Organic Baby Products are important for several reasons. Babies are very susceptible to pesticides and other toxins contained in inorganic products. Choosing organic clothing/apparel, bedding, furniture, diapers and even toys can help ensure the health and safety of your baby. By creating a non-toxic environment for your baby, you help reduce early exposure to chemicals and heavy metals which can have negative long-term effects on your baby's growth and development. By choosing organic products, you are not only creating a healthier environment for your baby, but for your entire family and future generations.

The Science of Nappies Understanding Diaper Technology for NewbornsNAN Supplies
That's where the science of nappies (diapers) comes in! These seemingly simple products are packed with clever technology to ensure your baby's delicate skin stays happy and healthy.
Baby wipes are single-use, moist towels or cloths which are supposed to clean babies’ skin whilst diapers are being modified or for widespread health reasons. In widespread, they’re fabricated from tender, mild materials which are secure for toddlers’ pores and skin. Baby wipes in India already have a solution on them that normally has water, moderate cleaning sellers, and other things like moisturizers or hypoallergenic materials in it.

Biodegradable Diaper
Diaper is an absorbent item used by babies or adults to defecate and urinate without going to the toilet. They are made from either non-biodegradable petrochemical based materials and plastics or from biodegradable fibers such as cotton, bamboo, starch, etc.
Many baby diapers are not biodegradable and could take hundreds of years to degrade. While it’s unknown how many years biodegradable materials take to decompose, to serve more environmentally-conscious consumers, there is a growing trend to produce biodegradable baby diapers.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

1. Organic Baby Products
BY GLOBAL ENFANT
WHAT ARE ORGANIC BABY PRODUCTS?
Organic Baby Products are made from fibers or material which has been grown and produced without the use of
harmful chemicals, pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, or genetically modified organisms.
WHY ORGANIC BABY PRODUCTS?
Organic Baby Products are important for several reasons. Babies are very susceptible to pesticides and other
toxins contained in inorganic products. Choosing organic clothing/apparel, bedding, furniture, diapers and even
toys can help ensure the health and safety of your baby. By creating a non-toxic environment for your baby, you
help reduce early exposure to chemicals and heavy metals which can have negative long-term effects on your
baby's growth and development. By choosing organic products, you are not only creating a healthier environment

2. BABY WEARING & ORGANIC BABY CARRIERS
Baby Wearing is a method of carrying or 'wearing' your baby in a piece of fabric that can be
wrapped around your baby and yourself, slung across a shoulder in a fabric Sling or Rebozo,
secured in a traditional Asian style carrier such as a Mei Tai, worn on your body in a Backpack or
Framed style carrier, or held in one of the most popular style of carriers today - a Soft-
Structured carrier such as an Ergo or Beco baby carrier. Holding, carrying and wearing your
baby is not a new invention or trend. Long before the use of baby carriages, prams, strollers or
push chairs became the norm, women have worn their babies to keep them warm, facilitate
nursing, help regulate breathing and heart beat patterns, keep babies safe from predators and
danger, and to allow mothers to go about their daily activities or work, all while keeping their
precious baby close at hand.
Recent studies suggest that babies who are carried not only cry less, but also learn more than
non-carried babies as they spend less time crying to communicate their needs, and more time
observing what their mothers and other people in their community are doing. If you wear your
baby on your front, side, hip or back, your baby is essentially at the same level as you are, and is
able to observe everything you do from the same vantage point. A good baby carrier not only
frees up your hands to shop, cook, clean, talk on the phone or attend to a toddler or sibling, but
a Sling, Wrap, or Carrier worn correctly will support your baby without causing any discomfort
to the parent, caretaker or person wearing your baby. Wearing your baby in a Sling or Carrier
also promotes communication between your baby and yourself. Parents of worn babies
become very aware of their children's gestures, movements and facial expressions which lead
to positive interaction and communication between you and your child.
A sling or baby carrier can even act as a transitional womb during those early months when a
baby needs his or her mother nearly 24/7. If your baby suffers from colic or you have a baby
that has a difficult time sleeping, or startles easily, a baby carrier may be just what the doctor
ordered - or didn't order but should have. For breastfeeding moms, a sling can provide a
discreet nursing environment where your baby can nurse without distractions, and then simply
fall asleep against your chest. Perhaps the most import item on a new mom or dad's checklist, a
wrap, sling or carrier for your baby can be used from birth all the way through the toddler
years. You will find it indispensible in airports, restaurants & in busy cities where pushing a
stroller becomes nothing but a hassle, and in keeping strangers' curious hands away from your
newborn. As parents of a toddler and infant, our baby carriers are the best baby 'gear'
investment we have made to date, and we do not own a single stroller. To top it all off, wearing
your baby in a carrier on your body is great weight-bearing exercise and can help mom AND dad
lose the extra baby weight.
