Reusable Cloth Nappies

I am a parent of one two year old who is just getting out of nappies. Which is something I never thought could be such an awesome thing a few years ago. The only dampener is that my wife is also having another baby in a few months so the cycle will then restart again. But this time we have decided to use modern cloth nappies, instead of the old style.

For us an environmentally friendly nappy is very important. We don’t want to use disposable nappies, except for the one our new baby will wear to bed when he or she is a little older.

With our first child we went through a lot of plastic pilchers and also the clips that hold the old style cloth nappy together. It was not such a problem of the cost of these things, as they are quite cheap, but the hassle. If the clip for example broke at a friends house, we didn’t have a spare. And they would always get lost amongst the other stuff on the change table and you would have to find them while holding a baby on the change tale too.

The modern cloth nappies seem to me to be the best solution. Washable nappies are way cheaper than disposable over the life of the child, aside from just be better for the environment. They also come in different colours such as red cloth nappies or blue modern cloth nappies.

I will let you know how it goes for us and our new reusable nappies later.
