BabiesThinking of using cloth nappies?Roving mum Irene Bausas shares what she learnt.“I am using cloth nappies with my second oneas I felt bad thinking about where our wasteends up. It was quite overwhelming doing theresearch and finally taking the plunge.For me the first 3 months were crazy, I wasjuggling 2 children on very little sleep so when Istarted cloth nappies, it just stressed me outmore and I nearly gave up on it. It is harderwork, specially number 2 nappies but there’s acertain satisfaction with using cloth nappies.How young shouldyour baby startbeing active?You’re saving money and saving the earth. Somy advice would be don’t start it too soon.There are Facebook groups for cloth nappyusers. I also met a lady through the group whobecame my mentor. It was useful to chat withsomeone who knows more about it.There’s also the Nappy Lady. You cancontact her for an initial free assessment andshe’ll make recommendations based on yourlifestyle/needs.The initial cost of cloth nappies is quite highbut you can buy them second hand. I even gotsome of mine for free from a local parentgroup.My baby did not take it to it at the start butwith some tweaking, change of nappy brand (Iswear by Bumgenius), letting him get used to it,we are now using fewer disposable nappies.I’ve been using Little Gubbins cloth wipes(available via Amazon) and they are amazing!They’re the perfect size for wiping up messyhands and faces. They come in differentcolours so I colour code them for face andbums and cost less than other brands. “Helping you find anannyKirsty Fletcher started Nanny State with the goal ofhelping families find the perfect nanny.