3. WHY CHOOSE CLOTH DIAPERS?
BECAUSE REUSABLE CLOTH DIAPERS ARE BETTER FOR YOUR BABY: Cloth diapers are soft on
baby's delicate skin. Since cloth is a natural fiber that breathes, baby's bottom gets plenty of
'air' keeping baby cool and comfortable (lack of fresh air and elevated temperatures are a
breeding ground for yeast leading to severe diaper rash and yeast infections). Babies who are
prone to allergies and sensitivities such as eczema and psoriasis, and babies born prematurely
are especially sensitive to the petro-chemicals and dioxin used in disposable diapers, making
reusable cloth an excellent choice! Since cloth diapers are free of petro-chemicals and dioxin,
diaper rash with reusable diapers is a rare occurrence. In May 2000, the Archives of Disease in
Childhood published research showing that scrotal temperature is increased in boys wearing
disposable diapers, and that prolonged use of disposable diapers will blunt or completely
abolish the physiological testicular cooling mechanism important for normal spermatogenesis.
BECAUSE REUSABLE CLOTH DIAPERS DON'T CONTAIN (but disposables do): Dioxin - a toxic
byproduct of the paper bleaching process. Dioxin is a carcinogenic chemical, listed by the EPA
as the most toxic of all cancer linked chemicals. It is banned in most countries, but not the
United States.
Tributyl-tin (TBT) - a toxic pollutant known to cause hormonal problems in humans and
animals.
Sodium Polyacrylate - a type of super absorbent polymer (SAP), which becomes a gel-
like substance when wet. A similar substance was used in super-absorbency tampons
until the early 1980s when it was revealed that the material increased the risk of toxic
shock syndrome.
BECAUSE REUSABLE CLOTH DIAPERS ARE EASY TO USE: Gone are the days of dunking reusable
diapers in the toilet, and boiling to sanitize. Today's reusable cloth diapers are as convenient
and easy to use as disposables, often times more effective at containing messes than
disposables, and today's choices are vast. You can choose economical flat pre-folds (which are
the fold, pin, rubber pants style used by our mothers and grandmothers), or fitted diapers that
have a snap or hook and loop closure, or even diapers that already have the water-proof diaper
covers sewn onto the cloth, making the diaper and cover one piece (All-In-One or AIO) like that
of a disposable. Many people use a combination of the various styles and use each style for
different situations (depending on if they need a more absorbent option for overnight, if they
need a very simple system for travel or with the nanny/babysitter, etc.). Best of all, simply toss
into the washing machine, hang or tumble dry, and you are set. Modern cloth diapering REALLY
is that easy!
4. BECAUSE REUSABLE CLOTH DIAPERS ARE BETTER FOR OUR PLANET: In 1988, over 18 billion
single use diapers were sold and consumed in the United States. Based on current calculations,
it is estimated that 27.4 billion disposable diapers are consumed every year in the U.S. Of those
27.4 billion disposable diapers, 92% end up in our landfills. No one knows exactly how long it
takes a disposable diaper to decompose (since single use diapers are a relatively 'new'
invention but it is estimated to be anywhere from 50-500 years. Often people ask me about, or
even propose that the use of water to launder cloth diapers is more detrimental to the
environment than using disposables. Nothing can be further from the truth! The manufacture
and use of disposable diapers amounts to 2.3 times more water wasted than with reusable
diapers.
Additionally, the water used to manufacture disposables is so heavily laden with chemicals and
toxic by-product that it cannot be recycled. This polluted water inevitably finds its way into our
natural lakes, streams, oceans, and groundwater. Even taking into account washing cloth
diapers on a hot water cycle, (though most people now use cold or warm water for the average
wash load, which further reduces the impact of laundering cloth diapers) the impact of
producing disposables is far worse for our planet. When you choose to use organic cloth
diapers like we do, you are keeping even more chemicals from entering our eco-system. Think
about it from another angle: Most of us would agree that wearing an outfit (or even
underwear) one time, and then throwing it out would be ridiculously wasteful. We don't buy
new baby clothing for our little ones each time they wear (and inevitably get dirty) an outfit, so
why has it become accepted as 'normal' to throw out our babies' diapers (underwear) after only
a single use? Not only are disposable diapers wasteful, but expensive!
