尿布?那是什麽年代的東西?
上篇寫道安琪患上尿疹後,心裡有些想法不吐不快,想把一些關於尿布和尿片的觀念寫下來。
在安琪出生以前,我完全沒有想過要給她用尿布。
“尿布?那是什麽年代的東西?我才不會用呢!”我從潛意識到下意識,再到意識裡,都很清楚自己有這不屑尿布的想法。我輕視、我看不起尿布,沒來由的驕傲,只因為“這是什麽年代了,還有人在用嗎?”而且明明已經有一用即丟、方便得很的尿片,幹嘛還要用尿布呢?
而且我家婆千叮嚀萬囑咐,尿布千萬不可丟進洗衣機洗,一定要用手洗。
天啊!手洗?幹嘛不用洗衣機?
我是個天性相當懶的人,能用機器代勞的家務事,絕對不會想用手做。比如我一直想買一個會自動掃地的“機器人”,後來要不是聽人家說,其效果奇差而且價格不菲,我才不會死心。
尤其我自小就在幻想,如果有一天有人發明一種即穿即丟的衣服,那該有多好呢!那麼就不不用天天經歷洗衣、曬衣、收衣、折衣的循環了。這種懶人的突發奇想,大概不是正常人所能了解的。
所以自上大學,宿舍有投幣式的洗衣機後,我就幾乎不用手洗衣。除了貼身衣物、會褪色還有價格不菲的衣服。價格不菲,指的是單件上衣單價30美金以上的衣服(上班衣又不在這個類別內,一律都由洗衣機代勞);要不然,統統一次過往洗衣機裡丟,半個小時後再去處理晾乾的問題。如果是冬天的話,大不了再加上個烘乾的程序。
我承認,在洗衣服這件事上,我的確懶得要命!所以,我一直期待有人可以發明拋棄式衣物。當然,我在做這樣無厘頭思考的時候,是排除了污染環境的問題。
孩子出生後,家婆在幫我坐月子期間,一直不斷的在算:如果用市面上受最多家長推崇、價格最貴的Mamypoko尿片,安琪一個月就會丟掉爸爸多少錢。她也一直重複說,安琪爸爸和安琪的叔叔從來沒有用過一片尿片。
“阿嫲每天幫妳洗,Liner一片一角,加上水錢,用不了多少錢......”這樣的話,我每天都在聽,但也沒有多大的感覺。只是想到,慘了,以後要用手洗尿布......還有,家婆說小孩子的衣服也不能丟洗衣機,唉!
過去有上班有收入,尿片錢,說真的,其實也不算什麽啦!所以在週末自己看小孩的時候,我偶爾會偷懶給安琪穿尿片半天。因為我平日已經累到不行,想趁週末開個小差,尤其加上她小時候每尿一次就大哭一次,換尿布換到我腰酸背痛。
在以上這麼多非用尿布不可的理由中,唯一能打動我的只有兩個:用尿片很不環保;其次,就是長尿疹這件事了。
我這個懶人,終於也會有“每天用手洗十幾條尿布,還有小孩衣服、手帕及圍巾”的這一天。
我摸著日漸粗燥的雙手,再想想安琪可愛的屁股,我覺得後者比較重要。至於手不再細嫩這件事,就只好試著說服自己不要那麼介意就好了。

我也是屬於懶惰洗衣的一群,自己的衣服大多數請洗衣機代勞,但我的寶寶的衣服會堅持用手洗。雖然我的先生我的家婆叫我用洗衣機洗但我就是不想也不要,因為我覺得用手洗比較乾淨衛生。雖然我比較喜歡寶寶用尿布,但照顧他的家婆則喜歡用後即丟的尿片,所以只好讓寶寶穿尿片,向地球說抱歉了。
ReplyDeletekc,那你還是很勤勞呀。在洗衣服這件事上面,我的確懶得很。
ReplyDelete尿布也会与时并进的。have a look at this:

Modern Cloth: What's New?
ALL-IN-ONE: A shaped absorbent nappy with a waterproof cover built-in, the all-in-one is fastened with either hook & loop or snaps. Like the fitted nappy, these come in various sizes from birth to toddler, with some being one-size so they grow with your baby. The ready-to-go option.
BOOSTER: An absorbant pad of material that is lain inside a nappy to give extra absorbency.
COVERS: Gone are the days of sweaty PVC covers! Improved materials are used today (polar fleece, nylon, wool & Polyurethane Laminates or PUL) that are easy to maintain and keep mess in while allowing your baby's skin to breathe. Covers can either be pull-up or use fasteners such as hook & loop (Velcro®) or snaps.
FITTED: Fitted nappies are shaped, ensuring no leaks and a comfortable fit. They typically have elastic in the legs and waist and most have hook & loop or snap fasteners attached. They come in a range of sizes or a one-size-fits-all style, in hemp, bamboo & cotton. Fitted Nappies are adjustable and are typically used with a cover.
LINERS: Liners help to keep baby dry and make disposing of solid waste far easier. They are made of microfleece - an inexpensive material that is durable and easy to clean. Alternatively you might choose a biodegradable or flushable liner.
LITTLE SQUIRT: This is a hand operated spray nozzle with a flexible hose. You connect it to your toilet system and use it to clean the mess from your nappies straight into the toilet.
POCKET NAPPIES: Similar to the all-in-one, pocket nappies are a cover and liner sewn together to form (as the name suggests) a pocket. The pocket is stuffed with an absorbent material (a flat nappy or a pre-sewn stuffer) to give the convenience of an all-in-one, with variable absorbency and a fraction of the drying time.
PREFOLD: Similar to a terry flat, but made of trimmer material and with thicker, more absorbent central panel.
TERRY FLATS: A square of terry towelling, designed to be folded in a variety of different ways to adjust the "wet zone" and fastened by pins or snappis.
