Real nappies
Cute, cool and comfy
More parents switch as they realize real
nappies cut waste and save hundreds of pounds. With funky
designs and flushable liners, many fasten with poppers/velcro and
can be washed along with your baby’s clothes (if kept in a separate
wash at 60 degrees). There's no need to pre-soak or boil wash.
Did you know?
- one baby uses around 5,000 nappies in 2½
years
- this costs parents between £700-£1,300
- an estimated 200 million disposables are thrown away in Wales
each year; 38,000 tonnes going to landfill; costing Welsh tax
payers around £2 million
- once on a landfill site, a disposable nappy will take around
300 years to decompose
Real
nappies:
- cost around £1 per week to home launder
- don’t cause nappy rash or use chemicals which over dries babies
skin
- are good for baby’s posture; keeping hips apart at the right
distance
- encourage babies to potty train earlier