BECAUSE REUSABLE CLOTH DIAPERS WILL SAVE YOU MONEY: As the cost of fuel continues to
rise, disposable diapers are impacted two-fold. Not only does the increased cost of
transportation impact the consumer, but since petro-chemicals are used in the MANUFACTURE
of disposable diapers as well, the actual cost of production is increasing, so the consumer is
feeling the pinch from both ends. The average newborn will use 12-14 diapers per day, with the
average baby and toddler using 6-10 diapers per day. So let's compare the cost of using an
average of 10 disposables vs. reusable diapers per day over 2.5 years (although statistics show
that children in cloth diapers generally potty train earlier than this, and many in disposable
diapers potty train later than this - another benefit of cloth!).
Our cost comparison was updated in July 2008 to reflect the average cost of diapering a baby
with disposable diapers in the Boston Metro area at that time.
Diapers we used to calculate averages - Huggies, Pampers, and the generic store brand.
Sizes compared - newborn through 5, EXCLUDING 'Pull-ups', 'Swim Diapers' and wipes.
Average cost per diaper at national wholesale warehouse = 18.8 cents
5. Average cost of diapering 1 child per day = $1.88
Average cost of diapering 1 child for 2.5 years = $1715.50
Average cost per diaper at local Boston grocery store = 34.2 cents
Average cost of diapering 1 child per day = $3.42
Average cost of diapering 1 child for 2.5 years = $3120.75
Depending on what type of reusable diapering system you choose, you can spend as little as
$450.00 for economical pre-folds or as much as $1,200.00 for the more expensive all-in-one
style diapers (both figures include the cost of covers and reusable cloth wipes). Keep in mind
that this is the cost of a COMPLETE reusable cloth diapering set up that will last not only for 1
child, but can be reused for subsequent children as well.
Just roughly, that is a savings of anywhere from about $500.00 up to a staggering $2,700.00 for
2 children, with continued savings for each child you re-use those cloth diapers for after that.
Most people break even with the cost of reusable cloth diapering vs. using disposables within 6-
10 months (depending on which type of cloth diapers you choose). After that, it is 100% money
saved. Think of all the fun stuff you can do with your savings, or how about that college account
you keep meaning to set up for your baby? The savings translate to a lifetime of benefits, no
matter which way you look at it.
HOW TO WASH ORGANIC REUSABLE CLOTH DIAPERS
When parents consider choosing reusable cloth diapers for their baby, one of the first questions
that comes to mind is how cloth diapers are washed, and if it will create extra work for a busy
new family.
Washing reusable diapers is quite simple. Reusable diapers need not be complicated to use or
care for, and if you choose organic cloth diapers like we do, you will find that you only have 2-3
extra loads of laundry per week (most people wash their reusable cloth diapers every 2-3 days).
Only a generation or two back, reusable cloth diapers were the norm; every mother used soft,
fabric diapers on her baby. Unfortunately, many of us remember the laborious wash routine
involved with reusable diapers in our mothers' and grandmothers' generations. Washing cloth
diapers in generations past included dunking soiled cloth diapers in the toilet before hand
washing and/or boiling the reusable diapers in a pot on the stove to sanitize them. After all of
that work, mothers hoped for some sunshine to naturally remove stains and dry her baby's
diapers as they hung on a laundry line in her backyard or between apartment buildings.
6. Fast forward to the 21st century, and not only are modern cloth diapers better than ever, but
washing reusable diapers is easier than ever! We personally use and advocate ORGANIC cloth
diapers for several reasons.
1. Diapers made from organic natural fibers such as hemp, bamboo, cotton, or a blend of
these are naturally more absorbent than reusable diapers sewn from synthetic material
such as polyester, micro fleece, suede cloth or Zorb. This is important since absorbency
IS what we want from a diaper. While ALL reusable diapers help reduce waste in our
landfills, ORGANIC cloth diapers are made from fibers that have been grown without the
use of harmful pesticides, herbicides, synthetic fertilizers, and toxic chemicals.
Chemicals used in the manufacture of non-organic fabric is detrimental to farmers and
field workers, toxic to our environment and harmful to our babies; and fertilizers and
chemicals can actually leave residue on the fiber which, when absorbed through the
skin, causes irritation and in the worst cases, may disrupt natural hormone and
endocrine function.
2. Organic Reusable Cloth Diapers are easier to launder! Organic fiber cloth diapers are
less likely to have repelling issues caused by detergent buildup or diaper cream buildup
(for those who may need diaper cream - most babies in cloth don't) which means a
simple 'wash and go' laundry routine without time wasted 'stripping' diapers.
3. Organic Reusable Cloth Diapers are easier to launder! Organic fiber cloth diapers are
less likely to have repelling issues caused by detergent buildup or diaper cream buildup
(for those who may need diaper cream - most babies in cloth don't) which means a
simple 'wash and go' laundry routine without time wasted 'stripping' diapers.
