 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32864&PID=997744&title=disposables-at-birthcare#997744 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32864&PID=996993&title=disposables-at-birthcare#996993 Author: HoneybunsMa

They use a nappy bin, which all your sanitary items go into the sangenic one so assume it just gets landfilled]]> Thu, 15 Apr 2010 11:51:29 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32864&PID=996993&title=disposables-at-birthcare#996993 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32864&PID=996908&title=disposables-at-birthcare#996908 Author: SquishysMum

When I was there they provided disposables (huggies) and you put them into a sangenic nappy wrapper, which encases them in plastic straight away. don't know what they do with them after that, sorry!

They use cloth in the hospitals, old fashioned cloth flats, and seem to get them clean after meconium, so I guess it can't be too bad!]]> Thu, 15 Apr 2010 10:27:54 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32864&PID=996908&title=disposables-at-birthcare#996908 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32864&PID=996905&title=disposables-at-birthcare#996905 Author: X

I don't have any answers-sorry. It's probably best to ring birthcare & ask them directly. I'd love to know what they say though. ]]> Thu, 15 Apr 2010 10:27:04 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32864&PID=996905&title=disposables-at-birthcare#996905 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32864&PID=996893&title=disposables-at-birthcare#996893 Author: Treen

Hi girls!

In the interest of the environment, I have some questions about Birthcare and nappies, here in Aucks. DH and I will be staying there for 3 nights following the birth.

I'm assuming they supply you with disposables rather than cloth during your stay?

If so, does anyone know what they do with them after? I.e. incinerate or landfill?

I have some eco / compostable disposables which I could take with me but I'm not sure there's much point if they just incinerate them with the rest of the disposables. The fumes might be less toxic, I guess, but I dunno, is there much point?

Also, if they go into a landfill, there's probably no much point taking in compostable nappies if they get incased in plastic bin liners as I'd assume they wouldn't break down. Is there a plastic bag type thing in the rooms for nappies or another way they get rid of them?

If anyone could give me a run down on their procedures, that would be great.

I don't want to take my cloth nappies as I've been told by many mums that the black tar poo babies have in the first week stains wickedly and ruin the nappies. ]]> Thu, 15 Apr 2010 10:15:13 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32864&PID=996893&title=disposables-at-birthcare#996893
