When I got the Natural Baby Starter Kit I was so excited, in it was:
- 1 package of chlorine free diapers (we got the size 1)
- Tub Chlorine-Free Baby Wipes
- Chlorine-Free Baby Wipes Refill
- Natural Baby Laundry Detergent
- Instead of the Reusable Tote that was supose to come (don't know why we didn't get it though), we got natural all purpose cleaner and 100% recycled paper towels
My first instinct for some odd reason is to open the diaper package first, I had to see what chlorine free diapers looked like...and boy was I suprised to pull out a brown diaper (not a bad surprise). It was simple, no characters or any type of design at all, which in all honesty, I don't see a point in having designs on diapers when they are covered by pants and get peed on anyways right? When I put one on Jaxon he looked cute in a little brown diapers and they fit nicely on him. Jaxon is a belly sleeper though, and I think most diapers are designed to absorb in the back for babys who sleep on their back, so these diapers actually leaked for us, but it could have been because of how he sleeps. This was when he would only sleep a few hours at a time too, so it would leak pretty quickly. I've read other reviews and I never seen another person who had this problem, so maybe my baby just peed a lot...who knows.
The next thing was the baby wipes, I liked those, they didn't have a smell, and they cleaned poop up pretty well, just like I'd expect a wipe to do lol. They were the pop-up kind so when you pulled one wipe out, another would be right behind it so it was easy to grab wipe after wipe. The refil pack had one of those resealable tabs on the top so you could use the wipes straight out of there or tear it open and put them in the tub when you ran out.
This is the 1st time I've ever used all natural laundry detergent, so I was especially curious about it. I have to say, I'm in LOVE with it! I have to tell you this story, I know if you come to my blog often you see Jaylin carrying her "baby" (the puffalump duck) and she was about to start school and I had to wash the dirty little thing because she carries it EVERYWHERE and I hardly ever get a chance to wash it (trust me, the whole time I was washing it, she was crying for it!) I put it in a pillowcase and threw it in the washer with some of the Seventh Generation All Natural Baby Laundry Detergent and boy when I got it out, I hadn't seen it THAT clean since it was new (Christmas of 2007 I think lol) No harsh smell, no harsh chemicals or anything, and it come out looking better than when I wash it with regular detergent! Another funny story about the detergent...DON'T put it on your dryer, Jeff put it there for some odd reason (seriously, we have a shelf above the washer and dryer for that stuff!) and the dryer was on, we had just layed in bed when we heard a "THUMP" I layed there knowing something fell off the dryer but wasn't sure what...when I got up it was the Seventh Generation detergent and it was sitting on the floor...on its TOP, well what used to be the top. When it fell, it fell on the top, so the lid and all broke and went INSIDE the bottle and it was just sitting on the floor upside down. I picked it up and only a small puddle of the detergent had gotten out...but we were never able to get the lid out to be able to properly measure detergent again lol.
As for the paper towels and all purpose cleaner...I was also impressed with those! The recycled paper towels seemed to absorb a lot better than regular paper towels and the all purpose cleaner got up all of the kids messes on the kitchen table and counter as if it was nothing!
With the exception of the diapers, I'm really happy with the Seventh Generation products I got to try. But Seventh Generation makes a lot more than just baby products, they have regular laundry detergent (liquid and powder), different cleaners (surface, glass, etc), feminine care, dishwashing, and a lot more!

my daughter is 11 weeks now and I am afraid to use bleach and she has ruined justy about everything she wears with stains. Little spit up queen
I'm using the Automatic Dishwashing Powder and really like it. I feel better using this stuff because I don't feel like I'm leaving my dishes coated with a chemical residue.

I use their recycled paper towels and toilet paper. I really can't tell the difference with the tp, but the the paper towels aren't as absorbent, but I still find them worthwhile.
Oh, this would be a lovely gift for the parents of the baby I am carrying. <3
I like their recycled tissue! :D