So, how DOES one wash a baby's organic diapers? It's a cinch!
1. If your baby's organic diaper is wet with urine or soiled from a liquid bowel movement
(during the early months or while your baby is exclusively breastfed), remove the
reusable diaper and simply place it in a wet bag or diaper pail for laundry day.
2. If your baby's organic cloth diaper is soiled from a solid bowel movement, remove the
reusable diaper, dump solid fecal matter in the toilet and then place the diaper in a
wetbag or diaper pail for laundry day. TIP: If you want to keep the poopy diapers
separate from urine diapers and diaper covers, a smaller wet bag inside your regular
diaper pail or diaper pail liner is very convenient.
3. On laundry day, place your baby's poopy cloth diapers in the washing machine with ½
the manufacturers recommended amount of additive-free laundry detergent. Wash for
1 cycle with cold water.
4. At this point, you can either:
7. a. Wash for a 2nd cycle on HOT with 1/2 the manufacturer's recommended amount
of additive-free laundry detergent (recommended if your baby's organic cloth
diapers are heavily soiled or need to be sanitized). Then go on to step 4.b
OR
b. Skip step 4.a and just add the wet urine diapers to the load of poopy diapers
(that have been washed 1 cycle) and launder with 1/2 the manufacturer's
recommended amount of additive-free laundry detergent.
NOTE: If your baby only has 1 or 2 soiled (poopy) cloth diapers on laundry day, we recommend
washing all of your baby's reusable diapers together, so as not to waste water and/or energy on
a load that is less than full.
If you have an HE or front loading washing machine, we recommend that you run the reusable
cloth diapers for an extra rinse cycle, to ensure that all detergent has been completely removed
from your baby's organic diapers. If you have a top loading washing machine (drum/agitator
style), an extra rinse cycle is often not necessary, but may be. If you have a top loading washing
machine and you notice your organic diapers become less absorbent than usual or begin
retaining a urine odor, these are both signs that the laundry detergent has not been thoroughly
removed from the reusable cloth diapers and an extra rinse cycle is needed. If your baby is a
preemie, or you have a baby with a suppressed immune system or highly sensitive skin, an
extra rinse cycle is a wise idea just in case.
HOW TO DRY ORGANIC REUSABLE CLOTH DIAPERS
After laundering your baby's reusable diapers, either hang dry or tumble dry. If you want to
cloth diaper in the MOST energy efficient manner possible, we recommend washing your baby's
diapers in an HE, front load, or Energy Star rated washing machine, and then hanging your
reusables to dry on a laundry line (indoor or outdoor). If hang drying is not a good option for
your family, tumble dry your reusables in an Energy Star rated tumble dryer on low heat. If you
are a busy family and time is limited (like us!) tumble drying on medium or high heat will do the
trick, but please be aware that tumble drying repeatedly on high heat will shorten the lifespan
of the elastic in fitted reusable diapers. While a certain amount of shrinkage is both normal and
necessary when prepping organic baby diapers for initial use, regularly drying reusable cloth
diapers on a high heat setting may, over time, cause excessive shrinkage of the natural, organic
fibers.
WHAT ABOUT REUSABLE DIAPER COVERS?
Reusable cloth diaper covers can either be washed by hand or laundered in the washing
machine along with your organic baby diapers. You will get the longest use out of them if you
8. hang them to dry, but they can also be dried with a tumble dryer. Reusable diaper covers dry
super fast, so a low heat setting is all that is needed. If you use a waterproof PUL diaper cover
or an All-In-One (AIO) reusable diaper with a waterproof PUL outer, and feel that the
effectiveness of the cover has diminished, tumble drying on a high heat setting will help to re-
seal the laminate to the fabric.
WHAT ABOUT ORGANIC WOOL DIAPER COVERS?
Wool diaper covers can also be hand washed and air dried. Please see our step-by-step
instructions for washing and lanolizing organic wool diaper covers HERE.
WHAT ABOUT STAINS ON ORGANIC REUSABLE CLOTH DIAPERS?
We don't think stains are a big deal. Honestly, any staining on reusable cloth diapers is going to
be on the inside of the organic diaper where nobody sees it. Stains on organic cloth diapers are,
in short, protein stains; much like a grass stain or blood stain. Staining will not affect the
absorbency, sanitation, or effectiveness of organic baby diapers. If stains really bother you that
much, a raw silk diaper liner or biodegradable diaper liner can be used between your baby's
skin and his or her cloth diaper to prevent staining. If you want to treat old stains, the sun is the
best method to rid organic of all, the sun is all natural and FREE!
