ENDOCRINE DISRUPTORS
Some practical tips for reducing their exposure
Water dispensers: do not forget your water bottle
To help you stay hydrated whilst minimising plastic waste, water dispensers are available in the various units of the Mother and Child Department.
Please remember to bring a water bottle with you during your stay.
Reusable nappies
Parents staying in our maternity wards can try out Snappies washable nappies: an eco-friendly, healthy and economical alternative to disposable nappies, which you can discover whilst you’re in the maternity ward.
Just as simple and practical to use as a standard disposable nappy, Snappies nappies offer numerous benefits:
- Eco-friendly and economical. Less waste for the planet, and a sustainable solution that remains cost-effective in the long term.
- Soft and healthy. A very soft fabric, free from endocrine disruptors, designed to be gentle on your baby’s delicate skin.
- Convenient and hygienic. They are used in exactly the same way as disposable nappies and are washed according to strict hygiene protocols, giving you complete peace of mind.
How can you make the most of them?
Washable nappies are available for a daily fee during your stay at the maternity ward.
It couldn’t be simpler: just speak to your midwife; she’ll be delighted to help you get started.
Washable and reusable nappy liners
Try them and you’ll love them!
During your stay in the postpartum unit, you can try out reusable nappy pads and, if you wish, purchase them.
Further information is available from the nursing team.
